vol builders like PD always offer basic windows in base package, ie 3mm glass in cheap alum frames, they are neither thermally efficient nor attractive, getting decent glazinng ie doubles with high/low U value & SHGF in thermally broken or wooden frames appropriate for Melbourne probably cost...

No way in 2 years the price of land there wasn't that cheap, are you sure? that's gotta be wrong. you cant get a 600m2 block in forest hill for less than 650-700K now and your dreaming of 285K for a 48sq Waldorf by porter davis reckon prices to do it now would be..... a 650sqm land @...

http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-forest+hill-116142135 1.42million for a kath -n- kim style McMansion in forest hill on 627m2, i thought i was mad but who is paying these kinds of prices. it seems there's some desperation to get property at any price these days!

Y-man, thanks for sharing your story, it sounds like you were very very leveraged and double dipping, I believe margin loans are for the muppets. The main lenders charge about 9-10% currently on these accounts, unless you have a cyrstal ball and can pick em well its very risky to buy stocks...

good for you toony, sounds like to need to try and get to the G more often and get some value for money outta that membership

buzz i think the wait for reserve is 15years approx so you will be waiting just a few more years at most.

thanks mate, i think there are many advantages, tickets to grand final pretty much guaranteed full strenght beer better views / positioning for the cricket good value for money on season tickets for what you get no waiting outside on long queues with the rest of the great unwashed

Anyone on the forum here, know of a good technique to get proposer and seconder for membership of MCC??, would like to get my son on list as i'll probably be about 60, if i applied for myself with a 25yr or so wait, not that i know a single person that is a member. it appears to be quite an...

Is it a good idea to rent your property to a housing agency, its likely to be tenanted by homeless or refugees and they may be harder on the property but you are dealing with a government organisation rather than individual tenants. They are offering 3month up front etc, good idea or...

House Keeper, Give us an update, did you get the surgery, how did it all go?
