hi wish ga, my neighbour (above me) has just asked permission to put in a toshiba split system aircon/heating. the inverter (the fan thingy that stays outside) is 690mm (high) x 880mm (wide) x 310mm (in depth) not sure on the noise level of the inverter, i will have to ring the neighbour and...

thanks mate, its just that i have some old silicon that needs removing, been annoying me now for 2 years. eventually i was just going to use a razor blade or something :eek: i will check bunnings out, here in canberra and see if they stock it. cheers shaun

where did you buy it from?? thanks shaun

yes it is, i've worked out i need to pay about 2 grand tax next year. only because i renovated the place for 5k etc

i suspect its an american thing, i still havent recieved an email saying whether the price is US dollars or auzzie, i might give it a miss. 400 dollars US off a mortgage would help me better. :D cheers shaun

my final update, well the money is now in the bank, all up after costs a 39k profit:D the unit was advertised for 280k in the end, it ended up selling for 261 (bought for 210k in september 03) might go shopping this weekend and buy some new clothes!! i've been putting it off for about a year...

i agree with michael on this one, find what the problem is exactly then try and find a solution. ie, maybe offer long settlement, give the tennant to offer to buy at a discounted rate if they are "quick" to make an offer. perhaps offer the buyers a smaller deposit with the understanding of a...

thanks for that crest. i dont need the advice now, i sold the place last week! the problem was it was advertised at too high a price, add onto that, darwin is a small town and people knew what the other units sold for earlier this year, they just refused to account for capital growth, even...

hi all, i am trying to write my own advertisement for a unit i am selling in darwin and was after everyones opinion on the add. the unit is currently being advertised on...

my biggest fear was actually borrowing money! i had 8k in the bank that i'd save up over 6 months or so. and went looking for a property. i found one for 58k, renting at 100 a week. i lived on a naval base so food and rent was taken care of with plenty of cash left around. i ended up buying...
