Thanks for the replies. Yes looking to demo and rebuild in about 6 months if the number work. Otherwise will look to sell. To be honest, I don't know what the wall lining is but I've never seen walls like it before. The top half is embossed metal and the bottom half is timber. And yes, I'm...

G'day! Have an old cheapie that needs some cleaning. The house is about 90 years old and it quite likely has lead paint. A few areas are peeling which is concerning me. Currently is it not tenanted and is empty. From what I've been told (and my own research), a professional painter needs to...

Demo costs may blow up if asbestos needs to be removed prior. I'm doing something similar to an ancient 2br weatherboard house and demo cost with asbestos removal was about 30k ballpark. Will be getting an inspection for an accurate quote later.

How long has it been on the market for? If it has been on the market for a long time, the vendor could be more open to a price negotiation or they might fix it for you if you request.

I've used Tab S, iPad and Surface. It really depends what you want to use the tablets for and how tech savvy you are. If you're not tech savvy, go for the iPad. It works and this is what I would choose. Tab S is ok, heaps more affordable but I wouldn't use it. Surface is awesome but its...

Crest strips work well basing it on my cousin's teeth. Her teeth are super white and I dare not even smile near her because mine look terrible compared to hers. Bloody Americans and their flawless smiles! I had my teeth professional done (in chair) a couple of years ago. I don't drink coffee...
