Checkout now, ABC. They are sending up Ikea.

I am researching building a colorbond carport in front of our existing brick garage. It will be inside the 6 mtr setback. I will phone council but in case I get a dud response, I want to know what fees I have to pay and what applications I need to lodge. We are not in either Caboolture or...

Hello, can I please pick your brains. I want to get my timber floors redone. Our home is 26 years old but the thought of removing all our books and furniture so we can get the floors redone has meant that this job has been in the too hard basket for way too many years. We have discussed...

The Coffee Lounge is getting boring, so I thought I'd throw this out there for your seasoned consideration. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-03-01/lambie-threatened-with-beheading/6271732?section=tas Is it for real, a hoax or a PR stunt?

Would you buy a house to rent out, right across the road from a high school? It is also really close to Woollies and the bus to the CBD.

We watched a bit of The Project tonight while eating dinner and tonight the movie review was about some monochromatic movie. Afterwards I turned over for my Thursday night fix of culture and cooking shows. While in the kitchen I could hear Adam kneading a focaccia. "Rub it with olive oil and...

Hubby is online looking for a new job. He found one for me, as a PM. I had to explain to him that my people skills are somewhat lacking and I don't do telephone communication. Roll eyes. We've been married 34 years.

In Qld, who pays for pest treatments? REIQ lease, 12 months ago, looks to me like the tenant, but does anyone know more? PM didn't return my email before COB today. She asked me this afternoon if I want her to go ahead and get it done.

For the past four months I have been agonising over what colour to repaint our bathroom and toilet. The rest of the house was repainted a year or two ago, inside and out. We have previously replaced the old shower screen with a new single-panel one, and replaced all the old yellowed plastic...

Tonight we cooked dinner on the wok burner, a first for my ASD son and myself. I have been using the stovetop to stir fry for 34 years but tonight, while hubby was having a snooze, I thought we must get around to using the wok burner on the "new" BBQ we bought this time last year. I ventured...

This week I received the news of more water damage to our house in Gladstone. I was going to replace the crappy carpet in the three bedrooms next time it is vacated, but I might as well do it now since two rooms got water all through them. I also want to sweeten the chances of the current...

Hi. Our home is getting a reno because we will probably sell it when we retire in a few years. It was built in 1988 and the outside has been repainted a few times. It has "black and tan" bricks (brown, maroon and navy) with a dark blue tile roof, tan features above the door and windows, and...

In the current spirit of doom and gloom, I am wondering what conspiracy theories we have heard regarding the G20 event. If there is already a thread on this, please forgive my tiredness after another hot and frazzled day with the kids. I just deleted the juicy theory I have heard because I...

I've just spent half an hour searching here but cant find what I'm looking for. I know it's a weekend. I'm reading my EBM/QBE docs and they have a new def of flood, the letter is dated 19th June 2013, attached to the renewal. Can anyone confirm what this is: (d) another natural...

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-09-24/janda-the-myth-of-mum-and-dad-negative-gearers/5766724 I could tear this article to pieces but I'm being domestic ATM (supposed to be cooking dinner). I'll let you all have a go at it first. One anomaly, I think, is in the blue graph and the...

I am currently trying to get the interest rate reduced on our mortgages and neither NAB nor Suncorp are playing nicely. Suncorp refuses to reduce the interest rate on the Line of Credit, but might offer us a new loan from their suite of new business deals. Same house but with a whole new...

A few weeks ago I mentioned that we want to sell up the property in Gladstone, using the fact that it has a current lease for another six or seven months in place as a selling point. My learned colleagues here pointed out that the most likely purchaser would be an Owner Occupier, which I agree...
