    Homes of the Future

    This is the crux of it. IMHO this is definitely the way things will go. Home designs that fit the climate, we have been building silly European style homes in Australia for too long. This is a major way to reduce our carbon footprint. Homes in tropics should have Kitchens outside, open air...

    Kitchen - White Knight Laminate Paint

    I would leave it if rented out soon but if you want it nice for yourself for a while longer, consider using very large glassy black floor tiles as a splash back and black bunnings bench tops . This looks great against the wood and pretty cheap option. I understand you don't like the timber look...

    Does anybody have dish washing drawers?

    F&P thumbs down We installed a FP dish drawer in an investment property in 2007 and it never worked properly, we took it out and sent it to the dump 2 years later and installed a bunnings standard in SS. No problems with that one since.

    Unlucky I'm with AAMI

    Thanks for feedback everyone Sorry didn't reply to everyone earlier. Life has been very very hectic. Every property I own has had at least one fairly major issue to attend to in the past 2 months while I have been overseas! The tenant has begrudgingly attended to the repairs to the tiles. I...

    Importance of living near family?

    Have you had a real heart to heart with your partner about what is and isn't making him happy and what he really wants? You say you what you think he is feeling. ( I get in trouble for assuming I know what my husband is thinking/feeling all the time.) If there is a real possibility of...

    Carb-Nite Solution

    Hi Redwing, You still have to dig out veg that grows above the ground for example lettuce, cabbage cauliflower and broccoli. I avoid carrots, potatoes and starchy above ground veg too like corn. I wouldn't touch corn syrup with a barge pole. I'm not always good though and binge on Tim tams...

    YIKES! Keep an eye on CAIRNS!!

    Seems Margaret Lomas was wrong. I have heard Margaret Lomas consistently advising against investing in Cairns. I hope she is wrong and that I have been right to hang onto property there.

    What would you do with this fireplace?

    I would go antique white over the pink, clean up the bricks, tile over the floor tiles and absolutely number one........put a large mirror over the hearth. You can't beat Smoke and Mirrors.

    Am I Being Unreasonable

    You are not being unreasonable at all. I have had similar experiences where the PM has made decisions without consultation with me as the owner about length of leases offered, extension of leases, bond return, weekly rental amounts. For some reason many PM's seem to forget who they are working...
