This just went up on the Book of Face. Best explanation I've seen in a long time.... maybe ever. Two words immediately spring to mind: Gina Rinehart.

Thank you Jan and Ian, and all the mods and others who have kept this forum going over the years. I look forward to the fun times continuing at propertychat :D

The main thing we have sacrificed is our time. Having mostly bought 'renovators' delights' and done the majority of the work ourselves, then renting them as self contained properties, I can't count the number of hours that we have spent on the properties rather than living it up.

Wow. Incredible stuff :eek:

Agree with jrc.

I selected right handed, as I do write with this hand, but I do many things comfortably with my left hand - I can quite happily paint left handed, for example. It drives my other half nuts, he just doesn't understand how I can do it :p

I grew up with dogs done and undone. The only time we had one that wasn't done was by the request of the breeder we'd bought him from - he was a show winner and she was thinking about breeding from him. Definitely wouldn't have another one unfixed again, unless we wanted to breed (which we...

What a sweetheart! The only reason we don't have rescue pets, is because we can't have animals at all - husband is far too allergic. That said, next door's cat spends all her time in our backyard - we feed her, she has her little igloo with a warm comfy bed (which she spends about ten hours...

Or implement my favourite of KathrynD's suggestions - take the front door off its hinges and remove from the property :D (Please note, I am NOT recommending this completely unorthodox method.... it just makes me giggle every time I recall it)

While I'm qualified in the dismal science, I work as a public servant.... which is also somewhat dismal I guess!! And two afternoons/evenings a week, I'm a flute teacher.

I'd agree with the larger doors, it will maintain the proportion of the rooms. If you get this out of whack it could end up feeling like you're living in a doll's house.

Persistence, and the ability to learn from mistakes.

Tonight's the Night, by Rod Stewart :eek:

I'm 38, other half is 40.

We have had tenants who have left their home country - South Africa - because they were living lives that they didn't want to raise their kids in - lots of security needed, lots of violent home invasions, lots of anxiety etc. That said, I have to say the general concept of 'white flight' is...

Just thought of something constructive. Why doesn't he get X amount from each pay (I assume he's working) sent straight to his super? Surely that's fairly safely locked away then? And no need for inappropriate boundary-crossing which could ruin a friendship.

I agree. Be very careful doing this. You're his friend, not his mother.

Congrats ellejay! :)

Hahah no, well we had new tenants move in almost immediately afterwards... I just hadn't done the final paperwork for the prev tenants :D but it's all done now!

Just did the paperwork for three bond returns and one new lease. Now, thinking fondly about an afternoon nap :D
