    Melbourne vs Perth

    The problem is, you open an Aldi and all the east coasters start moving in. Sometimes in order to keep the trash out you need to make some minute sacrifices.

    When is enough?

    Not allowed to have a shaved head with my beard. Ms boeman thinks it makes me too much of a bikie.

    Melbourne vs Perth

    If it is 10pm I cant imagine I would choose shopping over being in a nice bar or catching a concert? As long as there are supermarkets that are 24/7 it suits me.

    When is enough?

    And there I was worrying about a receding hairline. Ponytail here I come.

    Melbourne vs Perth

    Been out in Perth recently? I cant think of anything Perth doesn't have now in regards to entertainment and culture that Melbourne doesn't, except for sporting events. We have the best entertainment centre in the country and bars and restaurants popping up everywhere.

    Temporary Floor Protection?

    Hardiflex is reasonably cheap and durable, we use it often to protect a lot of forms of flooring during construction. Comes in 3000x1200 sheets which are a good size to work with.

    Most fun jobs you've ever had

    I work on the side as a surfing & bodyboarding judge. I get paid to sit in a comfy chair with an ipad and watch people surf. On top of the pay, they provide travel, accommodation and food for every event. Generally we have a nice house, and eat out for all the meals. Have gotten to see...

    Cost of Custom Build v Project Build Home

    Be careful with this. Project builders often have margins south of 25%. Plus that 25% margin is on their purchase costs, which may/will be much less than what you can buy materials for as a walk-in customer. Great way to save money if done correctly/in the right situation, but you...

    So what does everyone here do for a living?

    No, they don't.

    When is enough?

    Some people stop so long to smell the roses they end up becoming weeds living off the nutrients meant for the roses. I am of the belief that I partied and enjoyed myself up to 25. Good fun, no commitments and no regrets. Now 27 I am bunkered down and working hard so by the time I am 40 I...

    6 month post-build inspection

    Anything you are not happy with pretty much. Cracking in cornices is a big one. Common myth is that a house settles and causes it. The reality is if the last course of brickwork isn't perfectly level, then the wall plate and subsequent joists and rafters sitting over have more room to move...

    "Shell" apartments

    Because paperwork. Why let 100 people customise their apartment, where you need to change some services and cabinets etc, when you can copy and paste and just order 100 of the same appliances/basins/taps etc. It is the same principle for why it is cheap to build a project home over a...
