    This year's Sydney Hobart yacht race

    Congratulations! Sounds like a great adventure - nothing like giving it all for a few days to make you feel ten foot tall and bulletproof. Not to mention jealous as hell. One day.....

    How / Where is the best place to sell a boat

    It just so happens.... How Australia's first Dragon sound? I'm looking to sell Platypus DKA1 as we don't use her enough now that we have a young family. Slipped and anti-fouled last month. New rigging in 2005. Some new ribs in 2006. A little timber work necessary on the starboard...

    That'd be too much time sailing - wanna swap? Pretty please? The content I mean is things like music (mp3's and the like), home movies, downloaded content, DVD's, pictures and even things like IPTV I believe. Being open source, someone may come up with a way to intergrate the new online...

    Mythtv has my vote Mythtv (Mythbuntu) has my vote. I'm just completing a build of one now using old PC components - have been running one in the study for a fewmonths. In a black piano finish case filled with old bits, it will blend perfectly with the home theatre equipment and will play...

    Current/ex-military types...

    Don't bet on it. Similar to MW, enlisted 1991, commissioned Army Officer 1994, first command with 8 Signals Regt. K95 my guys were running the deployed field LAN and 2 Div comms. May have worked with some of your EW guys up there - small teams really wreaked havoc. Then ops officer and 2IC...

    Sydney's struggle street

    They probably could by an existing house chepaer - but don't just blame 'greedy developers' - much of that 400K+ would be state govt development levies which are not negotiable. Cheers,

    Has the rental market cooled?

    I understand from a couple of PM sources that June in particular is very slow - being 6 months after the other slow period - Christmas. I understand that interest should pick up again in mid-late July - coinciding with Jan. Ours is still available - has been on the market for around 4...

    The saga continues or so it seems

    I understand that in the break lease situation you are responsible for all of the costs for advertising and covering the gap if the re-let rent is less than that you were paying for the duration of the lease. So, if you'd like them to advertise harder, it would probably cost you more.... you...

    PAYE variation notice

    A big fat Zero! Don't forget to duck down to Bunnings for some red & white paint and a 6x4 sheets of plywood to make some sandwich boards.... It's the only other way I can think to make a statement that you're a target not to be overlooked :D Knowing you're profession, I'm more than...

    Buy backyard neighbour's house

    It depends on factors like where it is, what are your plans, what is your timeframe and most importantly - what else could you do with that money in the meantime (opportunity cost). We have an opportunity to do the same at the moment - would probably give us over 4000m2 in North Wahroonga -...

    OK, the globe is warming............

    Not much Well, have bought a few hectares of hardwood trees - I guess that helps, but someone else gets to claim the carbon credits. I support Nuclear Power, us digging up Uranium and value adding through processing and then storing spent fuel - becoming the one-stop shop for uranium fuel...

    2 down, more to go

    Thanks for thw well-wishes guys. Tradies have taken a little longer to fully complete than hoped (however, not necessarily longer than anticipated), so should be fully ready this week. Unfortunately, I won't have a chance to see it fully fleshed out - the tyranny of distance. A few...

    That pass was SO forward (State of Origin)

    I'm with Pitt on this one (don't really care about the game or the result) - the rules are the rules - whatever the game. If the game slows down because the ref is always on the whistle - there's one way to fix that, don't blame the ref, blame the players, who could keep the game moving if they...

    2 down, more to go

    Having 2 on the market is simply co-incidence. Our first (Bulimba) has been rented since the day after settlement last year for the rate shown. It is in a break lease situation at the moment, with the tenants (who have been great) giving plenty of notice to allow a good marketing period. We...

    2 down, more to go

    Feedback so far indicates we may have a tenant early next week. Each to their own I guess - we're not looking to appeal to the 80% of tenants or to provide an 'ok' property - there are alot of people in that market already. Nope - not necessarily looking for the 4 kid family to fill the...

    2 down, more to go

    Mark's right. There are a number of estates in the area and comparing values based upon number of beds / baths doesn't do them justice. We looked at other builder's homes being produced in the area and they do not compare - much smaller rooms, tight doorways and halls, lower spec finishes and...

    Yep...mmm - nice pick up. I think that may be a photo of ours... There are a couple of new properties coming out in close succession, being advertised in advance....

    2 down, more to go

    We bought at 535000 last year - or more accurately, contracted to pay 535000 last year, choosing the property from there next release and having some modifications to the internal colour schemes and standard contract to suit us. I believe that other (smaller) designs are now selling in later...

    2 down, more to go

    IP #2 settles today - brand new 4 bed + study in Wakerley QLD, about 17Km from the Brisbane CBD towards Manly. The largest single level design in the estate. We signed the contract late last year - so far it has only cost us the deposit bond, but believe it has already gone up ~50K in value...
