    I have done a number of kitchen renos. A wise interior designer told me that out of Bunnings and Ikea kitchens always go the Ikea. We have just done a full reno on a house and have used the Ikea kitchen apart from a few trips from Canberra to Sydney to fix up some ordering mistakes are very...

    Tenants mates moved in without approval.

    It wouldn't be DHA it would be LOA (Living out allowance) and is paid by the CO of the unit he is posted to. It would be based on who is living in the property so if he is the only one on the lease he is ripping off the system.

    Thoughts about building in Armadale, WA

    It would depend on where in Armadale you were looking to build. There are some low income areas where you may have problems. Then there are estates on what used to be the old chook farms and these are just like estates everywhere. You gets what you pay for. The new area of Armadale is just...
