Bahahaha - it's fullylucky. ;) The thread is fully sick, for sure.

1) You need cooling more than heating, so if you're installing an air-con, you may as well make it reverse cycle. 2) Most of Brissie doesn't have gas lines. (You can set up LPG bottles, but don't know if they're up to the task of running a central gas heating system - haven't ever seen one in...

Sorry, for Queensland it's a 1 hour and 57 year adjustment, thank you.

It's tricky, but you can figure out when winter is by adding 6 months to summer. That would make winter Jun - Aug, I think, but best check my calculations, because it's pretty complex stuff.

This has the makings of an awesome reality TV show.

Next time I'm talking with the Student Accommodation Industry Association, perhaps I can suggest they get you on as a consultant. Clearly, they can benefit from your wisdom and vast experience. How many Nandos per hour do you charge?

A few hundred-ish per room - maybe $500? Definitely an investment, but if you're in it for the long term, a worthwhile one. :)

Having had a licenced student accommodation (16 rooms x 7 years), I suggest you: 1) install reverse-cycle air-con, 2) get a sparky to wire up each room on a separate meter (all under one master meter, i.e. one account, but enabling you to pass on costs for individual room electricity), or...
