My first Kitchen benchtop cut & install. Woo! Hoo! A friend is undergoing a complete unit reno for resale and asked if I could install the kitchen. Of course I couldn't say no. Eden would be proud of me. Thanks for the advice on the jig Eden. Got myself one and it works a treat! If you get...

With the warmer weather not far away (Yippee!), I'm canvassing interest from all Adelaide SSers (and SA country & interstaters who may be passing through) regarding conducting a regular weekend brunch or drinks get together or the like, possibly on a fortnightly basis. An opportunity to meet new...

With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed last week. Larry La Prise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey" died peacefully at age 93. The most traumatic part for the...

Hoping someone has a brilliant idea. Shower in IP developed a leak behind wall. Turned out to be the breeching piece behind the taps. Plumber has fixed but now a sizable hole in the wall (i'd post pics but wife's out with camera). The hole is 400mm x 300 mm (4 tiles) and taps are in middle...

Don't ask me how it happened but I really can't explain it. Here's the story. Pulling up floor tiles yesterday ready to re-tile my hall and renovate my toilet. Guy knocks on door and I was about to tell him to move on (nicely!) when he mentioned he was from the local Katate club seeking...

Hi all SSers. Just putting the feelers out. Has anyone attended the "2 Day Finance and Property Mastermind Workshop" run by 21st Century Property Direct? Similar to most email invites i've received lately, there's only X seats left so I better hurry, it's free but costs $995 from Jan...

Something like $40m :eek: was wagered on last nights lotto, but alas no winner! I need to set up a lotto business. At one city outlet near where I attend each day (sorry, I can't say it. It's a four letter word), they have been queueing since Monday morning. Walked past again today and...

Have just returned from holiday on Gold/Sunshine coasts and did a little looking around at property whilst there. On a recommendation from Josko I took a detour onto the Redcliffe peninsular area. I was impressed with what I saw and have commenced research for a possible purchase. I noticed a...

Has anyone noticed an increase in Strata insurance premiums lately? AGM for a Strata Corp was held last night and proxy advised today that Strata fees to go up $50 P/Qtr x 10 units (22%):eek: OMG!. $30 of the increase was to cover Strata insurance premium increase. Yes we had made a claim...

Given the cash is on its way, can anyone confirm if they've received their tax bonus yet. EFTs should be pretty much instant, only the cheques will take time. If so, by what means and when? Project 1080. The project: 10 IPs in 80 mths.

Wall Street hedge fund managers, derivatives traders and mortgage loan officers could have learned something from this kid! Sometimes less really is more!!! A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer, 'This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove...

With what's happening regarding the Global Financial situation happening around the word at present it's got me thinking. Has the same thing happened in the virtual world (Second Life and the like)? Can anyone confirm if the trend has flowed into the virtual word or has places like Second...

I notice no Adelaide meetings/networks listed in this forum. I'm interested in getting together with likeminded Sth Aussies to continue my learning and help me keep the momentum and motivation going. Of course this is reciprocal. OH doesn't have same level of interest I have in property &...
