TomCat's new digs!

[Quickstatus]

They dont sound like junk @Cossie . More like treasure...

 

[blackcat20]

But where do you put all your junk, like cars and car bodies, old push bikes, spare wheels, engines, parts and body panels?

In the bin?

 

[VPS]

Excellent news - fingers crossed that it all happens

 

[RAM]

In the bin?

NOOOOOOooooooooooo!

 

[serfty]

In the bin?

No, out on the nature strip for the yearly council hard waste collection theatre.

Ours no longer does that. We have to make a booking.

Frankston council did the same; cancelled contracts. Such an outcry from voters ratepayers that they reversed the decision; what would normally be happing around now, won't happen until about Easter.

SA rate payers are on a mission to cap rates. The councils reacted by saying that would mean they would need to cut essential services. The main thing people want is rubbish collection, safe parks and lighting. First thing councils thought was a good idea would be to reduce household rubbish to one delivery a fortnight. Having worked with councils and knowing an ex CE personally there is SO much fat and fluff in their budget. One council even paid golf club fees for one of SA’s major Private Golf Clubs - located many many kilometers away! And they still don’t see what was wrong about that. Hate em.

FWIW, it seems the more relevant "City of Casey" does "hard rubbish" to order.

Kills the theater somewhat! (allthough "Report dumped rubbish on your pile")

Here come the seagulls.

We have to book hard rubbish collection from our council but are really restricted as to what we can put out. Occasionally we put out random items just to see what will happen and they usually just disappear. My husband made the mistake of putting firewood in the front garden on our property and that disappeared as well.

Good to hear that things are nearly ready for handover. Good luck setting everything up. Let us know if you need help.

And the next AFF meeting is at TCND!!

NB - backyard
Above NB upgraded to air conditioned comfort

@JessicaTam

Umm, what?

 

[TomVexille]

Umm, what?

I think they're trying to say that my backyard will not be attending...

and maybe you're responsible for the event thread?

 

[love_the_life]

Fingers crossed handover happens for you.

 

[blackcat20]

Hoping to hear something today; it was all relying on the trades being booked in.

Our dining suite and couch are both ready for delivery and I'm being hassled for dates so want to get that locked in asap. Also need to go purchase a dishwasher, and book the removalists.

 

[Denali]

Make sure you take a dinner plate with you when you buy a dishwasher.

Rookie newlywed mistake of mine was a dishwasher that didnt fit the large dinner plates - so next dishwasher, I took plates and tall glasses to the Good Guys with me.

Or likes my niece who bought a nice new fridge for her rental property.

Yes, it was too big for the fridge space.

 

[blackcat20]

Our fridge is tiny compared with the cavity. Room to upgrade later but its not a priority at the moment.

Local council have taken on costs to their budget that have nothing to do with local rubbish, local roads, local parks, local libraries. Totally out of control

Its an interesting exercise.
Top mount, bottom mount, how many doors - 2,3,4. Right hinge or left hinge. white, SS, Smeg colour, water connection, energy rating

Bought one yesterday as appliancesonline had a birthday sale.
Ive went for a left hinge because its located to the left of the main kitchen area. I was told most people have a right hinge.

Unfortunately my fridge cavity is not wide enough for a standalone fridge and standalone freezer.

I just want a bigger version of what we have now (F&P, upside down, right hinge).
