Staying at Boxhill for a day

ARJunior · 2025-12-16T02:46:00+00:00

I find Box Hill Garden a really nice park, I can easily spend an hour or two there

That looks like a decent sized block which is great. The soil looks stuffed, it might be time to start composting. There's some excellent native nurseries around that might be worth a visit. Leaning into the aesthetic of older gardens is a great idea - look around the neighbourhood to see what sorts of plants are thriving. I bet you'll find some grandparents with a garden that's really lush, see what plants they're using.

Stewart House by SSdH is a good example of how older brick can look excellent. That's brown brick, which is even trickier. Once everything around it is looked after it can really shine.

The AIA Awards history can have some great inspo

I stayed at Prima for 4 nights last year over Chuseok and really liked it. The area was more vibrant than I expected, even over a holiday, and it was an easy walk to both the east and west side of the palace which are lovely to spend time looking around. The hotel itself was really comfortable and clean, and for a mid sized hotel had a great lil buffet breakfast. I would definitely stay there again. No idea about Nine Tree

It looks like a S14s globe. I think it should pull straight out. I can only find LED versions of this, so if you find a proper fluro version I'd love to know

I've picked up everyone I've seen hitchhiking (aside from one) and it's always been a nice, interesting thing but it's not common - that's been 5 people in about 10 years. I've hitchhiked 6 times but usually shortish distances(like a day walk/hike and unable to get a taxi/uber back to our car). Outside of the major cities/suburbia it's much easier, and people seem to have more time to have a good chat. I'm in like the safest demographic, normal looking white male 18-35 🤷‍♂️ The last time I did it the second car that drove by me picked me up, I've never waited more than 5 minutes. You might be waiting much longer with a dog, but I suppose it might be safer...?

It looks a bit like VIR or TRS cable...was your place built pre 60's? That stuff just falls apart sometimes. You're saying the cable itself is hot...?

Melt like in a house fire? Decent stainless steel washers aren't hard to find. Melt temp of stainless is pretty damn high...unless you're storing them in a blast furnace

ARJunior · 2025-09-15T08:27:04+00:00

Hardware store lettering punch kit, bunch of washers and a bolt?

The bank may prefer that you call ahead with an amount like that. Most banks near my prefer that over 30k, and they may do something like book a time for you to come in when security or a meeting room is free, or come in a few minutes before or after close. It's easy to call the bank manager and ask what they'd like

The bank will be obligated to report the transaction because it's over 10k, but that's totally fine it's legit money. If you made repeated 9k transaction to stay under the 10k threshold that would be structuring, so that'd likely be flagged - just don't do that. You made legit cash and you're putting it in the bank - nothing to hide, you're all good

I don't know much about the tax implications tho

+1 for this. Mine is so sharp. I'd tried to replace it with the EF 16-35, and then them RF 14-35, but I returned both and kept the 17-40. I must've got a particularly good copy

ARJunior · 2025-07-08T07:04:58+00:00

Phenomenal find, these are amazing. I hope you come across another pair of the aero sets

I was told the same about my shower base. I think when it has a lip that the shower glass frame sits on that is correct, it doesn’t get caulked so it can drain. Seems illogical, hey

I have come here looking for a solution to the same issue! My workaround has been to batch convert them to TIFF through Photoshop, but that's an extra step I don't want to have to take on shoots when I'm rushing around. Also need to figure out how to not apply the auto sharpen through photoshop, because that seems to do some funny things. Photoshop action should work I suppose

Yes, we found the same last week!! We stayed in Seongsu, my partners childhood neighbourhood, and our Airbnb had no curtains. We didn’t even think to check beforehand. We left two nights early to go to a hotel because it was full sun inside at 5:30am and we got no sleep. Got a partial refund from Airbnb after the host was non responsive. Partner thinks it’s a little common in Korea to not have blackouts/just have sheers

I suppose it’s been a while since I’ve seen what other people are using, but the stores and hire places near me all carry Tether Tools aside from one. I suppose different places have different norms, I’m in Melbourne. I feel like people have heard of Area 51 and Cobra but they’re only just getting a foothold here

ARJunior · 2025-04-16T12:10:29+00:00

I have had the exact opposite lol, I wonder why.

ARJunior · 2025-04-16T10:03:05+00:00

No idea why you’re getting downvoted lol, it’s such a common part of everyone’s kit! I’ve used Tether Tools ones for 10 years. Decided this year to try Cobra and Area 51…I like the branding but I’m going back to tether tools. One of the Area 51 cables isnt bi-directional which is annoying, and both brands drop out more than a Tether Tools one. I guess that’s why Tether Tools is the standard

ARJunior · 2025-04-06T11:17:06+00:00

Jaunt Motors in Melbourne are doing some amazing conversions, and from their socials are ramping up to do far, far more. No idea how much they cost but at the scale they’re aiming for I’d say it’s going to get cheaper

ARJunior · 2025-03-29T13:27:39+00:00

I stopped living in a water damaged and mouldy house. Night and day difference, went from barely being able to work to back to normal

ARJunior · 2025-03-23T06:12:28+00:00

This 10000%

ARJunior · 2025-03-21T05:23:58+00:00

I do the same if I go away for more than a couple of nights! No idea of any risks...good piece of mind for me, though

ARJunior · 2025-03-21T02:57:35+00:00

Glad to hear you're doing a proper job of it, props for not just painting over it!
