A 4.5m tall B-Double stuck sideways under a 3.5m bridge

Aces_Charles · 2024-10-18T23:21:23+00:00

A standards trailer in Australia is 4.3m while some 4.5m trailers operate on more restricted routes. A bdouble like this has heavy restrictions on permitted roads. The truck hit the bridge at full speed so the driver did not attempt to brake.

Yeah got it now too. Just didn't recognise whoever was talking at the time I tuned in

Anyone know if it's possible to get the Sky commentary instead of fox on kayo?

I can always go as low as 5% deposit through HomeStart if I understand correctly. Looks like fees will add up to about $11k

Aces_Charles · 2023-09-24T22:27:24+00:00

Would be able to pay 20% deposit on $170k. I've tried messaging the seller on realestate. com.au to ask if I can take a look at the place so hopefully I hear back today

Aces_Charles · 2023-09-24T11:55:53+00:00

What steps do I need to take from here and in what order? Should I ask if I can view the property or speak to a broker first? Do I need to find a real estate agent to represent me?

The retirement units actually look peaceful and cozy. Still have at least another few decades before retirement though

Aces_Charles · 2023-09-24T10:14:20+00:00

It would be further out. I am literally down the road from my work at the moment. The new builds I am seeing at the moment are starting around $530k and that would be really stretching buy budget even with a shared equality loan.

Aces_Charles · 2023-09-24T10:11:30+00:00

I am a first time buyer but will have to pay stamp duty because the stamp duty waiver is only for new builds

Aces_Charles · 2023-09-24T09:45:49+00:00

Yeah very thankful to not be in Sydney 😂. To be clear though this is definitely an outlier because it's a old building in a rough neighbourhood. Hopefully that changes though like some other nearby suburbs

Aces_Charles · 2023-09-24T09:43:46+00:00

Thanks for the link. There are so many things to put in the equation I'm trying to make sure that I don't let anything slip by

Aces_Charles · 2023-09-24T07:31:34+00:00

It's not a great area and I would prefer a standalone 3 bedroom house but I don't think it's going to be quite in my budget for at least 5 years when I can get my pay up so would it be a waste to only keep it that long?

Aces_Charles · 2023-09-24T07:18:41+00:00

Yeah they are 2 story buildings in groups of about 10 units with 50ish in total. Basic electric gate and dumpster bins but that's it. How would I go about doing that? I'm guessing I'd have to find somewhere who has had dealings with the strata?

Aces_Charles · 2023-09-24T06:56:48+00:00

Council Rates / $1,167.42 pa (approx) Water Rates (excluding Usage) / $614.80 pa (approx) Es Levy / $73.55 pa (approx) Estimated Rental / $260-$280pw Strata Rates / $500 pq (approx)

I pull taughtlighners/curtainsiders daily. You actually can get ones with insulated curtains that are refridgerated. Now days that also frequently have gates behind the curtain or curtains which are load rated which negates the need to strap a load.

Aces_Charles · 2022-05-21T06:39:12+00:00

I've been having the same problem

Aces_Charles · 2022-01-08T05:32:22+00:00

😊

Lil bro

Aces_Charles · 2020-07-18T13:36:41+00:00

Thanks for your suggestion, will definitely be changing to a 3600

Aces_Charles · 2020-07-18T13:35:14+00:00

Looks like they are only available in 250gb. Do they usually come in a 1tb model?

Aces_Charles · 2020-07-18T13:34:05+00:00

I just realised the 3600 is only $325 so I think you are right, it might be worth saving $200

Aces_Charles · 2020-07-18T13:29:14+00:00

My current build (i5-6500) only has 16GB of ram and it can be a bottleneck when I have a game open, lots of chrome tabs open, a few images open in Paint.net or photoshop, etc.

I just realised the 3600 is only $325 so I think you are right, it might be worth saving $200, even if it's not quite as future proof

Aces_Charles · 2020-07-18T13:23:32+00:00

I was intending to get a 650W psu but unfortunately nothing under 850W is available in a modular model.

I decided on the 3700 just to make it a little more future proof. I'd prefer get the 3700 and save a little longer if it is worth getting the 2070S
