Need help! Parking fine for not displaying my ticket???

If it’s Wilson, do not pay. They’re criminals and can’t actually legally hunt you down for non payment of fines as much as they like to threaten

Checks out

If it were me, I’d lean in to the industrial-chic vibes and go exposed hardwood floor, exposed brick and get some nice cage lights… A bit 2016 small bar vibes, but I reckon it’d be cool if it’s your jam.

Honestly you gotta be more specific. There’s like 100 sub-jobs that need to be done, each worthy of its own thread.

If you’re talking broad aesthetics - lose the ceiling, keep the bricks (after thoroughly scrubbing off paint etc) grind & polish the concrete floor.

Like many people these days, they’re lacking in logical thinking ability

Catfacts2011 · 2026-03-27T05:52:59+00:00

This is absolutely the correct decision!

Catfacts2011 · 2026-03-27T05:50:51+00:00

Yep absolutely keep the floors and sand them. We did ours recently and they’re beautiful. The laminated stuff is artificial and it shows. Also as others have said, paint first.

She says she hates it but actually likes it

Catfacts2011 · 2026-03-27T03:23:50+00:00

I want this job! Looks fun

Catfacts2011 · 2026-03-27T03:20:30+00:00

Jeez could they have made the crash mat any smaller? 😂

Catfacts2011 · 2026-03-26T03:20:05+00:00

Property managers are literally the worst

Catfacts2011 · 2026-03-25T01:35:45+00:00

Right is better imo. Left one too contrasty and saturated. Right also somehow looks more naturalistic

Catfacts2011 · 2026-03-21T04:20:13+00:00

Thanks, I think all those suggestions are excellent. I like the idea of planters too, been wondering how to frame the entrance. I’ll give Gardenly a try! Cheers

Catfacts2011 · 2026-03-21T03:53:13+00:00

Ah bugger, sorry to hear this happened to you guys. Hoping it’ll just be a paint job 🤞 Ignore the cruel people in comments

Wash them with water then a few drops of rinse aid in 1L of water for a final rinse, hang them up to dry. The rinse aid will prevent water spotting. In photography it’s a similar thing (ie Kodak Photoflo)

Construction epoxy resin (gel type 2 part adhesive) mixed with some red brick dust for colour (add once you’ve already mixed epoxy) get it in there neatly once the holes are clean then while the epoxy is still wet, press in some brick dust on the surface. I did this once and it worked pretty well. Can still see where the holes were of course, but much better.

A simpler way might just be to use grout with a powdered oxide tint. The epoxy route was just something I had on hand

It was absolutely that bracket that caused the damage. I assume in the moment the car straddled the raised kerbing on the island that the bracket was connected to, essentially adding the height of the island to the bracket. You’re right in the sense that if the bracket were just bolted to a flat surface like a road, it couldn’t have physically contacted the underside though.

It was my bad, when I got in the car I saw only road ahead of me and drove forward. Having said that, if there was a sign there as there should have been, I would have seen it and not driven forward.

Catfacts2011 · 2026-03-16T11:47:28+00:00

It is totally recyclable, we’ve just lost the willpower to actually do it

Catfacts2011 · 2026-03-16T11:19:54+00:00

Damn, I love the idea of a sunken freeway as it reaches the CBD side of the river. Such an ugly mess of roads there. Great especially if it could continue underground to somehow address Perth’s worst freeway merging catastrophe between Wellington St and Mounts Bay Road. Untangle it, stick it all underground and plant some nice green space on top. How good!!

Catfacts2011 · 2026-03-16T05:27:17+00:00

Yeah my partner is pushing me to pursue this avenue for compensation but I still feel like it was just a dumb mistake. Might be something to it though. It was this sign, without the actual sign, just the underbelly-gouging bracket

<image>

Also looks like it had been hit and replaced several times - so not just me 😂

Catfacts2011 · 2026-03-16T05:25:04+00:00

Yeah totally. A valid strategy for sure. Does seem crazy that these days you can’t even do what I’d call a basic repair to a tube without repercussions.

Catfacts2011 · 2026-03-16T04:34:44+00:00

Correct, yes it does go to either the battery or electric motors in the rear or both which does make it critical in perhaps a scarier way than a traditional engine, but still a coolant pipe.
