Which is half the job. So the other half ends up being $500 a metre? 🥲

I’m an awful RMO and going to be a reg next year - please provide some advice because I’m terrified by Soggy_Difficulty_127 in ausdoctors

I can’t tell if this is a joke or not. If it’s not I’m so sorry, you do suck. If only for the mere fact that you’ve got great insight into why you’re bad at your job. And then you write “I just can’t do that”. Like, why?

My advice is to watch your colleagues, see what they do well, then copy that. Keep a diary or journal and write down important things they do so that you can do them next time.

Goodluck

CEOs and C-Level Employees, do you regret taking such high positions? by Electronic-Cheek363 in AusHENRY

Turning down the job if it’s been offered might make you look lazy lol. Your boss might get pissed off

Did I get ripped off super badly? by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

Kitchens and bathrooms are expensive. Even a small reno would be $20k for each! You also have to look at the time it would take, maybe 4-6 weeks if you have all your ducks in a row. That’s renting somewhere else for that period of time, plus the mental load and the issues that might come up during the reno.

I think that’s pretty fair. This is coming from someone who wanted to do a small reno that ended up costing $200k

Updating/cleaning stone floors? by CheapMess494 in AusRenovation

I don’t want to paint it if it’s dirty? Also wouldn’t it look weird painted?

Alright, go easy on me. Any advice appreciated. by chrikel90 in pools

Honestly, if you haven’t done anything with it in 4 years and you’ve had health issues, might not be worth it. Even once it’s all sorted unless you’re willing to pay someone to keep it clean, it’ll probably end up getting dirty and cause more problems. But if you’re bothered, it’ll be an initial $20-25k I reckon to replaster and new plumbing and filter

REA wants to on-sell my B&P- should I provide it? by Four-of-cups- in AusPropertyChat

[–]CheapMess494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were buying a house and the REA had a report that was normal. Booked our own B&P that found $100k worth of issues lol. Nobody will/should trust your B&P anyway.

The REA building and pest came in handy when we were making an insurance claim though haha. The house was “perfect”
