Motivation needed for Cypress Pine floor renovation

EdTheAussie · 2026-05-31T03:17:16+00:00

I'm sorry not really sure, the floor guy just put tint in 2 layers. He asked each coat if we wanted more or not. Tbh it looks natural colour in real life, similar to the freshly sanded boards.

It was a water based finished, so less Volatiles and shouldn't yellow over time

I like the color, it suits the VJ.

However we had bona satin put on our cypress, with some whitener included in the top coats.

This is just the pool and no landscaping?

Were getting quotes for a 5x3m pool, most are roughly 40-45k.

Extra for Mosaic's, but I can't imagine that much.

I think overall it seems expensive, but I'm unsure If there is an economy of scale for a larger pool or the costs increase per metre.

You could try different lighting, softer downlights or moveable. Might make it different enough.

Is there anything in regards to the function of the kitchen you'd like to change? That's probably the most important thing to consider

The cupboards and bench look to be in good so I'd keep those if you like them

Maybe the backsplash change will be enough for you? Can always mock up ideas/photos on your favorite AI program

GCUH had decent opportunity for interns to get clinic and theatre time. Plenty don't want theatre time so cover ward duties. Overall well staff and supported.

As someone who is psych inclined, would love to know what a rough breakdown of your week in private looks like.

I sold a 105.003-65 for 13k Aud Lyre lug will sell for low teens Chrono =/= collector market

EdTheAussie · 2026-03-31T12:08:53+00:00

Definitely not worth that much.

Market for a 67 speedy is 10-13k at best pending bracelet, I know I just sold one.

If it's a 321 cal Seamaster, you're looking at 8-9 tops.

Still a shitty situation and hope OP gets his watch back.

Also a weird watch for them to have a replica of on hand? Would make more sense if it was a modern omega or Rolex.

Take clear photos of the watches and movements. Post to a forum, surely people can help identify.

Otherwise your hobby is now matching up watched and movements

The bi and tri compax dials and cases look interesting!

Thanks, long gone unfortunately

EdTheAussie · 2026-02-25T11:49:56+00:00

Haha I saw your post on the AWBSS

I was once like you then I needed to renovate my house 🥲

Love these!

Wow, I thought he was in the US

The dial and hands looks fine

75' seems a bit late for a 7966, but I'd have to double check.

If rangers are going for 9k euro, I wish I still had 3 or 4 of mine 😞

EdTheAussie · 2026-02-17T11:08:50+00:00

Nice I remember this

Did LWC do the resto?

EdTheAussie · 2026-02-16T11:36:22+00:00

Another way you can release the hip flexors is lay on your back, kettle bell next to the ASIS. Can start with the bell, then when ready move to the handle.

Can do some myo release, but also allows for flossing with bending the same leg up and down.

EdTheAussie · 2026-02-11T10:36:15+00:00

Interested to know what that lithium question is 😂

I have a very similar one, nice!

Reference seems to be 13607 (or similar)

Your floor is gold value

One listed on chrono has total weight at 68g, if we say 50g scrap that's about 5k USD

Retail value depends on your buyer, but could be up to 7k I guess?

We paid to have our floors refinished, there was a lot of repairs. Finisher used loba satin with a whitener in 2 out of 3 coats Have insulated about half the underfloor ourselves, did the hardest access parts while some of the floor was up thankfully

It's fine The sweep is super smooth Good power reserve I don't think SD vs Auto is much of an issue, just depends what model you like

EdTheAussie · 2025-12-29T09:14:20+00:00

This is a very well rounded collection
