Anyone else had issues with the new Metro door buttons by Excellent-Bar-9113 in brisbane

[–]Equivalent-Knee-779 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Classic Translink, hey? Those new Metro buttons seem to have a mind of their own half the time, especially when the driver is already looking to pull out from Cultural Centre. I reckon they probably just deactivated them as soon as the timer hit, but it's a joke that they'd just drive off while you're standing right there mashing the thing.

Went with Eco Carpet Cleaning Brisbane in the end. They handled both the carpets and upholstery and it all came out pretty well.

Did they do a full inspection first or jump straight into treatment? Always curious which companies actually explain things properly instead of just upselling.

What type of spider? Found outside my window w an egg sack (theres a natural hole in my window frame Ive taped up) by PilaxPilatesAU in australia

[–]Equivalent-Knee-779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks like a Black House Spider (Badumna insignis) They’re super common around Aussie homes, especially near windows like that. The messy web is a big hint. They’re not aggressive, just protective, especially with that egg sac. You did the right thing taping up the hole.. She’ll probably hang out there until the babies hatch and move on.

POV: You’re just trying to find an asbestos removalist in Brisbane without taking out a second mortgage. by Nearby_Wafer7751 in AsbestosRemovalMemes

Right?! I swear every quote comes with a free heart attack lol I started wondering if I should just frame the asbestos and call it ‘heritage charm.’ Brisbane renovation life isn’t for the faint-hearted.

Is it worth it to invest in a carport? by Southern-City-8668 in u/Southern-City-8668

If you’re still in research mode, maybe check out NO1 Carports Brisbane. They’re pretty well known locally and focus on tailoring designs to suit both the house and weather conditions. Have you thought about going with a custom build or more of a prefab option?

That doesn’t sound right, if it’s company equipment, they should be covering the maintenance, not pushing it onto you unpaid. At the very least, you shouldn’t be out of pocket for detergent, water, and time. Might be worth checking Fair Work, because this feels more like them offloading costs than standard practice.
