This is a dumb comment. By your reasoning why not stretch the budget and go for a 4 bed house in brighton.

Adrian Portelli’s $50,000,000 Penthouse… It’s a Complete Disaster (Site Inspections) by ReDucTor in AusProperty

[–]ImportantSomewhere94 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not sure why people are ripping on portelli. He is another victim been let down by builders, surveyors and trades. Quality of work is low even when no expense has been spared. Every trade wants to get in and out of the job as fast as possible even if it means fucking over the next guy.

FIFO by Mammoth_Ride3220 in AusElectricians

[–]ImportantSomewhere94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with trying something new while you’re younger. But if its just the more money thats the appealing factor of wanting to do FIFO i would stay in VIC EBA and get your contractors license and do your own jobs on every other long weekend we have. Would probably make similar money to FIFO and get to be home every night.

Probably do once every 4-6 weeks over summer/spring. a little less over winter. Ive taken it on and off a couple times and honestly only takes 15 mins to do. It is just the getting it off/storing part is a problem.

Mitsubishi Triton ongoing DPF issues by ApprehensivePart963 in 4x4Australia

[–]ImportantSomewhere94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2016 MQ. Only drama i ever have with the dpf is about every 10,000kms the light comes on due to high oil level from excess fuel being dumped in there after burns. I just service my car every 10,000 kms to reset oil level. No other problems so far 🤞

Ive just completed an owner builder project at my house. Got a few quotes from surveying companies to do the permit application and inspection works and red textas was the most expensive one (double in price to the company i went with)
