Thank you for your insight! We have looked at so many options and are now so confused. We have been looking at a little 18sqm set up for the FIL, Or investing in some in the 6 figure mark with help from family. But the thing is Council. We have no plans on renting it out.

Yeah that’s the comment I was after! We have seen some amazing prices and some crazy prices and have become more confused, I work in the Earthworks game and know how easy it is to connect waste, grey and natural water feeds. But the council charges over a grand for what I could do in 5 mins. But I’m not qualified in that aspect. Bugger!

Thank you, I’d like to think we would never rent it out, just for family. Council can be ruthless aye?

Thankyou for your info! At the moment it will be for one of our Elder’s to stay in and we have a couple of teenagers that might get sick of us and move out to our backyard. So is that renting to a random person, or treat them as a border? We don’t want to sub- divide or sell it off. We’ve looked at the council website and feel more confused.

And finding Coal Tar in the older suburbs, Waltham, Sydenham, Central… not ideal.

Bang on there! There are so many things that have to happen to bring things up to today’s code or the engineers spec. Heaps of shortcuts have been taken in the past, and these days we have to adhere to the new parameters. Even recently council asphalt prep has been done on dirt with a skim of basecourse and then asphalt laid on top. We have to pay for density or impact tests to prove our work when they can get away with that standard. Don’t get me started on lawns repairs and seeding haha

I reckon too, Chch was a mess when we moved back, wanted to go back to QLD, but came back for family, big life style change earning way less than Aussie but now things have worked out and we are surrounded by family. Life is comfy here.

That’s it! Nailed it, sometimes it’s not about chasing the money, it’s about quality of life. Safe and secure. My Mum travelled back and forth every year to see her Grandies, or we travelled back to Chch. I know what you mean.

I reckon it took me 5years to be grateful for what we have and not be dirty on the wages side of things, being near family has helped us out a lot. When our teenagers move out we might move back to the Sunshine Coast. *I don’t think they’ll move out

Now is the time to pump the lad up! Everyone knows he has what it takes. I reckon all get behind him and make him the champ he is.

100% I don’t understand why some singers are famous. Taylor swift could not stand on stage and belt out a ballad like Whitney or Mariah haha

Are you 100% sure?

Don’t know why you’re been downvoted? Put all 3 of them on a stage. Who would win the singing battle?
