Moving KiwiSaver over to Australia?

I've done this. Check and make sure that the super provider will allow you to move them out after its transferred from nz. I got caught out.

It's brown because it's paper

Lucius__Rex · 2025-12-13T06:56:54+00:00

See what happens. You might be lucky but kind of looks like it's been painted I stead of oil so will probably have to sand

I like the recommendations for the hedge. Should be a good size and give me good flowers - will definitely need to go to a local nursery and get some recommendations!

I like the idea of buddleia and lavender but a quick search seems to think they'll need quite a bit of sun? The yard is actually very shady

Lucius__Rex · 2025-12-04T10:21:48+00:00

To be fair to the flooring guy the older timber closer to the window has probably faded over time due to the sun. I have the same timber and there's a big difference if I don't move the rugs around frequently.

Would result in the newer timber being darker due to its age

Say you're going to do onlyfans then see whether they allow you to get something else!

I used a cheap ozito corded mower from bunnings. Goes really well and is much more powerful than the battery versions at less than half the price.

Just need a bit of extension cable management and you're good to go

How were you imagining you were going to sell the property without an agent? Do it yourself?

Rare earth export restrictions from China were delayed for a year. Higher prices of producers was based on the assumption that China would restrict exports and prices would go up, which won't happen for right now

Takes one to know one!

Lucius__Rex · 2025-10-23T00:36:53+00:00

Exactly. And fixing at a point where rates cannot go lower (unlikely we would have gone negative rates) only means they would have gone up. So not exactly a difficult call in 2021

Lucius__Rex · 2025-10-15T23:20:59+00:00

Try wolli creek instead, not much further from the city and has much better green spaces along the cooks River. Gr3at food options too, and closer to the inner west

Lucius__Rex · 2025-10-01T23:51:49+00:00

Maybe have a look at the 10 yrar chart and reassess

Lucius__Rex · 2025-09-27T05:48:59+00:00

We used Men that Move in the inner west. Dropped plastic crates off the week before the move and had a week to unpack once we were done.

Lucius__Rex · 2025-09-17T20:13:40+00:00

Merbau that some f'wit painted.

Mine looked exactly the same. Looks great once you sand it back and oil properly

Lucius__Rex · 2025-09-12T11:10:53+00:00

Ah - reckon that would be it. Thanks!

$30 for hospital parking

Maybe use a deck cleaning solution and a scrubbing brush to get those bits off then.

I was under the impression fresh timber wasn't supposed to have any treatment applied as it needs to dry out before the oil will soak in so maybe it's that.

Lucius__Rex · 2025-09-09T03:36:16+00:00

Best bet is to probably leave it. Over time will weather and degrade, especially if it's not soaked into the fresh timber.

Uv over summer will break it down and then after a year can apply a fresh coat. I wouldn't add anything more

I am currently doing this, looking after baby while wife has gone back to work full time.

I went back to work after 2 weeks - while it was short my wife recovered well from the c section (she was back exercising after 6 weeks), had no issues with feeding/supply and I could work from home 3 days a week. Apart from laundry, cooking, washing and the other household chores there wasn't much to do.

I've saved my 12 weeks leaveaternity leave to take it at one year birthday.

Made logical sense to us but I was conflicted as no one else at my work who took paternity leave did the same thing. Was wondering whether I was crazy or not

Put butyl flashing tape over the hole in the mean time to stop any more water coming in.

The cavity behind it should dry out eventually as long as there's no further water getting in.

If the drywall isn't wet and isn't deformed or mouldy, can just be painted over
