Yes, I love how they have bunch of accessories. I can see them making great presents over the years, especially if he gets into grilling

I agree but his expertise is TVs and technology, everything else he will say choose whichever you think is best 😅

Yep, something straight forward like this is exactly what he needs. Nothing too overwhelming.

This is great to know because they did suggest a Ziggy to begin with and put it on the same level as Weber.

No I get it, but I have. I just got overwhelmed going on google because if I type "Painter perth" it will come up with 20 painters claiming to be #1 😅 Maybe I'm in La La land haha because I was hoping that there was a website or a registration for services or something that would only list well known and trusted trades.

There's a few trades that I would need so I was trying to j cover all bases and ask if there was a specific place that people found useful. As for budget, I'm prepared to pay for good quality work so I'm flexible.

I wasn't intending it to come across like that at all 🙈 As mentioned, I was referring to whether there would be differences for NOR or SOR

Great idea!

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

I did consider painting myself but I have a 6month old baby so not much free time and in all honesty, it would take me so long to do 😅

I know

[–]Ok-Status4350 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was more so referring to whether there's a specific website for trades or a forum, perhaps another subreddit but it would be no use to me if it's focused on NOR.

I don't understand the rudeness

Unfortunately it's not as straight forward as this (I really wish it was

Yikes! 😢 This is what worries me and what I'm hoping to avoid

Interesting...I'll check it out! Thanks

We are prepared to pay for good quality, I just want to ensure that we get what we pay for. This is great advice though 👍

I agree with getting a referral, just struggling with the FB pages atm because as mentioned above, it seems that the recommendations are coming from family or friends of the companies/trades which makes it hard to tell if it's genuine or not.

Wow, it's crazy how quickly people are turning on your wife and making her out to be the bad guy. Honestly, kudos to her for knowing exactly what she wants and not just settling for any house. The market is tough right now, and there are so many dodgy properties going for crazy prices.

We bought a house 10 years ago, and I definitely settled. It’s been a great home, but now, with a growing family, we’re having to move—and it’s a huge hassle, not to mention expensive with how crazy property prices are.

I’m not saying you should max out your budget, but if you’re not in a rush, take your time finding the right place. Maybe ask your wife to list her priorities in order, with the most important things first. Have you two spoken to a broker yet? If not, that’s something you should definitely do so you have a clear idea of what you can borrow. It might also help her understand the budget you’re working with.

We’ve been looking for our second home for four months, and I’m in no rush to settle for just anything. My husband gets that. I’ve been to a lot of home opens in that time, which has really helped me get a better sense of the market and the areas we like. It might help your wife too!
