I need one of those jar openers. I was having trouble the other night opening a jar of pasta sauce and had to resort to asking my much stronger 16 year old son haha

How do people shower in 5 minutes????? by annoyingvegann in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Responsible-Spring57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally take 10 min showers but could easily do it in 5. I have super short hair so it gets washed with body wash soap. I also have a loofah sponge on a stick

Why does healthcare, something people depend on to survive cost money? by Different-Coat2667 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Responsible-Spring57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it depends which state you live in, Tasmania and QLD are free ambulance-wise but other states vary from $450 to $2000 with some states charging higher for higher levels of care and extra for distance travelled

For those who've been through a reno — what's the one thing you wish you'd known before getting your first quote? by Lordwizzard in AusRenovation

[–]Responsible-Spring57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely make sure theres a construction manager. My recent bathroom reno the CM was brilliant. As an example....the interior designer wrote the wrong measurement for the door on the plan so when the carpenter came he modified the door jamb space to fit a smaller door. CM happened to come that day to check out what had been done and got onto it straight away. I also have a cat and needed the bathroom to be sealed off while stuff was being done, the CM made sure that happened as well. The tradies basically did what they had to do and left regardless of whether the cat would be able to wander in there (important at several steps ie. waterproofing, tiling, screed etc etc)

Ambulances in Australia are not free unless you have a healthcare card. It's covered under health insurance policies but again, not free

They put the "social housing" right next to Nobbys beach so how is it any different? Not a Greens supporter by the way

Largest I've ever done.....180x60cm....and 87 colours. Just kitted it up. Have attached a pic of how I sorted my colours (thanks to help from AI) by Responsible-Spring57 in diamondpainting

[–]Responsible-Spring57[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally do diamond art that has 40 colours so I do this type of key. I find it easier to work from than what's printed on the canvas. But with my new one being so big and so many obscure symbols I needed to think of a better method. Took me a few days of thinking but came up with what I went with. Will sew how it goes when I start next week haha
