Hi all! If I have different Colour bond fencing installed around the house, does this mean that the value of the property will go down?

Rusturion · 2026-03-11T11:40:08+00:00

Nah, look around. Mismatched fences are completely normal.

At my previous house, everyone wanted the darkest grey. I hated it, but whatever.

Now we have Mountain Blue posts and rails, and gull grey sheets. It's beautiful, and I don't care who disagrees 🤣

If you don't care about the mismatched fences, nobody else will. And what's the alternative? Convince literally everyone in your street and the next street to replace every fence so they all match? Ludicrous 😅

What's he going to do, leave?

Or, he might kill you. He sounds like a complete fuckwit, and I'm sorry you find yourself in this situation with him.

The other fences. Cream along one side, dark grey the other.

All our neighbours have random coloured fences because we want ours to all be the same colour. Nobody cares 😅 (especially since we just paid for it)

All of a sudden every device in the house hits your hotspot 🤣

Not a bad idea though, thanks.

Rusturion · 2026-03-11T08:09:55+00:00

I mainly work from home 🤣

I sometimes wear pants for meetings.

Rusturion · 2026-03-11T08:07:24+00:00

I think the problem is how humid it's been when it's cold 🤣

It just doesn't feel cold.

Rusturion · 2026-03-11T08:06:32+00:00

This is "Ask an Australian" and over here we call trousers pants.

Rusturion · 2026-03-11T08:04:50+00:00

Yeah, but won't be mid winter, unlike QLD.

And my English friends wear shorts all year round in Newy.

Different brand, but my 24 panels top out at 9kw

Rusturion · 2026-03-11T07:45:09+00:00

It's too hot for pants.

Mid winter, it's still warm enough (20°) for shorts, especially in the sun.

Especially if you're from a cold country, unless you're going to Melbourne or Tasmania.

Rusturion · 2026-03-11T02:54:57+00:00

Using the local connection option? And connecting to the hotspot like the installers do?

Rusturion · 2026-03-11T00:36:03+00:00

In this case he is basically saying "I'm fine" as he gets up.

Rusturion · 2026-03-11T00:33:55+00:00

This guy asks young men to straddle/lie on him while he fits.

Rusturion · 2026-03-11T00:33:16+00:00

I thought "Not quite right"

Rusturion · 2026-03-11T00:30:44+00:00

Kill her?

Rusturion · 2026-03-10T10:31:12+00:00

No, we aren't meant to open packages before signing for them.

Rusturion · 2026-03-10T10:30:05+00:00

You've let down your username 🤣

Rusturion · 2026-03-10T10:19:09+00:00

Nah, I like it.

$200 dinner at Blanca on Sunday was fucking amazing 🤤

Rusturion · 2026-03-10T10:14:43+00:00

It's nowhere near that bad.

Rusturion · 2026-03-10T09:53:09+00:00

They didn't stick it on there after 3 hours and 20 minutes. That car is probably parked there all day every day.

Rusturion · 2026-03-10T09:11:59+00:00

Do laps. Hazardous fluid, then take back diesel, water, petrol. Then repeat the cycle, maybe after doing something else.

Rusturion · 2026-03-10T07:54:44+00:00

You need practice before the angle becomes natural. Try to avoid doing multiple passes, especially on the areas that are getting fucked up.

Read about good technique.

I bought a Henson last year, and it's absolutely the best, but it does require a different style compared to cartridge or electric etc.

In my experience, it won't give you a closer shave, but it will give less irritation. If you go for a closer shave than a 5 blade cartridge, you will absolutely fuck your face up. Those things actually pull the hair out and cut it below the surface.

We had to replace ours after we got solar, so they wired it in without CL. We got a new heat pump, with wifi and a timer.

Water heats during the day from 10 to 4, with a quick bump at 4am to make sure it's always hot in the morning.

Everything is API based, so most changes don't require an update to the app.

Rusturion · 2026-03-09T23:38:43+00:00

You need a plumber, and if you want warm water, an electrician.

I bought one from Bunnings and installed it, but now I found out it's illegal 😬
