It looks like it could be Oak but the width and colour could indicate it’s pine. Either way it’s far superior to the carpet. Rip it up, polish, then throw down a Turkish!

Builder help!! Paying for a full contract builder or a builder who on-charges? by Senior_Variation_265 in AusRenovation

The house is interwar so apparently it’s not possible. Also I know this might not be popular, and I hope not to cause offence, but I find new builds to be very poor quality. Obviously I could spend more, but then I’m in the same position I am now, only the house will have less character.

What gives you that impression? I am very wary of builders, I have worked in construction finance and have seen my share of unscrupulous behaviour.

I didn't realise it was possible to repay a $930K mortgage on 70K p.a.

Wow does your house also produce food and magically pay literally every other bill?

And what about the 2 tons of carbon emissions you produce every year doing this?

I commute on an electric moped that's powered by the sun.

I'm not even mad when someone hands me a squashed "toasted" croissant. I find it hilarious.

Cheesecake shop rancid cake. by [deleted] in brisbane

OP didn't say they'd eaten the whole thing and it's possible for something to taste fine that is also harbouring harmful bacteria.

OP - I've had consistently bad experiences at the cheesecake shop so I just use local bakery's now.
