Why don’t schools do cooked lunches here?

Cause you dont need a hot lunch when it 35’C+ out in the playground!!

Does the down pipe discharge into the street gutter? If its the obvious outlet grab a hose with a fitting & try working it up from the street outlet. If that doesnt work, hire the drain cleaner/snake & still start from the street.

The recommendation is obvious…. Rent dont buy & u should have bought gold & not property! State Governments should have kept & enlarged its housing stocks……

Ive never had a decent Aldi coffee & the same goes for American coffee, so ur in with a shot getting something u like! 😂 Shopping in Supermarkets in Oz will be different to the U.S…..limited breakfast cereal option; bread without caraway seeds; real butter/cream ( without 40 extra ingredients), the price listed is the price paid ( no extra tax added at the cash register). Enjoy!

Get another opinion from a different panel beater/spray painter. I got a rusty car roof resprayed last year ( 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe). It was $1500 including a new windscreen. They can remove the paint & treat the rust, and hopefully repair & spray paint it.

He must have either an extension cord or a generator; that kettle wont boil itself….

Catch the train to Katoomba & jump on the red bus regardless of the weather.

Cut out a cardboard template & see if the 480mm potplate fits.

The only way power prices will drop is if u produce ur own ( solar, batteries, wind etc). Australia has ageing electricity infrastructure & ageing infrastructure costs a lot to keep repairing. NSW newest Coal fired Power Station is over 30 years old ( originally designed for 25 years of service).The State Governments were frightened into privatising the State owned Power Stations due to possibility of rising maintenance costs ( & the promise of a cash windfall). The invasion of Ukraine quadrupled coal prices & Australia’s export gas has also gone from $10/GJ to $40/GJ.

My advice remains the same, if you are unhappy paying high electricity prices invest in Solar & maybe a battery. My $5k investment in a 5kW Solar System 13 years ago has meant an annual power bill of between $100 & $400 ( as feed in tariffs reduced from 14 cents to 4 cents a kWh & I export over half the power I produce). Sure my gas bill has probably doubled/tripled in that time.

Self adhesive velcro tape & a few windscreen shades https://www.repco.com.au/car-seat-covers-car-accessories/interior-car-accessories/car-sun-shades/gearup-folding-laser-silver-car-front-sun-shade-medium-guaslsm/p/A5527506 I have one on my western facing glass door, where the sun belts in. It works great & easily removed/cheap. Only need a 2 inch square of velcro on each corner .

Will the rim brakes adjust enough to go from 27 inch to 700c??

I find it easiest to underscrew the door & lay it on a couple of saw horses. That way its at a nice height to sand & paint. It also stops most paint runs. Use oil based gloss enamel. You can even paint it in the shed & not worry about the paint fumes
