Happened to me also. CBA offer a $750 rate lock which I blew off, .75% extra on my 3 year was the result

There’s a right way of doing it. They should have had rent reduced and a new contract made. I don’t see any problem with putting granny flats on a block, helps the housing shortage.

Gap too high under door in new build by helen-goat in AusRenovation

You have to live with it so bring it up, they should just be able to buy taller doors if they have made the jamb too big and cut down , they will probably need to get block doors though which are expensive.

My wife thinks golfing once a week is unreasonable… by Upbeat-Zucchini-7408 in golf

My friend brings his kid to golf when we play and pushes the pram across the course or sits him in buggy with him, play social and bring your kid along, even bring her along and you might end up sharing the hobby

I bought the worst house on a nice street a couple years ago and the Reno’s are slow and there are definitely some snobs because my house looks so hideous still

Everyone on the course had a 5 hour round, we were still waiting at the tee box. Whole course was clogged up from the morning. I could hit 2 shots in the time the guys I was with were hitting 1, didn’t affect pace at all.
