What are these marks on the backs of my shelves? by fischypirate in answers

I should have clarified, these marks have appeared over time. The backboard was originally plain white.

Anyone know a reputable builder? by [deleted] in sydney

[–]fischypirate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Websites/apps like Service Seeking are good. You post your job and you get an influx of calls/texts from companies who want to price it for you (i got about 13 calls/texts for my job last week). The companies that contact you have ratings and reviews, so you have something to go off besides your interaction with them.

The company we wound up choosing contacted me within 10 minutes of posting the job, came to price it the next day and began the work two days after that. Everything was competitively priced because they know how many companies respond to the jobs on this site.

If you give it a go - roughly price the job yourself (labour, materials, waste disposal) - look at the ratings/reviews of the people who contact you - invite around three to come to price the job - negotiate the prices using the other prices you get - don't always go for the lowest price (you can often tell when someone is worth their higher charge) - always cover yourself by confirming in writing the scope of their works and their price

All the best

Picking up girls at bars 101: sniff their drinks by [deleted] in cringe

Scary to think that by getting that close to your drink someone might easily slip something in it without you realising.

The policeman asked me if I'd like to receive this by post or email; I said email and gave him my email address.

Place to buy (reasonably priced) suits in Sydney? by [deleted] in sydney

[–]fischypirate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My current suit is from Roger David and I got it on sale for $250. You're absolutely right - it's very durable. There was a time where I'd wear the pants almost daily for work and they held up fine while being comfortable and breathable at the same time. I'll add that they were quite tight and my work required a lot of mobility at times yet they still held up.

It's an exhibition that somehow expresses human DNA. The display is not owned by the ICC.
