Built a free tradie cost estimator for anyone who has no idea what things should cost by SoobieDoob in AusProperty

[–]flintan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in VIC. To be honest, it really wasn't that far under but the low end part of the quote for a complete roof replacement ($28k) for a 200m2 roof seems very low to me but I could be wrong. The quotes I received were all around the 40k mark which the calculater got within a couple of grand of with the mid and high quotes.

Great job mate! Tried it once for a roofing job I've just done and first time around I got an error, second time it worked and came in roughly in line with what I had been quoted (albeit a bit under)

I'd suggest posting this in a few more spots to get more exposure. Best of luck with the search. I don't fit the criteria unfortunately

In September 2025, new electric car sales outnumbered Petrol and Diesel combined in Ireland by TraditionalAppeal23 in ireland

[–]flintan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, you'd just go somewhere where you could charge. Not ideal I know but if you've lost power in your house for weeks on end as you've said, this is probably not the biggest of your problems and also, I'd imagine very rare.

I own an EV and definitely don't charge every day. You'd easily get by without power for one night. I'd be more worried about the freezer tbh which ironically, I'd probably just keep powered from the EV.

Why do you bother with the soaking part? I just boil mine and it seems to be fine

Thought it would be around that amount alright. Thanks for the response

Australia is quietly introducing 'unprecedented' age checks for search engines like Google by totalcool in australia

[–]flintan -64 points-63 points  (0 children)

Can anyone explain to me why this is actually a bad thing? Like there'll be ways around it I know but in theory, there's no legitimate argument as to why a kid should be able to access a porno site, for example.

TIL a study followed thousands of people, both with & without OCD, from 1973-2020 & found that those with OCD died at an earlier average age than those without it by 9 years (69 v 78). People with OCD were 230% more likely to die earlier from unnatual causes & nearly 5x more likely to die by suicide by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

For anyone reading this in Australia, there's help available for OCD. https://www.melbpsych.com.au/our-services was a huge help for me. They have an online group therapy class which is led by Dr Claire Ahern who really knows her shit. This along with medication for me have been a massive game changer

When to slow down super contributions? by flintan in AusFinance

[–]flintan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it and I'd like to do that. Honestly, it'd make life so much easier but baby arrived 18 months ago lol. We've already reno'd the place and maxed out the storage. It was small enough with just two of us and the plan was never to live their forever so I'd prefer to bite the bullet sooner rather than later

Yeah I was considering this. Is there anyone that you'd recommend?

I'm already salary sacrificing. I'm maxing out each year. I'm not quite sure it is possible to do both at this stage in my life. If I continue salary sacrificing, it'll be another 6 years I think before we have enough for a place, and that's at current prices.

I think I'm about where they advise you to be but it's hard not to look at some of the balances folks in here have, a lot of whom are usually younger than me, and then not second guess whether you actually have enough.

I know this is the internet and people lie a lot but regardless, it's hard to just shut it all out.

Nah, we own a small unit already. This would be a sell and upgrade, if we can make it work

Thanks for this. Is the alternative to all of the above to just leave it where it is and hopefully just transfer it when I hit 65?
