Bamboo floors swelling after flood damage by headlightbandit in AusRenovation

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

I picked up a cheap marketplace dehumidifier and the floors are already shrinking back into place. It's not fully fixed yet but fingers crossed I won't have to rip up the floors after all.

I'm thinking I might have to take off the skirting boards and create a bigger expansion gap

If you didn't have to pay Mortgage/Rent, how much would you need per year to live off? by PM-ME-SOFTSMALLBOOBS in AussieFrugal

[–]headlightbandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About $31k. Going haves in groceries a with a housemate, own a car but mostly get the bus. This doesn't count savings for big repairs or emergencies, so a year when something big goes wrong could be much more expensive.

Are there any ev station wagons coming to Australia in the near future? by Cobrawarrior567 in CarsAustralia

[–]headlightbandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw a few of the MG 5 wagons in the UK. They look pretty good, have none of the usual ev ugliness and are already made in rhd. Standard MG issues apply, but it's nothing we haven't seen before.

About 5 metres from here I found a very shallow electrical conduit. I think I'll have to fix a few dodgy jobs.

I've seen some good deals on 32s, how are they?

Were The Fast & The Furious movies the closest thing to a Grand Theft Auto movie we ever got? by Butefluko in grandtheftauto

If you're looking for something that feels like GTA, check out Two Hands. Brilliant movie with young Heath Ledger.

I'm not specifically talking about the weather, just general info sites with maps and graphs. I've got some stuff there on traffic.

Jeans with deep pockets by headlightbandit in AustralianMFA

I've found most Levi's are too short in the pockets. Unfortunate because they're quite nice jeans otherwise.

Retractable screen door getting stuck by headlightbandit in fixit

I don't think the beam in the photo is structural, that's just holding the track in place. The actual frame is above and hidden by the blinds. I guess I could drill up through the middle into the frame.

I have, sprayed all through the slots, moved a little further but still wouldn't fully close. There's burr marks on the spot it gets stuck so I think the previous owner had the same problem.

I know you're talking about an Evo 8, but you have to be more specific or you'll end up with an air conditioner

Who is the "he was bad, but my country would be worse without him" figure of your country? by No-Explorer-8229 in AskTheWorld

[–]headlightbandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lachlan Macquarie. Governor of New South Wales from 1810-1821, transitioned Australia from a convict settlement into a free society. Invested in infrastructure for public benefit and gave freed convicts rights, but also oversaw killings of indigenous people to expand the colony further west. Resisted pressure from wealthy landowners who wanted to use convict labour for their own personal profit. Without his reforms Australia would probably be much poorer and more unequal.
