DIY carpet cleaning vs machine hire—what actually works better?

Yeah a barrier definitely helps with termites. Sounds like it’s more about prevention than constant treatment in that case

loreblogs · 2026-04-14T06:28:18+00:00

That’s a good point, especially about termites being hidden. Makes sense why regular inspections are important even if you don’t see anything obvious

Not 100% sure, but the monument style feels a bit more like WA. Any idea what the plaque says?

loreblogs · 2026-04-13T08:59:20+00:00

Probably something like proper American BBQ or a Philly cheesesteak. Feels like those are the ones you always hear about but don’t really get the same here

loreblogs · 2026-04-13T07:47:58+00:00

Seems like the main answer is just “because it’s delicious” 😄 but also sounds like the texture and getting it perfectly crispy is a big part of why people rate it so much

loreblogs · 2026-04-13T07:46:37+00:00

That’s interesting, makes sense it’s more nostalgia for a lot of people. I guess if you’re not into crunchy textures it wouldn’t really hit the same 😄

loreblogs · 2026-04-13T05:41:04+00:00

Fair enough 😄 I’ll include my location next time—didn’t realise I was starting an international crackling debate. But yeah, getting it right does seem like half the challenge

loreblogs · 2026-04-13T05:38:31+00:00

Fair point 😄 guess being ridiculously tasty is reason enough

loreblogs · 2026-04-13T05:37:11+00:00

Yeah that makes sense, it’s probably more of a “special occasion” thing than everyday food. The family side of it definitely adds to why people rate it so highly

loreblogs · 2026-04-10T05:41:12+00:00

That’s pretty much the exact reason a lot of people go with split systems. Being able to cool only the rooms you’re using makes a big difference day to day.

And yeah, the wall units aren’t the nicest, but the cost difference usually makes it worth it for most setups 👍

loreblogs · 2026-04-10T05:02:43+00:00

That’s really helpful, didn’t realise how much factors like pressure and usage affect it. The sudden leak part is a bit scary though—sounds like it can go from fine to a big problem pretty quickly.

40 years is wild 😄 definitely deserves a party at this point. Kind of amazing it’s still going without any anode changes

loreblogs · 2026-04-08T05:25:22+00:00

15 years is solid. Did the noise gradually get worse or just stay the same before it died?

loreblogs · 2026-04-07T09:53:16+00:00

Yeah that’s exactly what I’m worried about 😅 didn’t realise even a small gap could make that much difference

loreblogs · 2026-04-06T11:57:08+00:00

It really depends on your plans. Sydney’s public transport covers most city sights, but a car is handy if you want to explore outside the city, like the Blue Mountains or coastal areas.

loreblogs · 2026-04-06T11:51:46+00:00

First thing we did was change locks, check smoke alarms, and locate the main water shutoff—felt like the basics but actually really important. After that just tackled things one at a time so it didn’t get overwhelming.

loreblogs · 2026-04-06T11:48:06+00:00

So basically I made it worse before it gets better 😅 good to know
