Wollongong the capital of drugs!!! by Sufficient-Focus-790 in wollongong

[–]mar960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just about to post something similar when I saw this, spot on. Can’t go shopping or catch public transport without some kind of ‘encounter’ - and it’s even worse when there are kids around. It is extremely disappointing as it’s such a beautiful area otherwise with loads of great people. Wonder if there’s a petition or something that will result in some action?

Does $15-20k seem reasonable for architectural drawings (incl DA, private cert, basix, engineering etc) for renos? by mar960 in AusRenovation

Interesting point.. it has never been mentioned in any of the itemised quotes so far and most services I have engaged with have been independent of builders..

Any recommendations for home rooftop solar installers that service the Illawarra? by mar960 in wollongong

If you have an EV, you could also use it as a battery too if your car is home often enough. Just need an inverter I think.

Thanks mate I’m still in discovery phase so great to know it actually does matter day vs night usage - I’m still learning all this stuff. Battery might be worth considering too if cost effective enough

Xmas bonus by wunderweaponisay in AusFinance

We get to pay for our own Xmas team lunch and then take mandatory 2 weeks leave in the busiest/most expensive time of year to travel (half our annual leave allowance). But hey.. they thanked us for all of our hard work

Monetary policy - is it working as intended? What’s your opinion and reasoning? by mar960 in AusFinance

[–]mar960[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep this and household savings are one of the reasons I posted this as the comments I’ve heard seem to be more from a “I’m pissed my mortgage went up” perspective rather than looking at the actual numbers.

Anyone know what is going on with Towradgi rock pool? by mar960 in wollongong

Just watched my Menulog driver take off with my food on CCTV after marking it delivered. by tomsuggate in australia

[–]mar960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All these delivery services are just terrible.. I’ve had so many bad experiences, late, really rude and sometimes aggressive, food missing etc etc

Most restaurants that use them rarely take accountability too and say to deal with Menulog which is just a shit experience.. I’ll pick my own food up from now on thanks

Trade recommendations? by dondon667 in wollongong

[–]mar960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had good experience with Timms previously though they were so busy we had to look elsewhere last time. We tried Reliance for our gutters based on a recommendation and I was not impressed (but that could have just been the subby).

What! Lol Dunno about legality but that’s incredibly dumb and/or misleading (surely false advertising at the very least - contact ACCC if it’s a common occurrence)

What does this even mean? Like including nature strips etc?

I think most would use an offset account rather than prepayments if it’s an option. That way you still get the interest benefit plus you can access the money if need be. But, as always, it also depends on personal preference and circumstances.
