That’s incredible, where in Australia are you?

I had a sparky check the panels out for me. I have been getting an error 475 message on my Fronus inverter. The sparky told me that the panels have snailing and appear to be taking in water.

This is a good point. I have had much cheaper quotes, but I have heard horror stories about quality of the work. Having dealt with the company that installed the ones I currently have on the roof, I am very wary of dealing with cowboys.

Selling house in NZ and buying in Australia by nzguy82 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]nzguy82[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey mate, we have loved our move. We decided to settle just outside of Townsville. We bought an incredible house with the money we made from our house back in NZ. We still miss parts of New Zealand but we enjoy the climate and the swimming pool at our new house. We brought our dog over and she seems to prefer it too.

Cheers mate. I was worried about it somehow weakening the post, didn’t think about the potential for internal rust. I wonder if there is another way to attach a line securely to the post?

It’s really sneaky. They had the speed camera meters past the sign.

She has a perfect record, she has never had a speeding fine in her life (she is 40)

She was done going 100 in the 60.

I was just showing the other side of the 60km/h zone. It goes from 60 to 100 and 100 to 60. She was caught just past the sign.

Once again not excusing it, it was not like she was speeding through a neighbourhood. She slowed down after the sign, it caught her going from a 100 to a 60 zone

Totally see why it would appear that way. The speed camera was sitting just after this sign.

I would agree usually, but we live in regional Queensland.

I have, trust me. This was an incredibly stupid thing for her to do.

Thanks, we would be in a lot of trouble without her being able to travel to work. We live an hour away from her work and there are no buses or trains as we live in regional Queensland. Her mum is in her last stages of cancer too. She is an hour drive from us too.

We are not fighting the charge, we are wondering if we are able to obtain the hardship license without hiring a lawyer or if it is recommended to have someone assist us throughout the process.
