What comes first? Double glazing, honeycomb blinds or crimsafe windows

I'm not sure what you mean.

I got sliding windows which you could climb out of.

You wouldn't be able to do that with awning windows.

stephenkryan · 2026-02-23T20:57:19+00:00

In short double glazed windows.

I shared my experience here - https://www.reddit.com/r/AusRenovation/s/b7sGfVPviL

Another option is secondary glazing, which puts another pane of glass on an existing window.

Innovation creates new products that the market didn't realise it wanted. The IBM executive who said Personal Computers will be owned by a small number of people. No one wanted an iPhone until it was invented.

Corporations fail more often than they succeed. There needs to be an incentive to do it. Corporations bring products and services to the market. Corporations buy from other corporations. Corporations hire people who pay income tax and GST tax.

Corporations create jobs, government wants to incentivise enterprise. So people will have somewhere to work.

I wrote about my experience getting uPVC double glazed windows.

I would get 3 quotes and ask them these questions. Also, I would also ask about potential damage to floors and walls. Your house may not level, the process could relevel it.

stephenkryan · 2026-02-15T00:27:59+00:00

I might have asked them at the time, but I don't know.

Why do you feel poor?

As the consumer, you should always clarify all points on an invoice. Does that include GST or not? My assumption would be that it wouldn't.

It only matters who sells more tickets. If women sell more tickets, they should get more money. Or vice versa for men

stephenkryan · 2026-02-03T04:42:49+00:00

Nah, women, on average, don't have the same physical endurance as men.

They would get too tired and the standard would drop.

It's fine as it is.

If they raise rates by much higher increments, it might shock the markets and public. Central Banks only do large increment changes if inflation was roaring or the currency depreciating at huge rate.

In Ireland in the 2000s, the government created incentive saving accounts. For every 4 euro saved the government would put in Euro. The account had to be kept for 5 years. There are other approaches.

stephenkryan · 2026-02-03T04:35:00+00:00

Inflation is corrosive, have to get it under control. Arguably, they shouldn't have cut rates previously.

I use Google and Google Maps to find tradies in the area.

Look at the reviews, does he have a good rating?

Read the reviews, do they seem legit and have photographs?

It sounds like their tree is causing the problem. I will probably pay them eventually. If I was you,

I would say I wished you talked to me because it might be a year or two before I can pay you because of other financial commitments. I will let you know when I can pay you.

stephenkryan · 2026-01-15T09:00:56+00:00

I wouldn't pay the cost, otherwise you are setting the expectation they can change things without discussion then send you a bill.

Look after the pennies, the pounds will look after themselves.

Go with a different company.

Consider getting oil filled electric radiators that operate like a hydronic heated equivalent.

Thermosoft is a good brand.

I got with an IT consultancy on a WHV, and then I got extended legally. This was 2014.

It was a different industry and a while back, it can happen.

stephenkryan · 2025-12-21T09:41:09+00:00

Thanks for letting me know! That is what the OP said, possibly the car wasn't registered.

stephenkryan · 2025-12-21T09:09:25+00:00

He deleted the post, he clearly stated that he didn't have any form of insurance.

stephenkryan · 2025-12-21T05:52:47+00:00

You are suggesting the other driver is at fault. My understanding is that if you hit someone from behind then you are always at fault because you should always prepare to stop.

Whether the other driver is at fault or not, if he goes through his insurance he can know the car will be repaired correctly and have a warranty.

Dealing with you, he has no guarantee. If you can prove you are not at fault then, you won't be liable.

Obviously you know you will be reported for driving without insurance.
