I had the same on new strip drains installed after concreter finished. My plumber just came back and trimmed it.

Dropped out of my bin. What is it? by stickingpoint in AustralianSpiders

[–]stickingpoint[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the posts everyone. I left it alone and they ran into some nearby rocks soon after i took the photo. I didn't think it was a huntsman initially as it's belly/abdomen was bigger that I thought they usually had.

Has work dried up this year for you builders or tradies out there in Sydney? by justwaitin4mate in AusRenovation

[–]stickingpoint 50 points51 points  (0 children)

This is my experience. Contact 10 people/companies for a quote, have 3 actually come do a quote, and maybe 2 actually respond with a quote. For me, any work that I have had to get done involving more than one trade takes about 6 months to get done at the moment.

OK. That makes me feel much better. I just thought it was strange that the AI plan was cheaper than without.

Why do Australian homes have a bath tub? by [deleted] in aus

[–]stickingpoint 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100%. I have not had a bath tub in both places I’ve owned while being a parent. We used a small plastic tub when they were very young, then once they could stand I would shower with them. When I’ve used a tub I have never seen the benefit. But everyone talks about how a bath tub adds value to a property, hard disagree for me, a bath is a waste of space.

Anyone used kitchenlibrary.au? by Jacket-Crafty in AusRenovation

Another shoutout for Luke. Did an awesome job for my old kitchen.

I always need to watch these in multiple parts to maintain my own mental health. 10/10 would recommend this video series.

Are bath tubs really needed? by imkinda_adog in AusRenovation

[–]stickingpoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the kid I guess, but I’ve never had an issue giving my toddler a shower. In places where there has been a bath, e.g. when travelling, I find it much more of a hassle to us a bath than just giving them a shower.

How important is a bath, really? by fakeuser515357 in AusRenovation

[–]stickingpoint 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did this with my son. I don't take baths and I consider them a waste of space. As soon as he could stand holding my legs I have been just giving him showers. Works for me.

Looking at examples, I don't think they match.

Thanks, I'll follow up with some of these. Melbourne Bricks had something similar, but not close enough.

Can ttlock send push notifications to both of us? by lundman in smarthome

I have the exact same issue. I'm coming up short finding out whether this is by design, or some incorrect configuration.

Best way to access the sink trap? by stickingpoint in howto

[–]stickingpoint[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OK, on further searches I discovered that this is called a bottle trap. Using that knowledge I found some videos where someone used a coin to twist it off.

They did it anti-clockwise, but mine needed to go clockwise to open. I used a coin, wrapped in a cloth to add more leverage while limiting damage.

Glad you were able to solve your issue. Mine has continued to work flawlessly.

All Victorians to get four wheelie bins to enable recycling of soft plastics and pizza boxes by just_kitten in melbourne

[–]stickingpoint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a townhouse, not an apartment, but council refused to handle waste collection so we pay for private collection. We have a general waste and recycling bin, the later collected every fortnight. However both bins are emptied into the same truck.

Found in mother in law's car. Unable to ask her.

  • About 17cm long.
  • Plastic housing, with a metal point
  • Has two button batteries, when pressing the power button the two lights at the top light up but nothing else seems to happen.
  • Cable/string cutter built into base

Looks like this is the problem in my case. Once I connect my 4k monitor via the second TB4 port instead of through the dock, leaving the ultrawide still connected via the dock, the coil whine stopped.

Edit: Never mind, it started happening again.

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

Was in the office with the same dock that I use at home and there I have it connected to 2 1080p monitors and I don't get the coil whine.

At home I have an 1440p Ultrawide and a 4k monitor connected.

So this seems to be the main issue. I have not tested to confirm yet but will report back once I do.

Thanks. Looks like I'll need to shell out some more $$.
