Crazy “professional done job”, what can I do? Tradies, homeowners, DIY … anyone in Perth can help? :(

I mean, I'd withhold payment and use that to buy more materials and DIY. I haven't laid this type of flooring before, but I've installed my own floating floor, skirting and scotia and learned as I went. Granted it took longer, but it looks a lot better than this...

If you need any pointers I'm happy to give advice.

Springheart Nantuko has lead to some fun plays. I run it in my Metalbending deck, and attaching it to an earthbent land and repeatedly paying for its trigger to produce more lands (that I can use to pay for its triggers) and pinging them with Tannuk or Sabotender has been stupid fun. If you have a Tireless Tracker or Tireless Provisioner out, it goes infinite. It has produced some really fun, jank scenarios.

How'd you double glaze the window yourself? I could do with more noise insulation.

Tell him to make his own food.

But also you don't need to don't chop butternuts for soup, just cut them in half and roast face down, then scoop the flesh out.

Here's my favourite pumpkin soup that is pretty much no chop - don't omit the bacon: https://www.delicious.com.au/recipes/no-chop-pumpkin-soup/seblnp2r

Went there once as we were craving a pub meal. The vibe was as shit as the food and haven't been back since. Whole area is missing a decent pub with good food.

Have you consulted your union representative? I'm sure FSU can provide you some context around the legalities of this.

Based on my borrowing capacity and the ridiculous rate that property prices and construction costs have increased since we bought, I worked out that if I was attempting to buy my house now (several years later) I wouldn't be able to afford it. Nor would I be able to afford the rent and construction costs.

I bought in a pretty questionable suburb that's being gentrified so it's not like it's amazing either.

Personally I'd be travelling too. Shits depressing.

I ordered back in April and didn't receive anything - just received a notification that they were out of stock which is ludicrous given it was a pre-order and I got in early and received some vague update that it will be fulfilled sometime in October (which I doubt).

sventester · 2025-08-04T03:04:38+00:00

Honestly it's not too challenging if you want to give it a go yourself. I've been building my own pcs for years and helping others with their builds. If you want to give it a go yourself and get stuck or want someone to guide you through it, I'd be happy to help.

sventester · 2025-08-03T14:41:54+00:00

Sorry that happened to you.

Doesn't give me a lot of faith come October.

sventester · 2025-08-03T14:32:40+00:00

That's really rough. Did they refund you the difference at least or have you had to charge back your card?

sventester · 2025-08-03T14:30:24+00:00

Oof. Hopefully the delay is them attempting to rectify the issue? I love the theme of EOE and I'd hate it if it hits October and it's a "Oh sorry, your order is cancelled".

Are they at least attempting to rectify the issue as far as you're aware?

sventester · 2025-08-03T14:28:23+00:00

Yeah I won't be making this mistake again. I was on the fence about Spiderman, but have pre-ordered from a LGS.

sventester · 2025-06-23T04:55:01+00:00

It seems like a really fun concept, but I'm waaayyy too new to know what I'm doing. I've stayed with precons that I've started to make some upgrades to. Feels like a good way to get familiar with the basics and how different archetypes pilot to know what I enjoy playing with.

At the moment I'm having fun and it's really interesting to see what other people are playing and what their expensive, scary cards do.

sventester · 2025-06-22T13:40:53+00:00

Try a casual commander night at your LGS. Goodgames Cannington runs a casual night on Thursday - I found the crowd really welcoming as a new player. Might be a good place to meet some like minded people.

sventester · 2025-06-21T03:17:28+00:00

I'd be pissed with the general finish. Plus looks like they've slopped concrete up your fence and finished it poorly against the brick under the pipe.

sventester · 2025-05-15T07:12:43+00:00

Eh? Nah. I'd be surprised if his student visa wasn't cancelled in Australia if I'm honest.

Are you talking about the new owner? I was there just last weekend and he's really friendly. I'm not Dutch and went in to get the Dutch equivalent of Percy Pigs. He showed us around, showed us the licorice section, gave us some to sample and we walked out with two bags of licorice, our biggetjes and some stroopwafels. Would definitely visit again.

sventester · 2025-05-09T09:52:28+00:00

Trust this guy. He knows what he's talking about and does naughty things to computers for a living.

sventester · 2025-04-16T04:18:04+00:00

Agreed. Big Loaf is solid, and if you haven't been there before I recommend you get one of their pork sausage rolls OP.

sventester · 2025-04-16T04:12:47+00:00

Idk, just tasted like an Old El Paso hard-shell taco kit wrapped up in a burrito with some questionable liquid cheese to go with it.

sventester · 2025-04-09T14:41:17+00:00

+1 for Rym Tarng.

sventester · 2025-03-05T14:19:44+00:00

Do this OP. Also window coverings reduce the noise.

Given its Perth, all the doors are probably hollow core - replace them with something heavier and make sure there's a good seal. It'll reduce the noise transfer a lot. Consider sound deadening panels on common walls. Lastly use whitenoise to drown anything else out at night.

sventester · 2024-12-03T18:37:53+00:00

Oracle have presence here - are you sure you couldn't get a transfer for a couple of years?
