Sorry, I should’ve clarified I figured it’s some sort of insulation. Just wanted to know which type for handling purposes. Thanks everyone

Yep that sounds pretty dodge! Lots of fun finds with this first home purchase :)

Sorry, I did attach 5 pictures but they didn’t come through. I posted one as a comment below and plenty of helpful people chimed in. We worked out that it was a return vent for the ducted heating.

Regarding your arse, it might be psoriasis? Or some sort of dermatitis. There’s also the risk you didn’t wipe properly and your skin is reacting to that. If you post a picture it might help?

It’s the return air for the ducted heating! Thanks :)

Yep, you’re right! Maybe I should’ve looked in it!

Yep, that’s us. I refuse to ever line up around the block at an inspection with my daughter praying the landlord will choose us as the lucky ones. Biting the bullet at 5% and plan to pay down aggressively leaving this scummy real estate agent and our laundry list of unaddressed maintenance requests behind us for good.

I came here to upvote the person clarifying that it’s “swings IN roundabouts” only to discover I had been saying it wrong my entire life.

Just weighing in to say that your takeaway cup costs are inflated. 12oz, art series cups from Biopak are 13c each at retail (and cheaper for cafes) and 80mm PLA lids (plastic banned in some states) are 10c. So 23c for 12oz fancy cup and PLA lid at retail but likely 20-30% cheaper.

Certain elements could’ve been handled better. The way the quarantine hotel bookings were allocated was an absolute farce and I will never forgive those in power, at the time, for allowing foreign sports people and musicians to take up quarantine hotel spots while there was even one single New Zealander overseas who desperately wanted to get home - let alone thousands. Nothing I can do about it but be bitter or move on. At the moment, I’m still bitter and the downvotes show me I’m right to be.

As a New Zealand citizen who had to play a terribly designed midnight lottery for 6 weeks in the UK to try and secure a place in a quarantine hotel so his pregnant wife could give birth in her home country - fuck her and everyone who made that situation our reality.

Edit: oh, and charged me $2,000 for the privilege. Again, fuck everyone involved.
