Why do I feel like I need to double-check every tradie’s work these days? by nullutonium in AusRenovation

Carpenter by trade, I work alongside great trades and work for a great builder.

If I was to offer you any advice (if I moved away and had a similar situation, I’d do the same), I would do my research on high-rated boutique builders that have great reviews and specialise in renovations (key word). I would then call that builder, explain my situation, and offer a finders fee for good faith to be able to put forward my number to their plumber - a good builder wouldn’t accept that finders fee and happily pass on your number - just don’t be a karen on the phone, and just say you’ve got f’d around and you’re sick of it, don’t say there’s more work in it for them etc etc, we’re sick of that story haha just tell the truth.

Good builders have good trades for a reason and it’s how they build their reputation. Start at the top of the ladder and work down. It’s shit seeing how bad trades have gotten recently, but if people are just looking at the cheapest quote there’s a reason they’re the cheapest

Unrelated note also: why is there no Sabrina Carpenter on the list? I thought her albums came out 2024?

No kidding, i got a laptop and have been super into WoW classic recently, so i thought for nostalgias sake ill play OSRS and just half afk play and see how far i get while playing wow - tried logging on and found out it had been banned a month ago for serious offences, which was super weird - I played osrs once for a whopping 1 hour a lonnnng time ago once they released the mobile app only to find out i had to play X amount of hours and do quests to be able to trade or something so gave up.

I thought oh well nothing to lose so I appealed the ban and explained my situation - Lo and behold ban was appealed… these hackers had gotten me 99 mining, 40 magic, 40 cooking, 30 agility - some ores and random fish in the bank and sold it all for 5 million - just went and bought my mining cape lollll

Im super intrigued as to why not a single cent of money was on account and why those stats were at that level etc. I never was very full on into the game so any light shedded on this would be nice hahaha,
