You forgot one major thing though Al (and I know this is going to be a can'o'worms) but proximity to good public schools.

No f**king way my Kid is going to St Albans high just so I can have a bigger bedroom

Rabble rabble rabble

Do you know how many successful people had their schooling at St Albans high?

How dare you, you ignorant piece of shit

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

LOL

Seabrook primary (public) was / is ranked top 5 in Victoria for a couple of subjects.

Aside from that a number of schools here are well regarded and have better amenities.

But perhaps the $500+ thousand you save on your house can cover a $200k private education

I doubt Jonoe is turning down grad jobs cause it doesn't fit/low pay/hard work.

If he is, then harden the f**k up.

If he having trouble securing any grad job, he needs to make himself stand out amongst all the others.

And I stand by my comment of grad jobs. They are hired by HR under their budget & have no clue what makes a good engineer. All they can go off is uni marks which is only one dimension of a productive employee.

Best to go for full time job if you can talk the talk as you are hired by senior engineer & not some HR muppet.

f*k no, i have to get interviews for grad positions first. You'd be pretty stupid to turn down grad job these days in engineering. lol. Move around later on, not choose what u wanna do now. Just need that big foot in the door.

I'm gonna try network though my boss atm. Since we are technically a subbie. High exposure to multiple builders. Blah blah blah. I dont have much confidence in those general grad positions/programs. Sure i'm gonna try. But gonna rely more on getting something through the industry. Instead of applying for grad positions.

Yeah that's how it is in the engineering world.

I've had multiple eng grads reporting to me picked by HR department/budget. All they have is high uni marks & 0 world experience/people skills.

Better to push for industry/position rather than a grad program position but it doesn't hurt to apply for both.

Deets on this

- Forget about looking for bargains/trying to save a sneaky $5-10k for your budget. The longer you try to play games, the more chances someone with more money will show up. Commit to your budget, don't go over or be cheap by holding back.

- take a copy of contract after inspection, allows you to send through a written offer via email on the same day rather than waiting until Monday AM. Helps you get ahead of the interested parties.

- watch out for clauses in the contract, one contract wanted me to accept tenants which are being taken to VCAT by vendor. That's not my problem.

- Set a deadline Monday 5pm & don't settle for any later. Agents will scramble to find another interested party prior to deadline if you put forward an offer they can't risk losing. Being straight after the weekend inspection majority will be caught out.

- also if they reject your written offer & take the risk, the auction will have to start from your figure (as far as I'm aware). Which would drive a lot of people away as they can't under quote to lure people in.

- real estate agent wanted me to put in a written offer 10k less than what I initially said & to hold an auction on Tuesday. Although that could mean $10k less payment, it means he can lure in other buyers and create a mini auction. Told him this is my budget & im not playing any games, if someone offers $1 extra by 5pm Monday they can have it.

- what also helped was that it was an unlisted property soon to be put on market. Real estate agent wanted to gauge market interest prior to advertising. Dropped an offer for a price I knew it would go for before the public even knew it was on the market. He did have some interested parties but they wanted another inspection on Thursday. My deadline 5pm Monday put a stop to that.

No doubt my opinion is wrong & could have saved blah blah doing x,y,z. End of day, I'm happy with the result & the realestate ain't. :)

I shoot targets

They make less mess than animals

Yeah I dont see the point in shooting harmless animals...unless they are in plague proportions /costing you money/dangerous to your well being. Leave the poor animals alone.. You are no hero for shooting one, wanna be a hero, go take it down with your bare hands... If it has teeth or claws you can take a knife...

Cleaning up the tool kit atm, as it's driving me nuts finding things.

other than a pouch any-one seen some smart ways to store spanners?

kit is my track kit so gets bounced around so non slip or thin plastic trays just not last.

Its a Nissan ...you need a 10/12/14/17. Pretty much covers everything, how hard can it be to store 4 spanners...throw a shifter in for good luck

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
