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

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
