Just put out a second load of washing. It should dry quickly in this heat.

Has anyone bought a house using a buying agent? i like the idea, but a lot of them seem to be very expensive & aimed at high end property and very expensive, I'm looking for someone who is affordable and a flat fee not commission based. Any feedback or recommendations?

I used one - Select Property Advisers. Worth every cent in freedom from hassle. Flat fees - keep dreaming. They all charge commission.

Do you mean this one https://selectpropertyadvocates.com.au/buying/ ? It says on their page they charge a flat fee. I was also looking at https://www.propertyhomebase.com.au/ which charge flat fees.

I have decided to donate my bike if I can find someone who wants it. It is currently mostly a collection of parts that need to be put together, as I intended to do some repairs and got as far as buying parts and tools and pulling it apart before losing enthusiasm. I have made enquiries with the local communiy centre that does regular bike repair and demonstration workshops, I'm hoping they will be interested in taking it to use as a demonstration project that can then be donated as a working bike to someone who needs it.

Went for a drive out to Altona for a crunchwrap supreme from Taco Bell and then over to ... I just checked the maps and apparently it's Laverton North but it's not where I'd say Laverton North is.. anyway I took the car over to "Laverton North" for a nice wash to get the bugs and road off from my long weekend adventures.

Lovely brrr'ing around with some tunes and AC on a warm evening.

Edit: I mean, I guess it can be Laverton North..

Not a breath of wind. House is hot, outside is lovely ...

Alrighty. Off to get a haircut then "coffee catchup" with general manager this afternoon.

Did not want to get up this morning.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mate, you're in the wrong thread

Can't sleep. Just going to get up and do something. Hate laying here.

The cool breeze is slowly cooling down the place. Already broken yesterday's low :)

Still, would be nice to be a little colder for sleep, but I'll take all the wins I can get

Edit: wait nvm I can't read. It's still insanely hot, it just feels so much colder than it is for some reason

I had to go back to a previous mass effect save game. Didn't gather enough resources. Bugger.

Bloody PH bus timetables! Not going to make it into work before the heat. Razzum Frazzum.

The wildlife water dried up and blew down while I was asleep. It's the light material and the flat wide aerodynamic shape. The raised placement also lets gusts of wind get under to pick it up. I put it in that spot for a reason and chose a shallow dish so animals/insects don't drown but it's a bit inconvenient.

I put it back, peeled the huge block of ice out of the silicone bowl/jelly mould to weigh it down and filled it the rest of the way with water from the tap. The ice should keep the platter held down for a while and keep everything cool. It can also slowly refill the water as it melts.
