Have been talking to the bank. I threw up.
yeahhhh you know those home loan adds where the 20 something guy carries his laughing girlfriend through the door? Its NOTHING like that. Least it wasnt for us. We got in the door, basically collapsed on the ground and went "Right, that was fucked and this is a dump so lets at least get rid of these god awful curtains!"
Bank dicks you at every turn as well.
but then you pull up some shitty carpet, or get solar installed, or drill a hole for mounting shelves and it's fucking wild
20k and 100 trips to bunnings later! But yeah your right.
we literally have a bunnings less than 2k from us. 15 mins walk. Less by bike. Even less by car. It's awesomely dangerous.
Will be even closer than that. And Spotlight. Very dangerous.
Oh god, not the mentone one, there's an aldi and a reject shop too
Nope. I'm a Westie.
