Hi Guys, I bought a 1977 built house which was last sold for $390k in 2019 and I paid $650k. After moving in we found the cabinet drawers were broken and the house had plumbing issues which will cost up to $2k to fix. Surely I am not the only one who had these issues. Anyone else want to share their story ?
Bought a 90s build just as the post-covid market explosion was starting.
Missed a rotting wall and carpet from badly installed taps. It was surprisingly straightforward to remedy, cost us under $1k in repairs and new carpet and I suspect saved us tens of thousands on the asking price given the market at the time.
I’ve seen far too manny error messages claiming I did something I most certainly didn’t do. This seems like a good way to make those far more prolific.
The CSIRO found the industry would fall short of meeting its net zero target, and instead recommended the adoption of a “climate-neutral” target that would require a reduction of methane emissions rather their complete elimination.
Wood didn’t rot in the carboniferous era. It used to build up in dense layers that became our modern coal veins.
At some point microorganisms evolved to exploit that vast resource. Now coal can no longer generate naturally and we have to keep wood structures dry or painted lest they be reclaimed by the Eafth.
I don’t know if there’s any reason it couldn’t happen to plastic. We’ve crested the niche already, how long until something exploits it?
