    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

        Looking forward to that bit. Won’t be able to afford much for a bit but there will absolutely be a ceremonial nail bashed into a wall.

          Living in it when its a bit shit is actually great though! Your better off that way cause you get to explore your ideas a bit more. Nothing worse than spending all this money fixing stuff before you move in, then you get in there and it doesnt work as well as you hoped it might.

          Ceremonial putting up of at least one shelf, or a single picture if you want the Clayton’s option.

          we literally have a bunnings less than 2k from us. 15 mins walk. Less by bike. Even less by car. It’s awesomely dangerous.

      I’ve got a distain for bank ads. There was one a little awhile ago with some guy singing totally mangling up a song by wedging in more words than a melody could provide but how tonedeaf to be singing about money when we’re struggling so badly.
