  1. There's a few Kia dealers around the suburbs. When you're here, find out the closest one to you and go get a deal. Don't let them know you're fresh off the boat though. Do you know what model you want? Si, SLi or Platinum? I can recommend Wayne Phillis Kia at Reynella, but if you're North, it won't be much use. You can usually get about 12% off sticker price over here, if you're good at haggling. I'll say again, don't let them know you've just arrived.

  2. 120's a minimum, 90K is too low, I'd say you need 150 at least to live in adelaide, my brother in law had to wait over 10 months to find another role paying 150k, and he is from adelaide with a very well developed set of contacts, the word plenty is simply misleading.

     

    I think you misread my post. I didn't say $120k was plenty, I said that there's plenty of jobs paying $120k.

  3. I have relatives that live at Seaford meadows and each time we go to visit I feel a little more like I'll be coming back to my car on bricks. It was always going to happen with the amount of trust housing and being dirt cheap to buy land due to being so far from the city. A shame as it was a nice place 5 years ago.

  4. I don't understand this, as surely it means more insulation? Houses in the UK are double brick. Most of the coldness did seem to be coming from our drafty singleglazed windows though!

     

    This year, there is a 2 hour limit on heating/cooling per day!

     

    Most houses in the UK are brick, 50mm air space, 100mm insulation, and then thermally rated blockwork.

     

    Double brick house here are just that. Brick, 50mm cavity, brick.

  5. We've got ducted heating/cooling and my winter bill was $1200 because Kate was constantly cold. She can put a jumper on next year!

     

    Lol wut?? Some jumpers would be cheaper. $1200 for a quarter? That's insane!

     

    We are with agl on a standard deal. And not careful with usage. Everything left on stand by.

     

    In our last place we had ducted but no gas and our quarterly electric bills were about $280.

  6. How does that work if you are say 6'4, solid build and clock in around 100kg, perhaps more?

     

    Or if someone is 5ft and about 45 kilos?

     

    It would be very unfair :goofy:

     

    Lose some muscle mass in the weeks leading up to your flight? If you are 100kg you get 20kg for luggage. That's enough for 6+ weeks.

  7. Is your profession arguing on poms in adelaide? ;-)

     

    Ok so you as you have no idea how buildings are meant to be properly constructed, I'll let you now out now and take away your shovel.

     

    I have accepted that construction is crap, I just laugh when people say that modern houses have to be built well to be energy efficient. In the UK they perform air leakage tests on energy compliant buildings. They wouldn't get a reading from the buildings here, air tightness doesn't exist.

     

    You do get what you pay for, I know we charge a **** load of money for our designs and quality.
