Is it me? yeah it’s me…

Today I got a bill from Distinctive Homes saying that I need to pay my next progress payment!

The slab went down on the 27th of January, now the wall and roof frames are up! Stoked!

Ok, I finally got around to getting the photos off the camera, I’ve found a nice little lamp post to lean against to take the photos, so they’ll generally be in the same place each time – which is also on the edge of our block.

btw, I can’t get the gallery to work – so you’re stuck with the dull way it looks

Even with all the wankers and distractions, I’m still feeling quite productive, I’m so far a head of my day; I had lunch at 11am just to keep my energy flowing into the afternoon.
Coffee; then back to trying to work out some DDoS Attacks, and some mail bombing!
My house is progressing nicely, finished the final builders interview yesterday – not often do you have one after the slab is already on the ground. Slab party this weekend!

Finally bought a real gaming console today, I got an xbox with modern warfare 2. Now I completely understand why gamers get fat and look stereotypical, ‘cos it is sooo fucking addictive! I lost 3 hours of my life tonight being in the most peaceful bliss I have felt in so long.

I can’t wait until I get Xbox live and start killing ‘real’ people!

Is it so bad that someone enjoys killing people but can’t let a bee drown when they water the plants? I don’t know if it says anything about the human race, but I’m sure it says something about the people I deal with each day.

On that note; kill ya later

I finally sent my Chinese photos to snapfish to get printed, along with my Kangaroo Island holiday photobook. The China holiday was in 2008 and KI in 2007!

I can’t think if it’s lazy or busy… we’ll go with busy.

Today I found out that my slab will be going down either on Friday or Monday.

I’m still trying to organise my first home buyer grant! They make it so f#cking hard!

I’ll post some photo’s soon.

On Friday morning I arrived at the Conveyancer’s office to deliver the two Cheques!

11am the land has settled!!!! Over the moon right now, I’m a proud owner of my first piece of Real Estate!

*imagine the wavy lines*
[A week ago]
I just received a letter stating that my application for the First Home Owners Grant (FHOG), has been accepted; the problem is that now the land is finally about to settle, it is almost up to the 6 month cut-off date – past the contract date for me to get my FHOG.

I have to start putting together some information for an extension.

I just called Revenue SA about getting an extension, the mysterious lady inside my phone receiver said “you must get letters from the Council, Land Titles Office (LTO), and anywhere else explaining why there was a hold up, plus a timeline of when the hold up was – and when the Footings will be poured”.

WTF! A City Council will not give letters nor will the LTO why they were held up, I don’t even think these places have faces!

I’m currently working quite hard to get this information, I will post a copy when I get it.

fhog Letter - Here’s a copy of my letter I sent, I’ll scan the reply I got tomorrow.

At the moment I’m about 2 hours away from finishing the http://www.daydreammine.com.au website. Hopefully it will be finished tonight with all the text and links working.
Please check it out and let me know what you think! I’ve published the beta, I’m still working on another mirror site that (hopefully) I will have all the bugs out of and it will be sitting pretty on the interwebs very soon.

A few weeks ago I received a letter stating that I was 10 weeks behind in rent! I was a little taken back by the whole thing, but they used a pretty threatening scary letter so I just paid the amount. It really got me thinking, I called my bank and asked them to send out the first half of 2006 statements, which cost me $42. I triple checked my statements and realised the payments were going to another company which was looking after the property before this mob.

At around 5:40am this morning we had a little visitor – a Possum has jumped into our laundry/toilet/lean-to and pissed and shitted all over the place. I went to golf at 6am and got back at around 8:45am I called the landlord and they said “I’ve already put the work-order in, I’ll send another one now”. I said “can you please make it a priority, it’s very unhygenic and…”, he butted in with “so are birds and chooks”. I virtually hung up on him, I was fuming! BUT WE DON’T HAVE ANY FUCKING BIRDS OR CHOOKS IN OUR LAUNDRY!

Please refer to Part 4, Division 3. Numbers:

• 57 – Landlord’s duty to keep proper records of rent
• 58 – Duty to give receipt for rent

Also refer to Part 4, Division 7. Numbers:

• 68 – Landlord’s obligation to repair

I will also write to seek a hearing from the tribunal, for the fuckers to get fined! I like the quote “If they fuck up, make them pay!”, that is my current attitude – I’ll explain more about this in the next day or so when I’ve finished writing it.

About 6 months ago:

I realised I had a bit of extra weight that I needed to remove, so I decided to checkout the local equipment suppliers. I finally found somewhere that made you feel welcome it was WW in Mile End, SA. I bought a few small items (approx $200) for my boxing bag, ie. gloves, strapping, etc. Customer service was great (for now). Then I found a few other items that caught my eye, I told them I’ll be back to get them later.

It was approx a week until I went back and ordered a 4-way boxing stand ($699), the waiting time was “middle of next week” the salesperson said. I didn’t mind too much, I called them at the end of the following week as I was expecting a call. They had explained that “…it must have missed the truck!” (WTF!!! how can something so big miss a truck?)

I called them the following week Read the rest of this entry »
