Probably playing candy crush, tetris, or snake...maybe even online gambling for those real high rollers.

Clearly, RB requires lots of careful thought before pressing 'reply'.
Anyhow, I'll bet 90% are somehow looking at pr0n.

Always so hard to get the purging right. Then 30 years down the track the liberators are the monsters...but throwing flaming tyres! Should be fun yeah?

Yeah ... I understand.
A few years ago I imported a Honda SS50 motorcycle from Vietnam. Awesome bike. Anyway it cost more to move it from the boat to my trailer, maybe an hours toil all up, than it cost to buy and renovate from scratch. Those dockside pieces of crap should eat shjt and die.

Missus wants a deck on the front of the house. Figure it should be pretty straightforward provided we're within the minimum setback and not over any easements. Hit up Dial Before you Dig and all is cool there. Consider that I'd better hit up council as it's kinda visible out the front of the house. Council says planning permission required because we want to put a roof over it. OK, speak to my bro who's a budding architect and he knocks up some drawings. Send these to council and get knocked back because they need to know which surfaces we are covering are impervious as we are in an inundation zone, and they are not to scale. Deck is going over an existing garden bed so no impervious surfaces present, and when I double check drawings they are only out on a couple of measurements by 200mm. Get this pedantry resolved and pay my coin for planning ($650). Get a letter back two weeks later saying planning permission not required but a building permit is. Question council as to how to get a building permit. Told need to go to a building surveyor, and require engineering inspections and storm water management. Starting to question my sanity now as this is a 15 square meter deck with a single pitch roof into an existing storm water connection, how farkin hard can it be? Go and talk to building surveyor who laughs and says because my deck is below a minimum size requirement, is covering a doorway and has the existing stormwater there it's classified as a porch and is allowable without any planning or building permit requirements. So six weeks later I now have to joy of trying to extract my $650 back from the council without exploding with fury at their utter uselessness.

We might have the same council @rangersac
We are doing a reno atm, nothing groundbreaking, on a long, narrow block with a laneway at the rear. We have a carport off the laneway, so thought it would be a good idea to build a proper garage with a studio above, as many others have done near us.
Our neighbour has a big paperbark tree right against the fence next to our carport which hangs over our fence, drops leaves all year round & has a root system which has cracked the carport slab & broken the old ceramic sewer pipe which runs under the slab. We get on with them & understand they really like this tree so organised an arborist report ($) early on to keep the neighbours sweet. We replaced the broken sewer ($) which required pulling the carport down to get a big enough excavator in.
We did a lot of extra engineering wrangling ($) to work out how to build around this tree & engaged a planning consultant ($) to ensure the process ran smoothly. Our planning permit was approved & issued with a couple of conditions, one of which was that we must retain the carport slab, presumably to protect the tree's roots, though noone in the process had ever heard of anything like this before. Of course the garage cannot be built without new foundations, so more info was provided to council ($) about the floating foundations on piers which would mean the root system is not impacted, & a tree impact assesment ($) was prepared & submitted. The contact at council then suggested the condition around retaining the slab could be removed with a 'rubber stamp' arrangement with a tree management plan ($) in place, which we organised. This was all leading up to Dec 2016 & when council opened in 2017 she had moved to a different role.
The new council person wasn't having any of it & asked for more assesments/ plans ($) & stated that removing the condition needed to go through as an official ammendment ($). Council proceeded to drag their heels all year, looking for more info/ losing paperwork/ reffering documents to another officer who was on leave, etc. In Nov 2017 we said fuck it, it wasn't meant to be, & pulled the garage from the plans just after construction of the main house started. Council were notified we were not proceeding with the garage.
Just before christmas council got in touch to ask what was going to be at the rear of the property, in place of the garage which they had approved (which couldn't be built because of their clause). We explained that nothing was happening, that the old carport would be reinstated, as per the original application & site condition report. The old carport is still in pieces in the back yard for the most part.
Council informed us that putting our old carport back would require another ammendment ($).

I have been sitting and watching this one, just waiting for someone to complain about council planning departments. I deal with these dicks week in, week out and it is nothing but a giant head fuck. Pick a council, any council, they're all the same.
