If you are going to do your own removals……. Plan your route carefully, and get plenty of insurance!
You don’t want to end up like this!
This bridge in South Melbourne seems to claim at least one truck a month.
Some are professional drivers like this one, but a lot are self drive hire trucks.
I saw these north facing windows the other day.
In spite of the architectural detailing this is a lesson on how to stuff up shading!
Its less than an hour from Midday and already most of the window is out of the shade.
If you want to know how to do it properly see this post: Northern Windows.
How about this new house?
Can’t see it? . . . . . Well here is another view.
Yes it really is covered in very 2nd hand tin!
The house was designed by the architects Raffaello Rosselli
Are you the sort of person who goes for ‘Designer’ Bags?
Well perhaps its time to get out the spray can and make yourself a Louis Vuitton Wheelie Bin like this one!
I saw this on a website called Little Monsters
A lot of people like a large garage……. but you need to be careful if you have a narrow block.
The size of the garage dominates this property and makes it look more like an industrial unit than a home. It isn’t helped by that really plain front door!
And here is another, more interesting front door, but still looks like a mechanic’s place.
Score of 1 /10 for kerbside appeal.
How Not to collect rainwater!
I suppose its cheap…….but it’s not the most convenient for filling your watering can from.
You can also see that algae is growing in all those open containers.
It’s not something most of us would want on our front gardens!
On the plus side it probably looks very spectacular in heavy rain as the water overflows into the various containers.
I probably walk past at least 5,000-6,000 different houses a year but this one has more front steps than any other I have seen.
Really good for making sure your glutes are well toned with 35 steps just to get the morning paper.
No this isn’t photoshopped……..It’s actually a scuplture of a shark crashing through the roof of this 150 year old house in a suburb of Oxford.

When I saw this Billboard the other day I had turn round to drive past it again, as I didn’t believe it the first time!
They are making it appear that it’s a big deal that they are selling what are the worst blocks on the estate!
A North Facing Block mean that the house gets very little warming sun during winter, as half the front of the house will probably be garage door.
A typical house will also have lots of East and West facing windows which will really soak up summer sun making the house a real sweatbox. With winter there will be no sun coming in but lots of heat going out through those windows.
It just goes to show that if you want honest advice don’t rely on Real Estate Agents or Land Developers.
The truth is a little less exciting. Actually its an apartment block, just off Punt Road.
It got me wondering whether they have summer barbecues, or human sacrifices!
