Western Australia has a water problem. Our rains no longer fill dams and we rely heavily on ground water and desalination plants. The Water Corporation offers free watersaving shower heads, two to a residence on a bring in your old one and get a watersaving model basis. I collected my second one today and installed it (with a bit of swearing) at my unit at Quinns Rocks.
The renovation is going slowly but steadily. I have a quote to remove the three large palms, grind the stumps out and remove all the mess. I had an idea that the quote would be around $4,000, but was very thankful to find the man will do the job for $1332. I guess he has the gear for the job and maybe he has no work on at the moment.
Cleaning out the gutters is the next contract job for both units and it looks like it will be a difficult job as the roof tiles almost cover the gutters. The quote might not be as generous as the palms. An aircondition unit is to be installed for around $2,000 and I think the couple in the rear unit will probably ask for one once they see it being installed.
Probably another two weeks work before it can be offered for rent
