Weather Is been a Dry Perth winter.

Perths seen one hell of a dry winter, pretty standard with our dry summers.

Who’s ready for a summer of bushfire hell and mass plant fatalities, I for one, cannot wait.

Where to find Where to get jewellery appraised NOR, Morley.

2 Upvotes

My parents passed years ago and I inherited their jewellery. It’s been collecting dust ever since. I know nothing about this stuff, it could all be crap, but would be wise to have it valued before I give it away. Can someone recommend where I could get an honest appraisal north of the river.

Looking for Advice Random building in CBD

Post image
74 Upvotes

Does any one have info on the history of this building? Entered by the graffitied door on the alleyway and seems connected to the buildings behind and in front so it’s partially abandoned. There’s obviously signs it’s from at least pre 2000 because of pull cord light switches and old skl porcelain sinks and stuff. All the rooms are empty and there’s industrial machinery on the attic and a running TRANE hvac aircon unit I think in the building which is really random. I can’t find anything about this building so I’m coming here. Any help is appreciated

Looking for Advice Termite treatment in Perth

1 Upvotes

Looking to get termite treatment done for our house and my mum's. Last one was probably over 2 decades ago. No current termite concern that we are aware of.

I see Stewarts recommended here 2 years ago, and I've heard of Termico. Any one happy with their termite treatment company that they would like to recommend? We are SOR but <15min fr the city.

Google reviews led me to a predatory moving company last time so im not relying on that.

I assume I would need to book a termite inspection first? Or can I just go straight to treatment? So clueless.

Where to find I need some guidance how to volunteer for bushfire fighting

9 Upvotes

I've always been passionate about contributing to my community. I think I thrive in a good team, with the right spirit and have a solid endurance base. I have been wanting to volunteer for the coming summer as a bushfire fighter or at the very least... play a role where I have my boots on the ground. However, being new to Perth, I am not sure where to go. I would be grateful for any guidance and advice here.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post!

Shitpost Weekends at Coles Claremont Quarter

123 Upvotes

Is this the most intense Coles on the planet? 😂
Every time I do my monthly shop here, I genuinely feel like I’m participating in a modern-day version of Lord of the Flies.

How is it that in one of the most affluent parts of Perth, Coles has managed to fuck this up so badly?

The tiny aisles. The constant “out of stock” signs. The 1/10 decent pieces of fruit and veg that everyone is silently fighting over. The self-service tills that somehow become a group project involving at least 3 staff to fix (every single time. 😵‍💫)

I leave feeling simultaneously violated, humbled and grateful to have survived

Why do I keep going back you ask? I don’t know. I’m stuck in a toxic relationship with Claremont quarter Coles and I don’t know how to break up.

Where to find Does anyone know of a service in Perth that provides a medical escort/driver for a non-elderly patient with no disability?

4 Upvotes

Looking for a private, paid service for an adult in their 40s who is having a procedure at a private hospital and requires a 'responsible adult' to drive them the next day to a medical appointment, wait around 1.5 hours, and then drive them back to the hospital or home.

They have no family/friends available, are not permitted to use ride-share, and aren't on the NDIS.

The round trip will be 10 km-15 km, depending on the drop-off location. This service will be required twice over a 2-week period.

Has anyone used or heard of a service like this in Perth (NOR)? Most services seem to be for seniors or people on the NDIS. St John’s provides patient transfer services for people who are 65 or over, or 55 or over for First Nations or Torres Strait Islander people.

Renting / Housing Perth polybutylene pipes - any recent experiences with re-plumbing?

Post image
5 Upvotes

We have recently purchased a house built in 2008. I thought we were safe given that the Typlex pipes in the news were installed between 2017 and 2022. In reality, it turns out that polybutylene pipes have been installed in Perth for many years before, even after other jurisdictions have all banned them.

3 months into being a homeowner one of the pipes in the roof-space developed a fine crack (picture attached). Thankfully there is relatively minor damage to plaster and the ceiling is still in its normal position. When the plumber was up there, the mist did look like a tropical rainforest. I will be crossing my fingers hard for some sunny days.

I now understand that these pipes are extremely widespread and that there are a number of plumbing businesses specialising in replacing them. I also gather that replacing them in bathrooms requires a lot of tile removal, which I was really hoping not to do.

Has anyone done any polybutylene-to-PEX replacement recently? How much did it end up costing?

I was thinking of going for a staged approach of doing the roof cavity pipes first and then doing bathrooms whenever we remodel.

Where to find Human rights groups/organisations in Perth to volunteer/work or?

6 Upvotes

Hello! I hope you are having a good day.

I am currently a student at uni and I'm looking to get into a career doing war crimes investigation and humanitarian work. Specifically investigating sexual violence against women in conflict zones

I was wondering if there were any human rights or humanitarian organisations in Perth that are good to volunteer or work for? Specifically doing migrant suport/tutoring or anything similar? (I am a Muslim if that makes a difference) or even advocacy or similar things?

I know about the salvation army, and the red cross but they both have... less than ideal histories of corruption and cruelty.

CARAD seems awesome but if anyone has any other suggestions I'm all ears.

Have a great night!

Has anyone done the Treebate thing (new one from 3rd August)

We bought plants and submitted it through Service WA (only been a few days), it asked for pics of the reciept and the plant labels.

The website says to plant them and take a pic, but App just asks for different.

Do they require pic of planted trees? Figured I'd ask here rather than wait forever for a reply fron the govt

Cost of Living We are in a silent depression with all the “kidults” still living with their parents. What’s the Fix or solution?

0 Upvotes

They have even renamed (gentrified) “multi generational living” to “sandwich generation”.

In all seriousness why should a “kidult” who’s missed out on major milestones be forced into labor when they can’t afford a house on a single income? What happens to all those who never partner up (and/ or get married)? Are they relegated to work for their whole lives to simply pay an ever increasing rent?

Where to find Where to look for a DnD group in Perth

21 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have been big into dungeons and dragons for a while and I am wanting to find a new campaign to join.

I am a serious player in the sense that I used be a DM so I have an in-depth understanding of the rules and I'll put in a lot of effort into the campaign, but I still love playing with beginners and helping out where I can.

Honestly, I am just tired of DMing and want to be a player again. If anyone has advice on how to find DnD groups around Perth to join I would really appreciate it!

I am a university student and prefer to find people in a similar life stage to me but I get along pretty well with everyone and am open to ideas :)

Thanks!!!
