Welcome to the club. Get reading to spend whatever is left of your savings at bunnings Edit: OH! And sorry, just a heads up. At least 2 of the following will fail in the next 12 months. No your house is not cursed. No one can explain WHY it happens: Hotplates, Hot water unit, Oven, Dishwasher, or a shower leak.

Bunnings is a danger, but I'll be walking distance to Poynton's which could be worse 😝

in our case it was the goddamn extractor fan for the kitchen and the ducted heating flame sensor.

Ha! Dishwasher (leaked and went kaput) and shower leaks here

Congrats!!! I'm at the other end of the process and I'm about to have my first meeting with my mortgage broker so I'm terrified.
