>the average house in America costs 400k USD>the average house in Australia costs 800k USDI find it funny whenever Americans complain about the cost of housing, we have it so much worse compared to them.
>>542275792>we 10 million extremely obnoxious douchebag assholes on the giant mining island that China's 1.5 billion chads is going to completely overtake are going to complain on the internetsinking ship, faggot.
>>542275792We don't think about you guys at all
Bought one in a country town for 100k and spent 30k renovating itbut let me guess you need to live in the CBD for your diverse food and culture?
>its heckin expensive to own a home on the prison colony Well at least your vaxxed
>>542276008>spent 30k renovating itRenovating what? One room? Just getting my roof done is 20k. Stumping another 20k. Kitchen? Boy howdy you better believe that's another 20k. On top of that bathroom and all the other shit I need to do? It's actually cheaper for me to get a demolition job done and have a new house built.
>>542275792idk try kicking the Jeets and Changs out and see if that doesn't help?
>>542275792It's even worse when you consider the income difference.
>the cost of housing in burgerstine is 1 quntillon dollars>The cost of housing in kikiestain is 1.1quintillom dollars.This is a bot post
>>542276337Europeans love to bitch about American stick houses but when one of our walls rots away we can tear the whole thing out in a week and replace it for $1500, with just one person.
>>542276337>Stumping another 20kFunny you should mention that, first thing I did, jarrah stumps cos about 3k in wood and I did 90% myself, maybe 100 hours worth of work at a leisurely pace, about 60 stumpsBathroom cost about 5k cos everything was new, kitchen was about 1k just replaced the cupboards, counter, sink, tap ectyou know you can do 90% of things yourself right? it's not exactly rocket scienceStill wouldn't recommend it, renovating taught me renovating sucks ass and I will never do it again
>>542276430Mine IS a stick house. That's half the problem. Nothing is sealed. The insulation is fucked, the floors are fucked (because it's on stumps not a cement slab). Half the house was an addition added 70 years after the original. That half IS on a slab, so I've got a step right through the middle of the house where you step down from wood floors onto cement. Which means the plumbing is all on fucking elevations and I can't level shit out without redoing the whole fucking thing.Roofs fucked floors fucked foundation is fucked walls are fucked. Not worth fixing.
>>542276553yeah roof is a rough one, that was my one criteria on buyinghow much room between the ground and the house for stumps?Fireplace?
Yea m8 but if we kicked out all you cunts it could be even cheaper.
>>542276624>how much room between the ground and the house for stumps?About 6 inches. I'd have to tear up the floors. I couldn't even get my shoulders under there to replace the phone line.Fireplace is a stand alone brick chimney that is one of the very few renovation projects my old man ever completed to what I would call a passable standard. Also, it's in regular use because the house hasn't got a gas stove anymore, just a wood stove.
>>542276717Yeah that's a bigger job, doable but you'd def want to be living somewhere else during it, but you could do it ESL if you have help, I was lucky and had about 3 feetwhat state you in?also if you have roof tiles, a tin roof will take a lot of pressure off the stumps, my stumps where fucked, the wood would crumble in my hand house was build in the 50's though
>>542276717What state btw?
>>542276553that's crazy, whoever built that house put it on tree stumps to save money and those kinds of foundations last 10-20 years tops. I had the unenviable job of having to redo my brick and mortar foundation, i had to pour two pedestals and lay cinderblocks, use treated 2x8s for supports. doing that under a meter of space under a swampy, dusty, spidery ass house fuck that.
>>542275792Wow crazy.
>>542276895WA. It's a tin roof. All of which ALSO needs to be replaced. And it's much older than the 50's.>>542276950>doing that under a meter of space under a swampy, dusty, spidery ass house fuck that.It was more than that originally. The house has sunk, it's like 120 years old.
>>542276950Nigger we used jarrah back in the day, pine may only last 10-20 years but there are houses built after ww2 that are still on the originals all thought-out the country
>>542277008Fucking hell older?I'm in WA too, what region? my house was in wagin but I'm up in the north west now
>>542277008>120 years oldBro what the fuck
>>542275792Work harder
