Here you have to have a floor but it doesn't necessarily have to have carpet. Landlord also has to provide some sort of basic window covering, heating in one room , hot water service and smoke alarms . In warmer states like Queensland they have to provide cooling as well. I think just in one room.

Thank you. I had never thought that it was a different type of dryer. My new fact for the day .❤️

I don't have one. I line dry. Most Australians line dry. And if they have a dryer they only use it to "finish off drying" in an extremely wet period in winter. They are very expensive to run. Electricity is very expensive here. One of my ds has one. It isn't vented anywhere, the warm air just goes into the laundry I guess. He would only use it once a week max My mum has one. She would only use it maybe 10 times a year . It doesn't have vents either. None of my friends have one that I am aware of. The house we rent out doesn't even have room for a dryer in the combination laundry/bathroom

I have never seen a clothes dryer ducted to outside.

Why would a landlord be responsible for a washing machine? Is that common there? I am a landlord and have never heard of it before. Is it a USA specific thing ?or a regional thing? Here the only appliance provided by a landlord is a stove. And they are hardwired into the house. They have to be inspected every year and a safety certificate supplied by a licensed contractor. The Tennent brings their own fridges and washing machine etc. if a tennent left a washing machine then the landlord could use some of the Tennant's bond money to get it disposed of before renting out the house again.

I will try that, thanks..I have swallow deposits. Didn't have any idea how to tackle it.

I swept the verandah. It took most of the day as I had to rest up inbetween sweeping small sections. I can't believe how excited I am about doing this. It has been bugging me for weeks, Before my illness I swept it in about 5 minutes flat.

Does anybody cook with parsnips? Questions
Melissa in Australia replied to Faith-manor's topic in The Chat Board
We use parsnip..we grow them,but I have never mashed them. They are fairly sweet. I put parsnip in stews with lentils instead of potatoes. I roast them as well. -

I would guess because of the microplastic pollution -
My neighbour have me a Gamin Venu SQ specifically to track my heart. She looked into it all while I was in hospital. Apparently it is pretty accurate. I know that it corresponds with the oximeter for pulse readings not only does it record my pulse, it sends me alerts on abnormal heart activity and sends nice graphs of my heart rate throughout the dsy to my phone Drawback I have found. It sends me silly messages. Like when I have a tachycardia episode it says that I am exercising too much and it needs to recover from the vigorous exercise. I don't need fancy sports features
