    The Home Improvements Thread (3)

    One more tickbox done on the much larger upgrade. Privacy fence finally got installed today. Think I am more happy about not have to lift up the shade net every time I need to pass through

    Cleaners for luxury property rentals go on strike in Camps Bay

    I'm not in the cleaning industry but a company like say Bidvest Cleaning, I would be surprised if they are paying much more than that, if that. The company we use to book a cleaner for our house, as said was R400 for the day. If they were paying the same R270 a day it only leaves R130 profit to...

    Cleaners for luxury property rentals go on strike in Camps Bay

    What people pay, or claim to pay, their own domestics I generally take with a pinch of salt because the vast majority (and I am not saying you are one of them), completely disregard their legal duties. No paye, no uif, no coida, no payslips, no annual leave, no public holidays and fire them...

    Cleaners for luxury property rentals go on strike in Camps Bay

    Problem is it's not a principal that can always, and easily be applied because unless you are able to justify paying x more than y with objective data, y will have sufficient grounds for unfair labor practice (equal work, equal pay). Whilst we on the topic of low income occupations, an entry...

    Cleaners for luxury property rentals go on strike in Camps Bay

    Under SADSAWU - Daily wage for an 8-hour day is R241 for a domestic worker. This is assuming they fall under that union since there are a few but they are mostly in and around that amount. Also article is having them work 7 hours (but depending on the collective agreement, it may be actually 6...

    Cleaners for luxury property rentals go on strike in Camps Bay

    I can agree with that sentiment. Putting what they earn aside, it is no different from any person wanting a 10% increase because their traveling costs to get to work suddenly went up 10%. I also think it's not a fair statement that because they "print" money, they must pay more than they...

    Three dead! Durban dad unleashes gunfire on alleged hijackers in chilling dashcam footage

    That turk spews so much hate one should actually wonder if he isn't a foreign agent with an agenda. Also his AI poster seems to render the face of a person who looks nothing like the actual footage.

    Monthly Solar Production - Show us yours

    Performance is heavily variable but if north facing and within the optimal angle you should be able to get around 90% of that or 8.8kW. I have a 9900kwp system and get 9kw out of them.,

    Homemade Pizza

    Did a bit of a pizza lunch thing with the family today. Tried a new recipe utilizing a biga and now I am not looking back. Stretching was so easy with it holding up very nicely.

    Geely E2 Apex, pull the trigger or am I going mad?

    I actually went through this exercise when looking to replace my Haval and that extra premium (and ROI) was exactly why I ended up going with a petrol car. The options I had on the table was the Sealion 6 (granted it's a PHEV) or Jetour X70. R200k difference between the 2 which I couldn't...
