Can anyone recommend a shed builder who can help us. Looking for someone who is end to end and will come out to site to work out what needs to be done. We will need someone who can help with retaining walls as the land is on a gentle slope.

They're expecting rain tomorrow during the show. Does anyone here know if this may be a muddy sloshy mess after 6+ hours? I got a ticket, keen to go, not keen to be a drenched mess slipping through mud. Or do they lay down rubber matting to protect the grass?

Council installed a smart water meter on our property a few months ago and notified us by mail of a leak around the same time. We contacted a plumber who repaired the leak which was located a couple of metres on our side of the property. As a result we’ve received a massive water rates notice. We’ve applied for a discount via the TRC portal.

Just seeing if anyone else is in the same boat?

Saw it get painted white a few months ago and then gone. Does anyone know where it has been moved or what happened to it?

I recently moved from Melbourne and it’s so happening there😭 I have already been to the Japanese garden, flower festival, and the carnival. I want some suggestions to stargaze or probably get some late night desserts! I am at my wits end here, thanks in advance!

I'm looking to get into mountain biking and am looking for someone who teaches adult MTB skills for absolute beginners.

Let me know your recommendations.

The smoke in the area lately has made for some nice sunsets. 🤞🏽 for some rain this week.

Does anyone commute to Brisbane from Towoomba everyday for a 9-5 job? If so, hit me up! Looking for a carpool!

I went to the Oktoberfest Field Daze event yesterday and was very disappointed for a couple of big reasons (first band didn't play German music, and lines over an hour long at both bars was a doozy), but the one that stood out to me was the fact that, even though absolutely everything, from the ticket conditions to the advertising, said the event was STRICTLY 18+, there were minors in attendance (at least 3 children under 2 years old). Whilst I was there, I saw one baby in a pram, one baby in a baby sling, and a toddler. At one point, I saw the toddler running off holding a stein, and another time, the toddler bolted outside without an adult with them. One of the Red Frog people almost ran the child over because they didn't see them.

As an attendee, I was under the clear impression that there would be no minors. I feel incredibly uncomfortable being intoxicated around minors, which is why I was so glad the event was 18+ so that I could safely enjoy the beverages on offer guilt-free. The minors were brought to the attention of 3 different security staff and the event organiser. The event organiser said that the children could be there because the law around liquor licensing and private events allows those under 18 months. This may be true, but look at the advertising. It clearly advertised that there would be no minors allowed, with no listed exceptions.

People had steins of alcohol sitting around because it would have been safe to assume there wouldn't be any kids. Not to mention, as the event was advertised as 18+, anyone that may not legally be allowed near minors would've assumed it was safe for them to attend. These children being at the event put them in serious danger.

I have loved the Field Guide's other events, like The Field Game and Capture the Flag. This one though, left me not only disappointed, but honestly upset. As the name suggests, I've probably overreacted, but I can't be the only person that felt this way, right?

Taken last week.

I noticed some pretty mad amounts of smoke from the Murphy's Creek area, hope everyone is OK.

I visited Laurel Bank a few times recently and noticed religious booklets left around. Wondering if this is considered littering and if the garden workers would ignore it or bin it?

why are we charged a video matching fee? these extra fees for using the toll road?
where do we go to dispute this unadvertised fee?

Sweet fuzzball not happy about the lights and late night Carnival goers.

Job market sucks

Last year Carnival had a pink butterfly chair near the canon at Botanic gardens. Is it back there again this year?

Looking to have a few family photos clicked inside a photo studio. Would anyone recommend a place that would not charge me an arm and a leg?

Hi everyone,

Just cleaning up a bit and round my original Xbox. Version pre 1.6. If you are still reading here you would probably be well aware about the faulty capacitor.

I'm pretty keen to cut it out and clean the mother board but don't have the right screwdrivers. If possible I'd love to borrow someone's tools or even pay someone to do it for me. If you are a bit of a tinkerer yourself I'd love to chat. I enjoy working with old tech and find it pretty interesting.

Not sure if anyone can or would even like to help me out but I thought I'd put it out there.

Per the title, I'm looking for a school.or private instructor in Toowoomba (or surrounds).

I've done some googling, and failed to find anything that seems like the school/instructor are active.

PM's are fine for responses, but comments below would be better for others who may have similar questions in future.
