Robin and Kidd Now with Correos the Podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
So I am renovating my one hundred and twenty year
old Queenslander. She was a tiny little thing with two
bedrooms and one bathroom and I haven't done massive extensions,
but just a little bit. So I added a bathroom,
thank goodness, because the main bathroom of the house I
turned into a non suite. And during the reno's I thought,
I'll just do this one quickly. I'm going to paint it.
(00:48):
I've padded a beautiful blue. I added a chandelier because
that's what I do. And I put in a new
vanity and I thought she's good. And I've been using
it as my own suite and I love it. However,
I'm putting on a back deck. And my wonderful beard
of Jack, who's an old school builder and is very meticulous,
came to me a few days ago and says, mate,
(01:09):
we got a problem. So the bathroom would have been
brought inside in the sixties, I reckon, because they always had.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Our back loose sixty years ago.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yeah, right, So it was at the back end of
the house and so the deck I'm putting on is
going to be going from there.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
And he said, come and have a look at this.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
So we went under the house and he pretty much
could put his finger through the floorboards of the.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Bathroom where they were so soft.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Yeah, they were so rotten.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
And the only reason he said, mate, I am so
surprised you haven't fallen through this. And the only reason
why you haven't is because it was tiled on top, right.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
And they're just toiled straight on the floorboard.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Straight on the door.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
No. One.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Most important thing is they didn't water proof and so
now not only is the entire floor rotted, but they do.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Think that it's come up the walls.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yes, so now it's destruction of the bathroom which can
only now be accessed by a tiny little or into
my from my walking wardrobe. So in the next four
days I have to strip my walk in wardrobe.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
They've then got it.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
You've been smart.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
The same stuff every day.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I've got to move into another bedroom, the other bedroom,
and everything has to be taped up because they've got
to take all the toils off the wall.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
They've got to totally remove the floor.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
A new bathroom.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, it is a new bathroom.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
And and I've said to him, I can't get any
more money. I've had to ask Mum the budgets twenty
five kays.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Ask dad for money.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I'm so bad.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Four My question is this, you know, and it could
be so much better than news than what I have.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
But what did you find in your house?
Speaker 6 (03:03):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Did you remove a wall and uncover a million dollars?
Speaker 6 (03:08):
Nice?
Speaker 7 (03:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Other than story?
Speaker 4 (03:10):

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Okay? Okay?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
And I know you found something terrible?
Speaker 6 (03:14):

Speaker 2 (03:20):
I come in from Lowood? What happened?
Speaker 7 (03:23):
So?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
My son was told to go to bed one night
he was in trouble and he decided we had an
old vanity that you could access the back from and
he decided to put his hand up the back and
he pulled out a container and I said, where did
you pull that from? And I'm like, bring it here,
because I didn't know what was in it. And we
(03:46):
opened it very suspiciously because we just bought the house
and we opened it and back in I think it
was nineteen sixty they're all the old twenty cent all
the old fifty cent pieces were round. Oh yeah, it
was a full container full and I had them valued
(04:06):
at seven thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, that happened in that's amazing.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
And obviously you let your son keep the whole seven thousand.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Yeah, I've got them still here.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
It was joking, but wow, good, wow, that is so amazing.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Okay, thirteen six five, What did you find career?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Similar? Not?
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Not? Yeah, So when I bought my first house, you
get all your pests in your building inspections, and the
builders noticed there's water damage in the wall. Okay, and
it was obvious the wall was a bit thiscolored, and
you know, you standard your water damage.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Look, I guess.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
And then my old man's a builder, and my brother say,
I had them do me ren. I pulled out my
bathroom and as we're pulled out there, I just went
have a look at this. I'm oh, no, he is
an it's fixed.

Oh they already fixed it.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
That it was all fixed. There was no there was
no leg nothing.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
You ripped off walls for no reason.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
No, well, I was always reading the bathroom. It's I
got like thirty forty grand knocked off the a price
because the guy said, I couldn't be bothered, mate, you
can just take it.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
All I had to do is replace the.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Oh that's such a win out of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, but it's not always a win.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
No.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I found something in a house that we're about to demolish.
I'll tell you what it was. Actually I didn't find it, Raff.
It is, I'll tell you.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
About it is dangerous.
Speaker 3 (05:32):

Right after this, my brother, who lives in Oxford, England,
has been renovating his house for thirty odd years.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
He does it all himself.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
And he pulled a wall out, and of course the
English history is huge. He found a Roman coin.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
That's awesome.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Why not.
Speaker 6 (05:53):
Yeah, that's a lot better than what we found in
our place. Yeah, we're about to This is just before
we demolished, and I was out in the yard. I
was mowing the lawn because it was out of control,
just basically just for the neighbors. And then Raff was
running around inside the house, which is completely empty. He
comes running outside with a meth pipe in his hand,
(06:16):
and he's like.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Dad, what's this, goes to put it in his mouth,
he sucked it out of his hand.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
And I'm like, and he had like he had silver
stuff on his hands and I'm like, why should you
know going crazy washing them? And yeah, so, yeah, I
can tell why the neighbors were so thrilled when we
bought the.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Oh yeah, anyone's better than the meth.

To drop the stuff in and he just screams, dandelsa stop.

more there was. But it was already sunsetting and they
needed to dump the rubbish, so they didn't.

Oh, no temptation to go back the next day.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
Well that was it. That was the last day. They're
already flattening the door. Yeah, but yeah, that was the
last moment. He just jumped in the truck to say
