When Geoff and I renovated about fifteen years ago, (well, Geoff renovated and I gave instructions) we were struck by how many things cost 'about a grand'.
How much extra for those different windows?
How much for that pond?
How much to get those lights put in?
How much is that oven?
Seriously - I was starting to say it before I was even told, 'About a grand.'
The air-conditioning packed it in a few weeks back (you can see where this is going can't you?) and the repair guy arrived moments after the cool change - of course. Melbourne has had the longest heatwave on record and we had no aircon.
It needs a new part, that costs 'About a grand.'
We're currently having some drawings done for the next round of renovations and I have a sneaking suspicion that ten years later, that 'about a grand' will now be music to my ears. I'm very afraid....
