【澳洲生活】其實當我們在中美洲旅行時，York 其中一棟投資房的水管被樹根破壞掉😨 現代的水管都是塑膠，但五十幾年的老房子都是陶瓷水管，因此有縫隙讓樹根有機可趁😖 由於房子整個散發出惡臭，必須趕緊處理！ 但沒想到水管工挖到以廢棄的化糞池，必須移除，因此明明才三十萬澳幣的房子卻花了AUD$8000+ 澳幣修復水管... 這個投資房目前完全是虧錢...😥

由於修復水管破壞了磁磚，如果重新舖磁磚的話要 AUD$6000，而水泥則是AUD$1900😱 於是 York 決定回去澳洲時自己弄。 因此在旅行最後一個禮拜，他根本心不在焉，每天都在看如果弄水泥的影片，那裡買材料，多少錢等💰 記得剛認識 York 時他是一個什麼都付錢叫人修理的少爺，看到他現在會自己 DIY 真的覺得我的男人長大了😭

所以一回到澳洲，York 就一個人去買 300KG 的水泥，訂了 2000KG 的砂石，租台水泥攪拌器👀 當天還因為怕我會笨手笨腳的所以叫我待在家😅 從早上八點離開，一個人奮鬥到下午三點，直到他朋友下班後過來幫他攪水泥😆

而且房客整天不在家，天黑以後根本沒有燈可以照明😖 兩個男生只能用手機的手電筒直到工作結束為止🔦 我隔天去的時候真的很驚訝做的還不錯！ 等到下次要找房客的時候再把水泥跟磚漆成同個顏色，應該會比較好租😆 不過 York 身體整個攤掉，說這錢真的不好賺啊 😂 #澳洲投資房 #DIY #澳洲藍領很好賺

So while we were away on our trip, roots got into the old ceramic pipes in one of our investment properties 🙄 Everything had to be re-done and it was unfortunate that the plumber ran into a septic tank as well😑

Overall the job costed York AUD$8K to fix it... AUD$1.9K was then quoted to re-concrete the paving, tiling was quoted AUD$6K😱

So during the last week of our trip, York was just reading up on how to do concreting 😅 YouTube, articles, forums, everything he could get his hands on🙌

As soon as we got back to Adelaide, he bought 2000KG of sands and 300KG of cement, as well as hiring a concrete mixer👀 Luckily Reece was able to come in the afternoon to help him out with mixing, I just stayed at home cz York said I would be useless 😅

The boys only finished after 7pm and the tenants weren't home, so they had to use their phones as flashlights to complete the work🔦 I went the next day to help York scrub some concretes off the tiles as well as removing the plastics he used to cover the pipes😌 Very proud of his work, if we were to get new tenants, we prob will just paint the tiles as well as concretes 😂 #DIY #builderinmaking #concrete
