Perfect timing, we've just replaced the railings on my apartment building, at a 
cost of A$120,000
for 14 units, seven floor building.  Most of the cost was the builders having 
to erect a swing stage
to get to the various levels, plus, for the second time,  rectifying concrete 
cancer where found -
very little, fortunately.  We went for powder-coated aluminium, as the previous

That's a good idea, but it ain't cheap. A home-owner (condo owner) might find 
it feasible when they
have to replace the railings the first time they corrode into nothingness, but 
it's probably just an
unnecessary extra cost from a commercial developer's point of view.

By the time those railings have to be replaced, the developer will have gotten 
his money and been
long gone.

Well ... it was also a play on the old Star Truck meme "Dammit Jim! I'm a
doctor, not a [insert job description here]."

I actually have nothing against lawyers, but lawyer joke are funny.

I understand full well the line from Shakespeare's Henry VI, Part 2 was NOT
a proposal for a good thing. It was a prescription for how the characters
were plotting to overthrow the government planned to implement their
tyranny. They expected lawyers to stand against them in their coup d'état.

FWIW, I tell blond jokes too, and I'm a natural blond.

And, yes Larry, they match.

... and musician jokes. "How do you know when a drummer is at your front
door?"


A-ha! As you were John :-)

Many of the equivalent over here are retained by the developer to rent; in
that case as they are in charge of maintenance it's worth the outlay. If
selling on, as you say above!
