Local man Todd has expressed his joy at “finally feeling like a true sandgroper” after staining the bricks, fence and power boxes of his property with that familiar red hue that Perth loves so much.
Todd was forced to install a bore last year in an effort to ease financial pressure with the cost of living. What he didn’t realise is that he was also getting the ol Perth paint job as a bonus extra. He told The Times,
“Wow, look at that stain. If you saw that in your grundies you’d be pretty concerned, wouldn’t ya? Ha ha, not on bricks though, looks lovely, I always wondered what my property was missing and now I know what”
The new paint job is the talk of the street with many neighbours thanking Todd for “coming to the party”. We spoke to Gary who had done absolutely fark all about his bore water stains for the better part of 3 decades. He told The Times,
“I think we like to be reminded of the power of iron. Whether it’s in ore or its staining our properties, it’s a real WA powerplay. The entire state is basically this colour so why not my house? Beautiful I reckon”
We asked Todd if he had any plans to get to work removing the stains. He scoffed and said it would be a cold day in hell before he got rid of them.
Todd has also moved his white hatchback onto the verge to get a little spray job itself. Musing that a bore stained hatchy is worth at least twice on the private seller market.
Judging by the prices being sought, you might be right Todd, you might be right.
