Episode #36 The Drive Home to the Hawkesbury with Rachael Goldsworthy – peeling paint in bathrooms

14 August, 2016 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy


Good morning, good afternoon or good evening, depending on when you’re watching this video. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy, checking in with you on the drive home to Hawksbury, and I’m in a different location, in a bathroom. Just wanting to show you an exhaust fan which is just up here. There we go, just up there you can see, and that exhaust fan is a little bit dirty.

Now, the reason I bring that to your attention, and it might seem a really simple thing, but if those exhaust fans aren’t cleaned properly they can’t take the [00:00:30] air, the hot air um that’s rising out of the bathroom when you’re having the shower, the condensation into the cavity of the roof and take it away from the ceiling. Because what happens is that condensation gathers on the ceiling and then eventually it will cause peeling on the ceiling in the bathroom, which is a, quite a common thing when people-, I know wintertime comes and you don’t want to turn the fan on because it’s a little bit cool and those sorts of things, but it also has a flow-on effect if you’re not turning the fan on on a regular basis. Summertime’s a little bit easier; [00:01:00] you want to turn the fan on cause it makes the place nice and cool as you’re having a shower as well, but equally, this is just an important thing to mention to people when they’re having a shower and using and looking after the, the maintenance of a rental property.

Anyway, if you have any other questions in regards to property management or maintenance of properties, I’m more than happy to help. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy, and I look forward to catching up with you on the next video.

Episode #35 The Drive Home to the Hawkesbury with Rachael Goldsworthy – Maintaining Air Conditioners

14 July, 2016 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy


Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening, depending on what time you’re watching this video. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy, checking in with you on the drive home to Hawkesbury. And today I’ve hopped out of my car and into somebody’s lounge room, just to show you in regards to air conditioners. Now air conditioners are a great invention, because they keep us cool in summer and nice and toasty warm in winter, but when they’re not working, (sigh), it makes us a little bit frustrated with the process, so we want to get that maintained well [00:00:30] so that we don’t have or we have minimal breakdowns on that machine.

One of the things that’s quite common if the air conditioner’s not heating or cooling to temperature, sometimes it can be as simple as cleaning the air filter. And what I’ve done is I’ve lifted the top section of the air conditioner, the front section of it with the two clips on either side, and then you’ll notice that that has actually exposed the three filters that are within the air conditioner.

It’s a really simple thing to do if you’re experiencing the air conditioner either not heating [00:01:00] or cooling correctly. Sometimes it’s as simple as taking that filter out, washing it under some warm water, and then putting it back in, and you’ll find that that temperature comes on correctly. Other things that may be wrong with it is the gas that is not to the height that it should be within the unit, so that needs a mechanic to actually assess that.

Um, another thing that can happen is you can sometimes get a water leak from that when the overflow is blocked, and that will come back through the unit, rather than exiting [00:01:30] through the usual channels that it does outside through the overflow. Anyway, that’s a couple of things that may help you with your air conditioners. Always best to stay on top of the maintenance. It’s like driving a car. If you don’t get it serviced regularly, it’s not going to look after you or drive you to where you wanted to be. Same thing with the air conditioner. If you don’t look after it regularly, it’s not going to keep you hot in winter and cool in summer.

Anyway, if you’ve got any questions in regards to air conditioners or the mechanics that need to … You can call [00:02:00] to help you with that process. We’re more than happy to put you in contact with them and answer any questions that you have. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy, and I look forward to catching up with you on the next video.

Episode #26 The Drive Home to the Hawkesbury with Rachael Goldsworthy – Gas Hot Water

27 June, 2016 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy


Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening, depending on when you’re watching this video. It’s Rachael Goldsworthy on the drive home to Hawkesbury, and just checking in with you. A question that we had in regards to a tenant who just moved into a property, which I thought I’d share. It’s a fairly simple question, however sometimes it’s the simple things that are the hardest to work out.

This tenant moved into the property and they went to use the gas appliances and there was no gas. They thought that they may have run out of gas, so they ordered more gas, and what it turned out to be: the hot water services wasn’t working because the gas pilot light had gone out on there. Always check the gas pilot light before worrying as to whether you’ve run out of gas or those sorts of things. It can be a fairly simple fix, as they say, but one of those things that can be sorted out very quickly.

Anyway, have a great day, and I look forward to catching up with you on the next video. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to give me a call, always love to talk about property.
