Back in the day when real wood was the only thing available, unlike nowadays, all manufactured goods unless you pay an arm and leg for the real deal! Re: My KDR Metricon Hampshire - Liberty - 45 Melb 202Feb 24, 2017 10:46 pm vuster My dining table I ordered is being made out of Vic Ash which I understand is another name for Tasmanian Oak. 4K just for the table so it definitely has some value! We love hand made natural wood furniture as well. Have solid Jarrah tables, cabinets with Jarrah and Bird eye timber. It matches our Victorian Weatherboard home at the moment, not sure how it's going to be in a Modern Provincial with grey and white colour template in the new home.

Re: My KDR Metricon Hampshire - Liberty - 45 Melb 204Feb 24, 2017 10:56 pm just sand them back and stain them with a colour that matches the home. Maybe a dark chocolate colour.

We don't stain our timber. It's all natural and is only coated with bees wax. The jarrah is already a dark brown colour. Re: My KDR Metricon Hampshire - Liberty - 45 Melb 206Feb 25, 2017 7:06 am Hmm i wouldn't mind trying to reuse or sell off some of my old house but don't you have to worry about asbestos? Re: My KDR Metricon Hampshire - Liberty - 45 Melb 207Feb 25, 2017 7:50 am We tried to sell and give away parts from our old solid brick 1950's house and it was a nightmare. Lots of interest from the advertising, but then people didn't turn up or they would arrange times to come and collect and then never show. Most of our house just went to waste which was really sad. We sold the kitchen and that was it. Couldn't even give the beautiful tassie oak floor boards away! Crazy!!! Demo company came in and did a lot of salvage so no doubt they made money on it!

Not when you give away the things we did. Asbestos is mainly in walls and ceilings.

Re: My KDR Metricon Hampshire - Liberty - 45 Melb 220Feb 26, 2017 8:33 am We were lucky in that our old house was so small (86 square metres) compared to the new house, they were able to take enough readings around the old backyard house before… 8 37676 The biggest challenge will be if you take out a loan and then run out of money - you'll have an incomplete security and lenders do not like this so you can get stuck.… 2 19438 Hi, I am looking into doing a KDR in Melbourne and am contemplating using Kialla Homes.
