hi, everyone just thought who can give me some advice re the fencing: - our next door (vacant land) is sold recently, but take 90 days to settle, the previous owner understandably didn't want to pay for the fence, directs us to the agent. we were informed by the agent that the upcoming owner wouldn'...

sorry, guys, what i meant was the fencer will definitely use treated pines, rather than anything else - non-treated. but hoffie was right, i'd better specify or confirm with them.

congratulation, stormy, finally! i am in the stage of "after hand-over", so get excited ::smile:: :z: :z:

thanks, hoffies. would love not to have the sleepers if it's okay, wondering why people want it - the rationale behind it

hey bel, i am thinking of the same thing as we were told our clay sort of soil is no good for any decent gardening (i want a small vegie patch, lemon tree, some other flowering/low maintenance plants) so thinking whether i should get the soil changed before the fencing :? and u know the biggest ques...

:: :: hey, hoffies, so it has to be treated pine, the fencer can't be using otherwise, can they? nh

what? is this going to be a worry? well, i thought they are all covered, where is the termite mesh? i thought it's just a spray thing (we built with PD) is there any worry? :shock:

thlo wrote: I am no expert but timber in soil is asking for trouble in terms of termites. One other option is, to use timber fence but with steel post, then it would certainly be much stronger and hopefully less chance of termite problem. good ideas, didn't think of the termite problem, but now i t...

hi, woodsey my house - tiler is doing the tiling at the moment, carpet going in late next week, driveway and side/back path concreting should be finished mid next week if the weather can be fine for a way or two. so maybe moving in early Oct. :) then my list of "to do: is: letter box, clothline...

thank everyone, thlo, maybe because you are in sydney (great to be in sydney i "colourbond terms" :lol: ), in Melb, seems to be anywhere from $65-70 soemthing. woodsey, long time no see, how r u and how is the house? nh

i got a quote today: 1.8m high colour bond with sleeper underneath cost just over $86 per meter, but if i chose no wooden sleeper underneath, just 1.8m high coloubond, cost $67.6 per meter are these reasonable? is the wooden sleeper necessary? nh

thanks, everyone for your reply! elastic, do u mind PM me your mate's deail? buildingadreamhome, i'm tempted to do that but thought may be a bit over the top :P :lol: :lol: Dukekamaya, thanks for the prices, that's the material, how about the labour? what is a general charge, if u know? cheers nh

we have a dilema here, one side of the neighbour wants coloubond fence, but another side of the neighbour wants plain timber. we would like the colourbond as almost everyone is having colourbond in our street, can anybody suggest how to approach this other guy? he seems to be stubbon and don't don't...

meza, our splashback will stay the way it is - as the hog britsle won't show on my clear glass - tiny bit if any. so we have to take whatever it looks like. (we got a sample back, and not much difference, so that's it, hope we'll get used to it quickly. but to my eyes, if you have paid for starfire,...

hey, overwhelmed just wondering what is the path that they do your vent, i mean, the silver collapsible one, where is the path they are laying the tube? ps, i need to tell you that the vent for the master ensuite, they put in in a much later time - somewhere outside on the brickwall close to the mas...

I doubt even the fulll hog bristle may not show through the clear glass. mr impression is it has to be sth htat's much darker nh

would be very interested to know what exactly is the standard, if it is a requirement of the law, then builders should comply. i am wonderinh why many builders don't take this issue seriously - i mean, those "independent inspections". even in the design of the house - the architecture part...

if u wouldn't mind paying the extra $$$, yes, go with starfire, it will reflect your chosen colour, alternatively, if you with a really dark colour n clear glass, it will be ok too. i have chosen Hog Bristle 1/2, it doesn't show much on my splashback, had i known i would have chosen a much darker on...

hey joey that's a great idea! hmmm, how do u think the rumpus room wall on the alfresco, i am thinking of that area beign utilised as a outdoor barbie or some sort :th: nh
