Nope, can't find anything anywhere else which is why I asked if it was possible for water to travel through the grout over time. If it was a serious amount of water, I'd have found it somewhere else for sure.

If it's growing I'd definitely say its mould. You don't have to have a leak to get mould. Where is the mould growing? Is it on a part of the floor that often gets wet/damp? Interesting, figured it had to be related to water under the tiles. It's all in areas that never get wet unless mopped which i...

Have some white growth coming up through my grout in the main bathroom. I assume there is moisture under the tiles somehow and the white growth is some type of mould. Shower base was constructed on top of the yellow tongue boards (upstairs) Edges were a ~50x50mm long white brick with the screen insi...

Had it 3 years now and no issues. I rarely use the oven myself except for pizza which is great as its wide enough for 2 pizza stones at once. Missus on the other hand has it going with various cakes and roasts constantly. The only complaint I've heard is that due to the internal size of the oven, it...

Current unit is rated at 26lpm (when it works) but not sure at what temp and has suited my needs (when it worked) so I'm sure then rinnai 26 units will be fine.

Thanks, will keep them in mind. Probably just get a classic 26 model rather than the Enviro. Have to do a bit of research on that one to see if the extra outlay is worth while but my gas bills aren't obscene.

Wow that's a pretty strong vote for the rinnai systems! Have to get some quotes. Just make sure you have a good plumber I do now, won't be using the original guy that's for sure.

That's the sort of reliability I'd expect! Excellent. Don't have the controllers now so only way they'd get added is if they have wireless models now. Haven't missed the ability so far but don't know what you're missing if you've never tried it ;)

Currently have a re-branded chromagen T26 gas instantaneous hot water system. Long story short, the plumber assured me of this great deal blah blah and its ended up being the biggest hunk of junk ever. Just under 3 years old and its failed for a 3rd time. Now it will be repaired under warranty in th...

Another good thing to know, we go though plenty of the stuff so won't have any issues spreading it across the patch :)

Damn Fu, that is an awesome amount of info! You've appealed to the tightarse in me, don't need to be told twice to not waste money on the chemicals or plant foods! I'll have to find my way past a livestock feed place to get the Molasses (unless I can use the leftover in the kitchen cupboard from whe...

This Thread carries on from this one... https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?p=700319#p700319 Helpful tip for stopping snails and slugs - I stuck a strip of copper "sticky tape" (from the big green shed, gardening section) around the lip of my raised garden bed and haven't had a slug...

Found dad has one, not sure the brand. He said it was 240v and noisy as hell so grab the earmuffs when I'm there! Will give it a run this w/e and then see if its worth buying my own.

Using straw and molasses is cheap compared to fertiliser prices and the return on investment on them. Sorry I meant the commercial stuff being expensive which is why I'm keen to read up on your previous info :)

TBH I'm not a fan of all those products as they're expensive as well. I'll have a search for your posts and do some reading, thanks :)

My neighbour has a gumtree/eucalypt that just drops leaves constantly. It's bloody annoying and despite him admitting that he'd be happy for it to go, won't even let me remove it (The cost would pay for itself in the long run!). Addtionally come autumn, his elm's drop all the leaves and add MORE mes...

I read it on this forum somewhere that leaving a window upstairs cracked open a bit might help. So in a bedroom furtherst from the stairs, I've found on the 35deg days where the house would be an oven upstairs its now still hot but not as bad. So that little bit of heat being able to escape does hel...

If the carrots were short and deformed I'd lay money you grew them from seedlings rather than seed. We did indeed, we have a new crop in there now from seed so we'll see how that goes. Will start doing more things from seeds as the first crop was just to get things going. There have been 2 mandarin...

That's a pretty good idea. Our space is about 1.8m x 8m long and we've found that we have to give away half the produce because we just can't use it all. Don't use any chemicals and everything tastes great. Still learning though. I think the soil was a bit hard or something as our carrots were very ...
