Seeded lawns can end up a bit patchy for a few reasons- birds eating the seed, the seed being broadcast in more places than other, wind/water moving it away from various areas. Was the seed raked into the top layer of soil? Sure was raked in. I really just need to know if it's ok to mow it already?...

So what was your verdict on the grass??? Is it looking ok, not too bad, great??? What do I need to do from here on in apart from getting rid of the soaker hose that I have only just bought... :roll: bugger! Is it mowable now??? Or is it too soon? Should the cordy be kept out of full sun then being t...

Oh yeh, grind them out... and repair with 'Epoxy', does he mean the control joints? I wonder :th: If that is what he intends to do, then that will defeat the purpose of 'control jointing'. 'Control jointing' is an action that provides a line for which the impending crack will follow. If he intends ...

Just going through this also... As per the fences act 1968 you are legally abliged to issue a "Notice of intent to erect boundary fence" letter to your neighbours sent via registered/signed mail (these details you get from your council if you do not know there address) you also need to att...

Hi Lex concretor supplied materials and labour. I have spoken to him today and he has told me he will grind them out a bit more and use a product called eproxy to fill them in, not sure if this is the way to go but he said he will be back this week but with this weather I highly doubt it. The other ...

Hi Onc and other homeone members, Here I am, 2 months after moving into our lovely new home with a huge disapointment with the perimiter concrete. We decided to go with 260m2 of black concrete which the concretor poured in three pours due to staff and weather, the first pour went really well and sti...

Considering your listed inclusions, compared to what we're paying, that sounds quite reasonable... Our house is 32sq... doesn't include window furnishings, driveway/landscaping... we're paying $265k I know!! It sounds very reasonable- thats why I am thinking maybe the allowances aren't enough.

Hmmmm very interesting read. Our roof colour is "Loft", so a mid dark tone I guess, we have R4.1 insulation in the roof and get quiet a few 40+ degrees days here. We're not worried, will just wait and see I guess.
