Thank you, i went with dulux half celery, its ok, a bit limey, i want a bit more olive, but everyone likes it. Think i will just do white trim, too scared to pick another colour. :lol:

Would Dulux Frisky and Breezy Half or Quarter look good together ?

Today, i undercoated our sunroom, it faces west with a bushland outlook, we use this room for toy storage, kids do craft in there and we keep a couple of chairs and our shoes in a cupboard, there is lots of windows, it has wood panelling on 3 walls. I am thinking of putting ikea trofast shelves for ...

Thanks, here is a pic of the back, there is more brickwork at front as it slopes down a little, i didn't take a pic of the front as its not finished yet ! Do u think grey underneath will go with an earthy colour roof, its terracotta tiles? There will be wood panelling under where u can see under the...

Hi, i need some help please to choose an exterior colour for our old fibro cottage, i painted the exterior fibro walls in dulux surfmist, i just choose that colour on a whim as i got it on special, can anyone please suggest a colour to go with it on the lower brickwork, something nice to go with pla...

Cool, i might use that for inside and they suggested a surface binder and taubmans endure at Bristol for the exterior.

I also saw this paint which is supposed to be guaranteed for 5 yrs against mould growing :shock: http://www.doittv.com.au/s2ep12/zinsser.html http://www.doittv.com.au/content/s2ep12/z2.jpg any reviews on this paint, anyone used it? will ask them at Bristol about it too.

Thank u, they got Belian as it looked nicest in the photos they sent us.

Ok, i think i will as i need as much help as i can get :lol: today i cleaned a section with the karcher and broom, its almost a bare surface, a bit greeny but dad reckons that might be some old paint, don't have any sugar soap, so will get that 2moro and do it again.

Ok i will wait thanks :)

oh ok i see, i was just googling then and lots of brands came up now. i have a local bunnings, i might ring and see which both recommend. thanks. :D

Thank u for that, so for the outside is this the paint? http://www1.valspar.com/image/component/ProductComponent/productLargeImage/1/4927750.jpeg I think with prep will only go as far as brushing down with stiff broom and wet karcher as there may be a small % asbestos in fibro.

Ok, thanks for that, i have a greenhouse to put them in, my dad has a plant nursery, reckons its too cold, just aldis has them on special this week, :( will try a few plants in the hot house.

Was thinking of buying some tomato plants this week, is it too early for cherry or roma varieties, we are in the northern beaches area, also thinking of getting basil?

Thanks, some of the fibro is bare, some is painted, its patchy outside, inside whenever it peels we patch it up and paint it, outside i am thinking of spraying it down with high pressure water hose and scrubbing stiff broom, then might try a primer, think might try oil based paints. in the past have...

Just asking for my parents, they are replacing the wood boards on their verandah, the house is old weatherboard and heritage listed now, they were givin a few choices of merbau, yellow stringbark, belian, cyprus pine, which would be best to use please?

Hi i am wanting to paint our old fibro house but paint doesn't seem to want to stick, have tried some products in past like eb to add to paint but still paint lifts, we have only tried acrylic paints would we have more luck with oil based one ? there is a bit of porosity to the fibro and some mould ...

We have decided to postpone our building plans and keep saving, does anyone have one of these accounts and which bank gave you the best deal? :th:

Ok we have 2 people in mind, one is a relative who is a lic builder, the other is a good friend who is a carpenter. We want to buy a kit home and have someone else build it.
