Re: Advantages/Disadvantages of living next to a town centre ?General Discussion

Apr 28, 2009 8:49 am

Ive lived close to two BIG shopping centres in my life and my only concern was the Airconditioners running 24/7. The ones at Casuarina Shopping Centre in Darwin (biggest centre in Southern Hem at the time) were especially noisy, however after a short period of time you actually never heard them...wh...

I was at an auction yesterday and some of the prices Aluminium angle and other shapes went for were very large. Out of my price range. So from what I said previously regarding p...

Thanks for that Ed. A good company by the looks. Unfortunately Im 700kms from the nearest supplier and freight isnt usually too cheap out this way. Will definetly look into it though come Monday.

Aluminium Window Frame Protruding from Wall...Ideas?Windows & Doors

Apr 17, 2009 10:37 am

Gday all. Ive got these windows unfortunately put in very badly by the previous owners (#326a previous owner stuffup), they are protruding around 10mm or so. Looks like poo.
