Hi Wobbly and Saint Mike Thank you both so much for your replies. I sort of thought it would be around that. Not too bad I suppose. I think if I could get that done, flat pack kitchen and get a metre long window supply and installed for 10K I may be able to get hubbie to agree. Thanks heaps. Caz

Hi All After two years of doing a high end extension we sold the house. We have moved into what I suppose some would call a war service home or bunglow? Our lounge is really small and a friend came up with this great idea to knock the wall down (timber stud) and move the kitchen onto the back landin...

Hi All I did a post below regarding helping my brother to get a loan. Then changed direction and decided to buy the house ourselves for him. This turning into a nightmare. NAB have knocked back our loan as we have a default for my mother in laws phone on our veda file. And due to my son being sick a...

Hi everyone Thanks heaps for your replies. We have decided to go down a different track. We have decided to buy the house ourselves for him. We have a large amount of cash that we can offset against the loan so we only pay interest on like 20K on a interest only loan. We are going to do this for two...

Sorry for the late answer Aubin. I just got bacl from work last night. Unfortunatly (?) I cant help you much with the other types of switches as we went with the saturns and then found out over time what they were like. If you take care with them they work out pretty good. I still love going downsta...

This sounds like to me to be pretty straight forward I think. I am not being sarky with my response. Go to clipsal or even Lawerence and Hanson and get a quote of what they charge. Make sure you have heart defibrelator (?) or tazer on standby to restart your heart. Then ask a sparky how much they ch...

Thanks Mclaren. Thats the kinda thing I was looking for. It seems that I can strike them from cuttings, only problem is the missus wont let me tak any cutting just yet. Even then I have to rely on the good lady to water them. Nope wont happen. A good project for when I'm on holidays. In another 100 ...

Dont know if this helps or not. We just totally gutted our house and there was nothing left of the inside. Kitchen was 40K including appliances. We have stone tops, all drawers with lacquered finish. We didnt go high end appliances as i am not a cooker. Just wanted it to look nice. We have an interg...

Yep definately check your strata laws and get legal advice so you know where you stand. We learnt early on how people will try and pull the wool over your eyes. We have just done an extension, inside reno and yard reno including swimming pool. One neighbour made our lives a living hell. We had to ge...

Hi Mgila, Thanks for your response mate. I hadnt used any gauze tape on the joints, just straight filler. So it seems to me that I have to grind out the joints between the flat sheets and then use the gauze tape then use the acrylic filler that you mentioned. Is this about right? Repainting the whol...

Hello everybody. I have an ongoing problem with the blueboard wall we erected as a privacy screen due to the excessive demands of our neighbours. The privacy wall we erected is timber frame clad in blueboard. It was erected by the tradies who did our decking and alfresco area. The finishing and pain...

Hi Everybody, Just what I hope will be a short question regarding the Songs of India plants we have around our pool. The songs that look great around our pool were doing very very average until I went on a dynamic lifter, el cheapo mulch and watering frenzy for the last month or so. Now they are abs...

Hi IDarren Not sure in Victoria but in our council here in Perth you cant go higher then 6ft without approval from the neighbour. We had a issue with our neighbour who wouldnt allow us to alter the height of the fence when we had the pool put in. So guess what the council told us to do. Come in a me...
