I wonder if the wind is coming under the brick sill at the windows and perhaps the flashing (black membrane stuff) is not secured enough, causing it to flap around. Ed A simple question, I have a fair bit of this going on at my place, I am going to use some silicone around the window flashing, is t...

That's french lavendar the flowers are a dead giveaway. Yes they are very hardy, make sure you cut them back hard after flowering so you get nice new growth and not just a woody mess.

I had to do the same thing, check all the joins, retape as necessary you may need to pull the duct back a fraction to the join if they are too short like one of mine was.

Both old and new heaters have a filter and I presume this is standard now. Just need to keep it vacuumed. I wish that was true but it is not, in fact most volume builders don't even have a return air duct, your heater will draw air through a wall cavity, lined very roughly with plaster, out of site...

Yes we have the same issue it is the ducted heating. We have a new house built in 2010 and let me tell you what a great job they did with the ducted heating. It wasn't long before one of the ducts fell off in the roof due to the installers cutting/using some duct that was a bit short and they relied...

I planted Emerald Kikuyu from seed at the start of this year and mine is still looking lush and green which I am very happy about. Are you sure it's even kikuyu you are looking at? Kikuyu from seeds takes a fair while to become a lawn, at least a full season from early spring to mid autum. Kikuyu w...

Bunnings does weird things like stocking an item then all of a sudden you wont see it again at that particular bunnings. Try another bunnings, the one I go to has it, I bought a couple of bags the other day.

I think your after ACQ treated pine sleepers not CCA. CCA are the cheaper of the two. ACQ is still a bit hard to find, Bunnings can order stuff in and they usualy are cheaper than most places, including staright from the manufacturer.

Diluting it when the dog first pees on it works, the problem is who has that much time to sit there watching their dog all day. Not much you can do about it.

Hi all :-) Were also thinking of 'boxing in' the backyard by also planting the conifers around the corner towards the pergola for added privacy. At the moment, species of conifer being planned is "Smaragd", which seems to fit the bill with the soil and climate where we are and the ability...
My only suggestion is don't plant the conifers to hedge as in trim them into a square wall, they will look heaps better...
