I think with ISP's we're pretty much limited to Telstra or Iprimus as there are no Optus ports free on the Tarneit exchange. We haven't done it yet as we have a wireless dongle but I know a few have gone the Dodo route as they are a bit cheaper than Telstra themselves! We've had no problems with dam...

:( :( :( Sorry to read this! We had a ton of issues with our doors as well, we have a timber frame on the front oo, and we finally just gave up getting the builder to rectify. It would seem that as soon as one issue is fixed, another would be caused.. Our front door currently has drips from the stai...

Hi, Just after some advice as to what do with our new garden (to-be). We are located in western suburbs of VIC, and as such have horrible heavy clay soil. We are planning a 100% native + native edible garden at the front of the house and in our nature strip. At the back, we’ll have raised garden bed...

Cypress Sleepers for Vege Beds?Landscape & Garden Design

Oct 15, 2010 12:38 pm

Hi Just wondering if anyone has used cypress timber for vege beds and has any advice as to its suitability? I believe they're supposed to be naturally rot and insect resistant - would be recycled/remilled... Cheers!

been away, sorry for the quiet as well.. We've been delayed again. I think we have COO as of Mon, we'll probably hear from our SS today I would think. M do some internal QA inspections etc etc first as well, so we have to wait for these to happen. We also are expecting our garage door to go on today...

Drove past last night and saw a big pile, looks like they're getting them down really quickly, which is good, hopefully they won't muck around when it comes to putting them back up and things will be back on track sooner rather than later :th:

Not sure if it's a good thing being the first in or not! Oh I think you'd be best to take as many security measures possible and be discreet about your belongings etc for a while to discourage theft.. we won't be too far behind you though and looking at the street, there are a bunch of houses which...
