We did ours diy from wa pool fencing. http://www.wapoolfencing.com.au Was pretty easy to install, saved a fortune, and a few years later still working and looking great.

Utility companies will not install a second meter for a single lot. You will need to install your own sub-meter, and then read this and work out the costs to each tenant. Any decent sparky and gasfitter can install the sub meters, however depending on how the existing cabling and pipework is configu...

What is the "IP Rating" of the light fittings? It should be mentioned on the box or instruction manual.

Check the following info sheet for some guidelines, and speak to your local council building dept as they may be able to provide a similar info sheet. http://www.kalamunda.wa.gov.au/files/386255ef-dfba-4bff-ac62-a16300e5fcab/13BLDInfoSheet13_CovertHabitable.pdf Neil..

Any change in use is going to need to comply with the BCA to get council approval, which im pretty sure is going to require removal of the slab and waterproof membrane installed underneath the new slab (0.2mm polyethylene film). If you are doing work yourself and with help from friends then 17k is r...

How about a Vapotec steam sensor? Ive never used one myself, but the idea seems good, and they are pretty cheap. Anyone tried them? Pezz..

All of the brand name motion sensors will have adjustable timers that usually range from several seconds up to several hours. This is the whole point of using a motion sensor! Check the specs for any of the clipsal range. Pezz..

Why not just connect it up via a motion sensor? Pezz..

I recently did a subdivision and used the services of Scanlan Survey Midland for surveying and Structerre Consulting for soil test. Both provided great service. Pezz..

If it was me I would just dig small test holes from the main water supply pipe and follow the pipe to where the valves are. Should take less than 30 mins to find the valves on even a large block, as once you dig a couple of holes it should be pretty easy to determine the direction the pipework takes...

We recently had a pool installed by Leisure (Moroccan 10.4m) and were very happy with the results. We shopped around all the different manufacturers and Leisure had the best design and size we liked, and without all of the sales gimmicks that some of the others were trying to push. Yes, they do seem...

Our council recently installed speed humps on our street, which I initially though would be a great idea to reduce traffic and speeding on our street. Unfortunately: * There was no reduction in the number of cars using the street * Noise was greatly increased, both from hoons taking off too fast fro...

A year or so back when I lived down Cockburn way I used Robert from safety switch electrical services and was pretty happy with the price and service.

Yeah, Ive seen it extended to toilet/laundry areas aswell. Provided the existing concrete is solid, I have just filled any holes with concrete and then laid a new sand/cement screed on top of that for tiling. If its been fairly solid for 30 odd years then I cant see any reason to remove and put new ...

I think its quite common with older houses the bathroom was never concreted as part of the main slab, and just ends up with a thin layer of concrete when the time came for tiling? Atleast thats what ive found with several older houses ive owned in Perth.

Having recently had some bobcat work done, I found most in Perth were charging around $80 per hour plus tip fees, with a 2 or 3 hour minimum charge for any job.

Im currently looking to replace my concrete tiled roof with colorbond. Anyone have any experience with Perth companies and can provide recommendations? Pezz
