Size of pendant lightsLighting + Lighting Design

Jul 18, 2015 10:46 pm

Help please :) We are currently building a new home and I've asked the builder to install 3 pendant lights above our island bench (rough size of bench is 3m x 0.8m). I haven't chosen the exact fittings yet and I'm really stuck on what size to get. I was hoping some of you could offer your advice or ...

Small bathroom renovation - is this possible?Bathrooms and Laundry

Jun 11, 2012 1:21 pm

We are planning to renovate our small bathroom and I have come up with a design that I think will work (albeit tight) however most of the builders I have had it say it will fit but that it will be too small. If we are going to renovate, I need to get in a bath and toilet as we have kids and our othe...

Re: Asbestos in Carpet UnderlayGeneral Discussion

Hi Jetson, in the end I did get brave and remove a sample myself - I dropped it in to a lab for analysis yesterday so I should know for sure tomorrow or Friday latest. Fingers crossed our underlay was one of the many that weren't made from the contaminated hessian. You are quite right about asbestos...

Thanks for taking the time to look, in all likelihood its nothing but I just have James Hardie's recycling of hessian bags into carpet underlay in the back of my mind... Assume most of it was laid in WA homes but still, better to be sure I think!

Thanks for your reply. I really hope I don't have anything to worry about. This is a photo of it http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/6535/19741263.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us I forwarded it to my father (he's a builder) and he thinks it look suspect.

Asbestos in Carpet UnderlayGeneral Discussion

Jun 04, 2012 10:19 am

Hi there, Just wondering if there is anyone in Victoria that has found asbestos in their older style carpet underlay? My husband and I bought a house 12 months ago which dates to the 50's - we ripped up all the carpet before we moved in and had the boards polished. The carpet we removed was installe...
