Re: Need your opinion about our paversPaving & Concreting

No unacceptable. The tiles you saw from the display are nice and smooth, blemish free. It reminds me of going in for a facial and coming out with freckles/spots on your face. All the best. Fight for what you want and no I would not be paying for delivery. Thanks Dollar. You are definitely right.. t...

The display paver almost looks like a light mango or teakwood sandstone (name depends on supplier). One thing to remember with natural stone is that batches are different. Those display pieces would of been hand picked for the best colour our of the same pallet. Having said that the spots shouldn't...

Hi I was just googling how to clean my clay pavers and came across a site which had photos of your pavers and as I had just finished reading your thread recognized them. Scroll down to "Litchens" ... looks exactly the same?? http://www.pavingexpert.com/maintain_02.htm ps. I also noticed i...

that's what we asked for in our complaint to CAV.. either replace or return our money. however, because they were claiming there's nothing wrong with the pavers, they will charge us 20% of the total price. initially they said the were supposed to charge us 20% but decided not to. it would be good if...

Personally I would pay for the delivery, only because those would make me cry..... and make it clear that you're not happy and won't be recommending them to anyone (do this after you get the pavers). VJ...what if the next lot are the same? Is it a possibility. Have you thought of travertine? suh, i...

thanks mapcalla, tudenrain and suh... i was really so upset by this.. i won't lay those pavers in my backyard. they were actually willing to replace, but were suggesting a plain-looking pavers instead. but that's the reason why we chose that paver.. because of the variation (but not too much spots!)...

bit hard to tell from the pic. Try using a weak bleach solution 10.1 ratio if it is mould then the bleach will take the colour out, but wont remove the mould, then use a pressure cleaner but be carful not to get to close to surface as it will damage. The pavers delivered look like they are totally ...

We finally decided to pave our alfresco area... and after looking at different types of pavers at different shops.. we decided to purchase sandstone pavers (here they are as displayed): http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee368/venieruta/pavers/Sahara_Display_allx.jpg http://i1224.photobucket.com/al...

Just planted the Eureka (dwarf) yesterday.. prefer it over Myer (thinner skin)... because of the thicker skin (good for cooking) and really heavy cropper! Rellies have them both and they prefer Eureka.

Thankyou VJ! Paint colour is 'Nomadic Ivory' by Bristol....very similar to Hogs Bristle only warmer. We are pretty pleased with the way the colours have turned out, and I hope it compliments the carpet and floorboards and all my furniture! The ensuite is quite big, and we made it smaller because we...

Stormy, I missed a lot!!! I love your wall paint colour - what is it again? Love your splashback, floor tiles look great, very nice stairs.. everything looks great! Very nice colour selection! Gosh, your ensuite looks so huge! We have a big ensuite, but I think it's only half of yours!

Something similar happened with our fridge... Its a Whirlpool, not particularly all that new, and worked perfectly at the old house. When we plugged it in at the new place, it didnt work.. Had someone come in and fix it, cant remember how much.. Basically if I can remember well, old houses have no ...

The $55 doesn't include any time in it? Like the first half an hour? Not yet... it's just the call out fee... another quote i got just today... $88 call out fee including 1st quarter hour... then $22 per quarter hour... so almost the same as the 1st quote.

I don't know about $80 to fix it, but they should be able to tell you the issue pretty quick. That's what i'm worried here... electrician's quote was $55 per visit then $20+/15 minutes. What if it takes more than an hour to fix it? And because it's a rental unit, what if the only fix is to do somet...

The circuit the fridge is plugged into would be over loaded another friend of ours lent them a newer fridge (smaller too) and it didn't trip... what could be the reason that our older fridge tripped the circuit breaker, but not the newer fridge? if it's overloaded, and our friend is renting the pla...
