My own front verandah I have 190x45 bearers spanning 2.7 continuous, also certified. Is that a single 190x45 and double up 2 x190x45?

I have used 140x45mm a couple of times on its own as a bearer spanning 1.8 continuous and it was rock solid. Are they middle bearer or side bear? If I am using 190x45 TP for the bearer and joist, does the Joist can single span 2.6m and single bearer continuous span at 2.8m? I have read Allan's span...

I am just come across this post, and have the same question. I am planning a 9m (long) x 2.6(width)m deck off ground 280mm and using 140x45mm TP as bearer and joist, the bearer direct sit on the stirrup, and the joist will butt joint with the bearer using joist hanger. The joist will single span 2.6...

Thanks Fu, I am more comfortable now. I wills start to fed the lawn with powerfeed and seasol ever two week for next month or so.

So how do I go above the straw like? When it laid, it looked good serveral months. Then it happened in last two months and only part of them. I did not used any fertilising, herbicides and not over watering, only last week, I start to use powerfeed and seasol to feed them.

If you only want one or two, and they are to be more of a feature tree, may I suggest the forest pansy? It grows up to 3-4m max and has lovely big heart shaped leaves that transform in colour from a deep plum to dark red/orange/yellow. We really like this one too, but we still need to select 2 out ...

I rung and spoke to HG Turf this morning and they told me that it is looking very straw like so it will be a while away yet (4-5 weeks) the cost is $10 per square metre and $77.00 for delivery. I am a bit worried though that it dies right off during winter. Is there a grass that stays pretty green ...

Apologies if this has been asked before (and for bumping this thread): If I'm having a "charged system" (building with Cl@rendon) built in with my house, does it have to be connected to the laundry as part of the BASIX compliance? I'm not to keen on having to use rainwater to wash my clot...

Recently I just laid 350m2 Empire Zoysia , it is very nice and cost $4 per m2 incuded laid, but not site preparation.

I want the free one if I am entitle to. Did someone did actually get the free one from telstra, so I can argue with them?, Who should I talk to?

They just done the connection an hour ago, but the guy refuse to do one socket for me. They said they don't do anything inside. I called testra, they said if you don't have any socket at all, they will provide the first one. But if you already have one(builder install, but we pay ), they won't do th...

Does anyone know if the Telstra $299 new connection fee included one socket?, We pay builder to install two sockets, Do we expect telstra provide third socks when they do the connection?

Thanks rldragon2003 for that, however the page is not opening :? It should be http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/dwo

September 2008..........6 days October 2008..............12 days November 2008...........9 days Do they look right? Is there an official website that the building industry us...

Do you think I should call Boral directly? I can definitely be more persistent then my SS :-) But, will they talk to me though ? Call Botal directly, they have all the record, they more than happy to help you out. We just finished hand -over this morning, we have still the roof tile bad patch issue...

Does any one know what current that the ducted system consumed? 10 Amp or 15 Amp direct circuit power points?

Ours was $650 - think it depends which network area you live in. What about the gas connection? Did you need to pay it? Did you do the hand over on spot or at the north west office?
