Hi all, Would love some opinions on our extension. We're adding an 8m extension on our 70's weatherboard cottage (existing 12m frontage) as per the photo. The current cladding is hardwood weatherboard in reasonable condition. The western end, where the extension is going, will be getting stripped as...

Abey Lago SinksKitchen Corner

Hi all, Just wondering if someone with an Abey Lago sink could help me out. We're looking at putting one in our new kitchen, however I was hoping to see what the lip looked like when installed on bench instead of underbench. The photos in the books don't clearly show how it sits on the finished benc...

Hi Felix, Happy you like my thread ::lol:: Where are you coming from to the Fraser Coast? We live here in Hervey Bay for about 6 years now. When we started to look for a larger property, we realized that there is not much difference between 5 or 10 or more acres. Of course you pay more when you go ...

First off, great thread so far, nothing more exciting than watching a build come along. I'm particularly interested in yours as my wife and I are hoping to purchase land on the fraser coast. Due to financial constraints we won't have quite as much room as you unfortunately, as we'd love 40+ acres. W...
