I think somebody should have gone to Specsavers....:lol: sorry couldn't help it! Some people will try anything, good on you for having the report done.

Have had stone benches with undermount sink (kitchen) and drop-in (laundry) and top-mounted basin (bathrooms) for coming up 13 years and not one chip/scratch of any kind. Would have the same again in a heartbeat. The stone still looks as good as the day it was installed.

Yes, Glyphospate is non-selective and works on the Nitrogen in plants, so anything that is green, will die. Is the area fenced? if so how good are the fences? Goats would clean it up but they are escapees too, unless tethered in which case you'd need to check them constantly. Other animals would be ...

And to be totally different....I chose 30mm! At the time 30mm wasn't available in every colour, so might pay to check, but they might have changed that now too. Had 30mm in two houses now and would do the same again. Everyone loves their own kitchen once it's in!! Good luck

Option 1 would be my choice from those plans. I really dislike cooktops on island bench, specially one that has seating and didn't buy a house a few years ago solely because this was the layout in a new kitchen. With option 1 an induction cooktop gives you lots of bench space (when not cooking) to s...

How great to find the original photo. I think the roofline is more balanced now than when it was built, so I think you did it a favour. Hope you are enjoying it as I was another who followed your thread too.

Have you contacted any of the custom entry door sites? Just checked as I thought I had one bookmarked but can't see it now, however a google search shows quite a few, some even have quick quotes on the websites. Can't help with importing, but maybe someone else might be along to help with that optio...

It's never too late to make a career change, imho. Being happy in your work life is more than $$! Only you know your financial position but being someone who did make a change, albeit a bit earlier than you, I did a 'lot' of overtime and small jobs running up to the change and stashed those extra $$...

As there are 360 species of termites in Australia it's difficult to confirm without local knowledge of the species generally found in your area. You could contact your local pest controller or entomologist and send a photo for identification.

Hope that finds the cause. With our house the ticking would 'never' be heard at night, it was only during changes in temperature during the day but it wasn't as regular as your sound, or as loud. Actually I quite liked the ticking because if a storm was approaching I knew that ticking meant rain had...

I lived for many years with metal roof on metal framing and it wasn't as 'regular' as that sound.

I didn't mention the A4 swatches because I wasn't sure if they were still available, but they are so much better than the 100x100 swatches. Not sure of current cost, but Bunnings used to mix 'sample pots' for $5 or $6 and I found them very useful. Sometimes you have to jump through a lot of hoops to...

Initially I didn't see GrandPiano as being really green, just a very slight tinge, but nothing more. That is, until I went to choose bedroom carpet which I wanted in Taupe, but shock, horror absolutely nothing looked OK so I went from carpet store to carpet store and eventually found one, but it was...

GrandPiano Half was the choice in the last house, but it turned out quite green, so with that in mind I chose Antique White USA (full) in the current house and it suits much better. I too, like warm neutrals and dislike grey in any shade, so the AW is perfect and soaks up whatever colour is in the r...

Try Gumtree, it's amazing what is posted there. Good luck! True story, when I was doing a total bathroom reno a few years ago, the toilet pan (in the house when purchased and unused by us) had several quite large cracks, don't really know how it didn't leak, it was next to the wheelie bin because I ...

If you are lucky, the certifier will do a drive-by, not even sure they checked the driveway stages, but that was a year later too. Imho, it's best not to have the driveway done before moving in to prevent removalist trucks cracking/chipping the driveway. As far as inspections it's a joke, I had to m...

Question, Currently Im with Optus 5G And when do KDR, do I still need NBN connection ? I think I can ignore this, right ? FYI, the 5G tower is just 100m at our front sight. I would think so, but then I'm not an expert in this field and like you, we can see the tower on a nearby hill. Just checked g...

iktan1... check if there are other options in your area as until last week I had NBN/FTTN and recently received a letter from TPG (have been with them for several years with no complaints) and they have upgraded the tower to WiFi Broadband. The plan is now $10 per month cheaper, no contract, unlimi...
