These are from a Brisbane gallery, that has a large selections of designs then gets them painted in china, you can also make colour changes is you wish. I think I will order the 1st on tonight its $185 which is not a too bad a price for a large painting. Fingers crossed. Cheers Lou

Has anyone brought paintings on line, if so were they what you expected and would you do it again. I am thinking about buying these. Prices seem ok. http://www.crazyfish.com.au/Upload/Products/5127/b10092703403018649721.jpg http://www.crazyfish.com.au/Upload/Products/4938/b10102301065466008671.jpg h...

We are also half way through a build on a sloping block. As people have mentioned above, working with the slope will yield the best results. Not sure what state you are in, but $900k is a few hundred thousand more than what we are paying (we are in QLD). You can check out our build on the following...

We have built on a downward sloping block, our house looks like a single storey from the front and double from the back. The trick is you have to work with the block the less excavation you do the better as this is where the cost add up esp with retaining don't forget you will have to do them around...

Maybe try these concrete sleepers. http://www.structuralconcretesleepers.com.au/images/gallery/Retail-Outlet-027.jpg http://www.structuralconcretesleepers.com.au/images/home-main.jpg Cheers Lou

I like the look of the solartherm, not a big fan of the look of all that tubing on the roof, you offen see that blown off after one of our qld storms. Would be interest in the price of the solartherm when you get it. Hope all goes well with your build Cheers Lou

Coming together nicely, you must be getting excited now. Cheers Lou

Nice block I just put up our side return fences and gates and a 2 panel side fence with timber post on the weekend, we just brought the panels from bunnings and the timber posts from a timber yard, It was not hard to do but I noticed you are in Brisbane give top dog fencing (they came back the cheap...

My Delonghi 90cm upright gas/electric oven has them and I love them esp when you have loaded the shelf up so easy to slide out. Cheers Lou

Casa - that is why our designer added in the slim 30cm cupboards. Great for hiding away cookbooks and vases - things not needed every single day. That what we did with our island bench, great hiding spot for the treats, DS has his easter eggs in there hidden from Dad. We also brought the cupboard i...

Ours comes on whenever the filter is on, has to pick up the leaves from the neighbours trees, it could also be the pool pump/filter as our neighbours makes a humming noise. Cheers Lou

We had a rental property that had a lot of down lights, we found the rooms too bright and a lot of heat came off them. We ended up getting some floor lamps to use instead of using the lights. Go to a lighting store and talk to them they will give you heaps of ideas and alternatives. Cheers Lou

We had vertical blinds put in the laundry in our previous house and never used them so this time around we didnt bother putting them in. But we still put in blinds on the toilet and bathroom windows even with the frosted glass. Cheers Lou

Our first home we built with a project builder, the main reason it was a house and land package and being our first build this was seemed like the easiest way. Our second build which we have just finished we used a smaller builder, we had to start looking at smaller builders due to the sloping block...

Thanks for sharing your pics take2 and Moogles. How do you find your flick mixers? That is my job today to try and decide on some of those. Trying to find good quality without spending the earth at the same time. take2, can I ask what the laminex is in your cupboards? I find the flick mixers great,...

Pool regulations in your state will effect what your are wanting to do, I would check them out before attaching anything to your fence, most of the regulations have been made tougher in the last 12months. Most state that a mimimun of a 1200 heigh fence with clearance on either side of the fence. Che...

The white is a material & perspect, we have not problem with the amount of light, not sure if you can batten-fix the fixing point in the shade may be too low. Cheers Lou

We put in a natural gas point in for our bbq on out back deck area, we love never have to worry if we have enough gas for the bbq, can't remember what the cost of the extra point was but it must not have been much, We brought a new bbq from Bunnings that could be converted to natural gas the kit cos...
