I've ocassionally seen these very light "concrete" (?) blocks on TV. What are they? Where can we buy them?
I want one that can serve as a step

, so about 1m long and not that high (about 10 cm is OK).

Anyone knows where to find them and what are they actually called?

Thanks Shane, but I don't know. Did you mean this Hebel product: http://www.hebelaustralia.com.au/homeowners/homefencesystems.aspx or something else?

They are called ICF blocks.
See wikipedia for Insulating Concrete Form (ICF)

That was always going to be a challenge and a test of patience. Full marks to your mate. Did you discuss the wet area near the trampoline?

How do you remove one of these ceiling air con vents? And is it possible to disconnect the duct joined to the vent from inside the house, without going into the roof cavity?
