Ive checked my last year of electricity usage, worked out how much i spend and how many units i use. Whirlpool website was good to see what everyone else thinks and what they got. But i was a bit confused about the terminology and gobbledy gook. Best website for learning all about solar is http://www.desertknowledge.com.au where they test a heap of panels and inverters at an installation near Alice Springs. The site explains all the mumbo jumbo then compares the stats on a spreadsheet, in real time or you can pick a date. Very interesting. We are looking a 2 -3 kw system, that will suit out power needs(we are pretty thrifty when it comes to power, ususally spend $60 month and usually in credit). We have a few quotes and a few more to come. We arnt just going for the cheapest on the market, (as advertised on tv specials), we want somthing that will last, economincal, good brand, quality, but still considering the budget. And pay for itself in 3 years. Any thoughts, peoples? Experiences?

Sorry to hear that you had to have one. They are never nice. In regards to the pool, we found that Sapphire pools had a good range to fit our small area. They are in Kenwick, on Albany Hwy. Cliff is the sales rep up there. He even let the kids have a swim when we were picking. Have you thought about putting in a larger spa? Maybe that might be a good choice given your size of area. I guess it depends on what water activities you are after. BTW, it's really coming along now I drive past a few times a week to see how things are going on your place.

Last week the internal render was done. Yesterday the render for the front was put on. What an art form, watched this guy basically throw the render onto the brickwork then smooth it on then later shave it down. Today 2 guys did all the ceiling and cornice....... in 1 day. CRICKEY MOSES. And they swept out every room even though half the mess wasn't theirs. They left a very neat and tidy house. The weeds out the back are now waist high....need to get in there and clear it out. Looks like a job for the weekend.

Can't believe how quickly it was rendered. What a great service! Love it when you get someone working on your house who understands customer service Our Family Home Thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=69221 Our Investment Build Thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=69588 Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17590 3 48357 Ask for references and speak to them.
