The water here is soooo hard that soon our solar panels, glass pool fencing, pool pump, shower screens, HWS plus all our appliances will get so calcified that they won't work correctly, or at least be very inefficient. So a limetron sits on the mains supply and does some electro-something or other and removes that hardness. No filters or anything and lasts 10 years apparently. I'd like a fancy new sink tap too but we will see if that's further down the line ? We also applied successfully to have our stamp duty on the land altered, and we got back $1700! When you buy land it's taxed at General Rate - when you have built a residential property on it you can then retrospectively apply to have the tax reconsidered at the Residential Rate, which is cheaper, hence the rebate. Definitely worth doing! I've been telling everyone I know who has built to do it, as it's not really publicised, funny hey! Re: Alkimos Aveling first timers! 155Jan 11, 2017 9:57 pm That all sounds awesome Zoe! Love the extra money coming through to help finish off things and that limetron will be worth it like you said if it will help prolong the life of everything Stamp duty we had the exemption I believe as being under a certain amount and first home buyers in qld, but a great tip to pass on Re: Alkimos Aveling first timers! 156Jan 11, 2017 9:58 pm P.s love your furniture colours we have the silver wood dining set and it looks similar in colour so fresh and beachy 11 41764 Thank you.
