thanks for the forum Jason and to everyone for contributing generously of their knowledge and experience. I've recently been learning bits and pieces from you all. My partner and I have recently bought a approx 100 year old (I think of the Edwardian period) semi-detached single-storey house in the outer-inner west of Sydney. Over the past 3 months we've had lots of work done on it so far - including complete damp course replacement, sub-floor fan-driven ducted ventilation & bigger vents, ~$5K of (slate tile and corrugated iron) roof repairs, painting, skirting board repalcement, and floor sanding and coating - and we've have just this last week procedded to move in. Lots has been learnt during those months ... I wish I had been aware of and had the time to read all the info contributed by you all before making some of the decisions related to those activities, but alas, everything is done under time pressures when you are paying rent still, as well as a mortgage!Anyway, we have manged to survive it, I think in large part to not dwelling here while it was all going on, and I hope to able to contribute those learnings to others through this forum. There are many other more minor works still to do and I hope that some of your advice can help me with those. First job is sealing up the bath, so we can have a shower, so off to the 'Bathroom' forum I go ...! cheers, Nick thanks, nickc Re: Introductions Please! 111Mar 15, 2009 3:10 pm I'm Tammi, just joined today. Bought a deceased estate last week and am looking forward to getting my teeth into creating our dream home.
My particular interests lie in solar passive design. I'm a bit of a greenie at heart and I would love to run a few chooks in a permaculture garden, but that's far distant from this point. Just a cleverly designed house, fitting with the climate in Perth is our starting point. Can't wait to get started! Tam Update: Keys in hand! Pulling up carpets and searching the colour charts for our dream wall colour.

Re: Introductions Please! 117Apr 10, 2009 3:56 pm Hello! I thought I should jump in here first. My husband and I have just paid a deposit on land in Mernda and hope to be building on it soon. We bought our current house already established, so this is our first building experience. We are certainly learning as we go along. I stumbled onto this forum a few weeks back and it's become one of my favourites. It certainly has loads of information. I'll look forward to posting here.
