i have polished porcelain in my house....love it and looks awesome...at certain angles it looks like you're walking on mirror.
BUT...it's been a nightmare to keep clean....next time i build…

I had grout haze issues as well with my (then) newly laid porcelain tiles. I just mopped the whole area with vinegar solution, then hired a commercial grade floor polisher…

Our LL finish also came out "rough". I was partly annoyned at the installer for not mentioning about the choice of smooth or rough finishing, but i had simply assumed…

Hi duke, linear outlets look better but they cost more. Be sure to check first how much more they're charging above the normal MDO price.

thanks....we just used the standard 4-way adjustable MDO (multi directional outlets). this is better as you can direct airflow to where you want or dont want

Happy New Year everyone!!! We moved in on the 29th Dec!!! Have been absolutely flat out ever since.....when you think you've sorted/arranged something, there's always another thing to do and…

Not very impressed with our Actron at the moment. Something's not right as the air isn't cold even when set to 20 degrees on the "Cool" function. Even our present…

Problem solved. I used a hacksaw

Tiler finished his work yesterday, and it looks awesome! Just needs a nice good clean. The pantry door fitted back nicely (just)....probably had only 2mm gap to the tile. Painter…

Thanks Westy. The gate and wing fence on the other side cost me $600. I think it was abit pricey but I had a hard time finding anyone else to…

Our tiler finally started on Wednesday after a slight delay. He'll finish the job next Monday so my painter can start on Tuesday. Here's some pics:

I read somewhere that it's not advisable to cut aluminium with an angle grinder but instead an electric…

Hi guys, i've got a urgent issue to resolve. My tiler has started tiling our floor and we have a problem with clearance between the floor level and the small…

ok thanks....yeah i've called the installer but they can only come over next weds.

I wouldnt worry too much about that skip, probably placed there by PEET for them to clear some rubbish? Anyways hang in there, i know what you must be feeling…

Holy cow you've really gone like a bullet train! So much done in so short period. Someone should hire you to manage their post-handover trade work next time...LoL. Our tiler…

I've got a newly installed 15kW Actron ducted system, and have recently realised that the air coming out of the outlets just isn't cold enough even when set to 18…

Just an update.....wing fence and gate installed yesterday. Another issue with aircond now, this time the air just isnt getting cold enough even when set to 18 degrees! In our…

whoa what's that big hole there? looks like lockup is not far now. we just had our aircon installed and tiling starts next monday.

Yes the Booragoon store moved out because the rentals were too expensive, that's what the lady told me. They sell ex-display items, and some minor damaged items. We just bought…

Thanks MrsGreen. We are probably only one of the few people in here who has single basin in the ensuite in our case our…

Alright then. In ESP mode on one outlet, i can hear the air rushing out of the outlet....like a soft "whooshing" sound. I even tried adjusting the outlet grilles to…

Oh ok.....what's a 190 or 230? Mine's the 15kW ESP Plus.

Your kitchen and bathrooms look just like some display home! Me likey!

wow Bagheera i really like your kitchen......keep the pics coming.

Thanks Fridgy. Yes that's what i've done, i've selected ESP mode, but i find that the amount of airflow coming out of the outlet (when only 1 outlet/zone is selected)…

Yea i'd also make that bedroom abit bigger if i could. Most display homes do use smaller beds.....i know because i measured

Hi guys, we just had our Actron ESP Plus ystem installed yesterday. All went well and pretty happy with the results.
However, just one issue which i'll need to discuss…

Hi axio99, yes we paid a little more for the two glass cabinet doors. But not much though. The gap from the benchtop to the bottom of the cabinets is…
