Most retaining walls done out of treated pine in my area are quite bowed already, only a year or two old! Something to consider.

I had to do the same thing, check all the joins, retape as necessary you may need to pull the duct back a fraction to the join if they are…

I wish that was true but it is not, in fact most volume builders don't even have a return air duct, your heater will draw air through a wall cavity,…

Yes we have the same issue it is the ducted heating. We have a new house built in 2010 and let me tell you what a great job they did…

Are you sure it's even kikuyu you are looking at? Kikuyu from seeds takes a fair while to become a lawn, at least a full season from early spring to…

Bunnings does weird things like stocking an item then all of a sudden you wont see it again at that particular bunnings. Try another bunnings, the one I go to…

I think your after ACQ treated pine sleepers not CCA. CCA are the cheaper of the two. ACQ is still a bit hard to find, Bunnings can order stuff in…

Did you even consider how santa may feel about this?

Do you have clay soil? The tree is dead, you will need to get another one.

I regret not getting a two way light switch for my garage (turn it off or on an both internal door and external door). Sometime I can be outside and…

This does appear to be a fungal issue, you said this area was ok before? It was probably spread by walking on the other infected areas and then onto your…

The couch looks resonably healthy and the kikuyu is looking ok too. You said about 6 months ago that would make it winter. I wonder if the dead areas are…

Sorry not going to be any help but can I score one more for kikuyu, for anyone who is looking to make a choice of grass in the future do…

They are leylandii leighton green, pain in the a**. Not sure why you would need council approval if they are on your land, but I will leave that for someone…

I wouldn't be looking at lawn grubs, Your lawn mower doesn't leak petrol does it? Did it dry out slowly or did it happen within a few days? It…
