Help !!! Do these Leighton hedges have Botryosphaeria Canker ? I have 4 in a different location that have all gone brown/yellow and we think it spread from these 4…

Managed to get decent chunk of it and it looks more like what is in this thread in the last picture:

I don't think its Kikuyu as it never gets thick and tall (I've had KK before) - this stays low, so below the tops of and creeps between the Palmetto.…

I've had this invasive grass weed and spraying with glyphosphate only kills the head and it comes back. With the heavy rain in Sydney in the past fortnight its really…

I have 7 900 x 1800 temporary blinds left over after our window treatments were done. I…

Our garden bed is approx 4 m wide and about 3 m deep. On the "high side" of the garden bed (so towards the driveway and house) for the first…

Anyone have guidelines as to how many steps apart you should space the instair lighting (subject to an average sized unit) and also how high above the stair it should…

Our distance to the external vent is only the height of the canopy since its vented to the side wall, so no more than 800 mm. The NSW rep indicated…

We've initially settled on a Bosch DWW093651A for around $1450 installed and it will be vented out via the wall its mounted on as the above area is a 2nd…

So would a wooden balustrade with gaps be okay ?

Thanks - we have thought about it in terms of door to door sales people , but not sure if it makes the place uninviting when…

Here's what we'll have to settle on:

Unfortunately it will have to be run past the certifier as we extended an upper bedroom and the entry by 1 brick to accomodate…

Forgot to mention the back door is a double french door now. We'd plan to only use the left french door in option A and…

Thanks Starz - the draftie is doing this now. Any concerns on the direct flow from the front door to the back door ? They don't line up directly but…

We ran into a problem and had to flip the staircase around so that it faces the front door partially (it used to land into the dining area but started…

Ummm - I feel more confused !

Thank you for all the responses. I've confirmed our DG supplier is Viridian and had a look at one of the Viridian links earlier in the thread and it looks…

Thanks Ed - just wondering if doing east is worth it, eg. morning winter sun ?

Anyone ??? Don't want to have a new build turn into an ice box in winter

We're looking at uPVC DG for our build and definitely want low-e for the westerly facing windows. We have an option to do it on the North and East facing…

Now I've learnt something new today ! These look a lot easier than 45's - I hope there's enough space in our joists to use these

Just put in 50 mm and make your life easier - thats what we're doing. Also put in 45 deg connectors so its easy to pull cables.

Can't find this doc online/looks like a "paid for doc" (which I find strange). Can you confirm what is the min separation distance - would be nice for my own…

Thanks - I think the job is too small for most of the home theater installers so they either don't want the job or are over quoting. All I need…

Should the 240V run be on the one side of the joist and the conduit on the other side at the width of the joist ? Whats the min space…

Thanks - the only thing we're debating is whether its nice to look at the door from the dining room. The larger kitchen area is certainly the winner in all…

So stick to the SGPO on the ceiling and just have HDMI/HDMI over Cat6 in conduit ?

In the process of getting some quotes for some pre-wiring and while we've opted for 50 mm conduit for the projector, an installation company suggested we also put the power…
