The kitchen all up, minus appliances, was about $37,000. That included design, cabinets, benchtops, splashback, demolition & building works, installation, electrician & plumber, plastering, plus disposal of the old kitchen…

Almost ten years on, we finally had enough of our rubbish kitchen, so ripped it out and started over. "The sink needs to be moved", I insisted. "I want an…

Just a heads-up for anyone who uses Photobucket to host photos, they've just banned third party hosting (unless you're prepared to pay them $400 a year), so images posted here…

Absolutely. It's what we were originally going to do, but we ran out of funds to do the robes before moving in.
Alternatively, if you're using IKEA units, you can…

We called in the pros from Flexirobes and we're very happy with the result. Our walk in robes have been properly fitted out - this one is…

I lost my Mum six months ago and we're now at the pointy end of winding up her estate. After we picked out the things we want to keep, held…

I'd vote for a north-facing alfresco room and living rooms too. Ours is at the side and has the family/dining room on one side, the lounge on another and the…

The thread's here with photos: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=29727&hilit=sandstone+pavers

Nope, we do have a slab under ours. The alfresco room had a slab already, and the landscaper added an extra section and tied the two together with steel reo…

Lovely! The Mediterranean garden is gorgeous and the paving looks really schmick.
Looks like the perfect place for many future BBQs.

I'm locking this thread, as the original post has been duplicated in several forums.

Slugs and snails like young citrus leaves.
Some snail bait around the base of the trees will solve the problem if these pests are causing it.

We used Into Blinds for our plantation shutters and couldn't be happier. Prompt service, courteous staff, competitive price and excellent quality. There was a minor delay (a few days) with…

We use baits, but put them in our roof space where there's no chance of anybody's pets getting hold of it. In the past, we've also put them behind the…

Nah, they're usually stolen in large numbers, so it has to be scrap metal. About a hundred were stolen in one night from our estate when we were building, and…

We have a sewer easement running along our back fence. We've laid step stone pavers in gravel, as Maximus has suggested, so if access is ever required, it's easy to…

Ours isn't steel framed, but we recently had an attic ladder installed, with 10m2 of flooring included, for storage purposes. You could contact one of the companies that install these…

You're unlikely to have anything to worry about. And worst case scenario, if any CGT applied to the sale of your existing home, it would only apply to the period…

Make sure you try coconut yoghurt. Best thing ever.

I love it when people take my recipes and do their own thing with them. I don't have a lot of vegetarian recipes, but the…

Some people are happy with their products, others not so much. We bought venetians, rollers and a Roman from them and we're not thrilled. Four years on, the hardware on…

It's still growing nicely. Definitely a lot taller now. The front garden doesn't get much watering and it's been a dry summer, but…

What joles said... My folder was my Bible during our build. I had sections for tender & contracts, one for post-contract variations, one for correspondence (it's uber-important to have…

Glad to hear it helped. We've found it to be a really good product. Intergain's decking oil is the bee's knees too.

Actually, evap works where HUMIDITY is lower. Big difference. In the right climate, it's the ideal choice.
Not really an urban myth, more a failure by many people to…
