I've done exactly this, my water wall is 2m tall and about 4m wide to cover a neighbors view of our alfresco. I was told that if the neighbor had…

Do you have any pictures of the area? Is it over concrete? Is it raised or a low deck? Do you have a budget in mind?

The realestate website takes their instructions directly from the agent, if the agent logged on and removed the listing that change would be in effect in minutes. It would have…

As for the cost of the wall itself with steel the costs are about 2500 + labour. You can construct the wall yourself it just must be designed and constructed…

Maybe some photos of the area and a sketch of what you want done. I do landscaping for a number of builders in Melbourne, VIC and your quote made me…

Great answer Ed, this forum needs an up-vote system.

In most cases even securing the deck to the concrete is not required, 30m2 will weigh a few hundred kilos when assembled.

I think it'll be fine also just still scratching my head how they arrived at 5.4k

For me the answer is no, we don't use it enough to justify it. We chose to fit out a room with screen, step up, projector and blacked out the…

Just my 2c about cables, don't listen to all the sales garbage about interference and HDMI versions, a cable is a cable.
When I built my room everyone said get…

Not sure there are standards, just use flexibond and go nuts

As a uni student I had a little earner $500 a property to find pegs, easiest job I ever had, don't pay the builders.

We are still kicking around in plan sketch up land and we happened upon an interesting conversation with our designer when discussing what the front of the house will look…

Also importing a scanned image of your house plan into 'google sketch up' is simple then trace over the lines and pull the model up.

Yes the external mess looks like spray from cleaning, nothing to worry about there, they'll pain over that and it'll come up just fine.

In our current house we did:
Outside:
Driveway
Front deck
Facade lighting

Clothes line
Water feature

Basically everything.. on day one it was mud and lots of it!
Inside:

No, the pavers can be laid directly onto a built up mortar base. Sand is normally used on larger areas and mortar is used around the edge to lock it…

I know I'm thread mining this old thread but I was looking for information on Snowdon and came up slim so thought I might add to this old one for…

I'd sit the deck slightly off the ground, it won't need much use some squares of 5mm plate steel squares (the big green box sells all this stuff). This way…
