This has always been the style of floor plan I wanted - open plan but with separate areas, if that makes sense. I can see the whole of the back…

We are looking at building south of Perth. Having lived in a house that has floor to ceiling south facing windows and consequently is very cold in winter, it…

Thanks everyone. I was hoping to keep the double garage on the west side of the house so that the bedrooms remain cooler. Wellard2ndTimers did you consider this at all?…

The block I'm interested in is 21m wide, so it is wide enough for a triple garage. However due to the orientation of the block (north facing rear yard), I…

Hi treeseachanger, the road runs along the front of the block, which is south. The block is 21m wide and 30m deep, so a reasonably standard suburban rectangular block. 630m2.…

Hello, I'm hoping you might be able to help me with my house design. I've been looking for a north facing block for ages and I've finally found one that…

Ok, so I'm in the early stages of thinking of building a house and I just wondered what fees might be involved. We finished off our current house so…

If you have RAC membership you can get 30% off Solver paint, saved us a fortune when we did ours.

Thanks for that Michelle, a bold choice, although I think hubbie is going to need some convincing to put orange on the walls. I'll let you know how I…

Hi Michelle,
Thanks for your help. I have attached some photos. Please excuse the toys and mess. I have included the dark one because, well, that's how dark…

Hi Michelle,
We painted our house two years ago when we first moved in, but after a trip to a friend's house that is really lovely and bright, I've realised how…

Sorry if this has been covered before, I've done some searches but nothing came up.
I need some new eyelet curtains for my spare room (nothing fancy or too expensive, just…

Mandurah Stockfeeds, 2L - can't remember how much but it wasn't very much.

This is not strictly a garden and landscape design orientated question, but I thought Fu might want to have some input on it.
At work we currently have some chemicals (potassium…

One thing I forgot to add is that the fence sits on top of a limestone block, so the star pickets/logs would not be flush with the fence if inserted…

I want to put a couple of bougainvillea plants along our cream colourbond fence to break it up a bit and introduce some much-needed colour into the garden, but I'm…

Yes sorry, I didn't write my question very well. What I meant is would they be able to withstand the pressure from the backwash, as opposed to the traditional…

Fu, or anyone else that knows about these kinds of things - would these ag pipes or the boxes be any good instead of soakwells for a swimming pool? …

Gumtree?

We've only had one quote for each but for approx 150 square metres the LL came in at about $7k and the paving $11k - a considerable difference in my…

Thanks Tinkster.

Hi guys, I know this topic has probably been covered a few times before, but I can't really find anything too relevant by doing the usual searches. We've just…

Thanks Fu, lots of great advice there. However I've found they are 'blacklisted' on the growmeinstead.com.au website so I'm not sure about using them now. However I live…

I was at a friend's house today and she had some lovely plants in her front garden which she said were called 'fincas'. Light green round shaped leaves with…
