I have an alfresco area off my family room - the alfresco is open on three sides. Every time it rains (and admittedly, it has rained a lot since I…

My garage is on the left, there's a gap between the two buildings and the other car you can see is my neighbour's.

They're both mine - one is for drinking water and the other is for recycled water (the whole estate has a recycling water system).
The taps are pretty ugly actually.. I'm…

Thanks both... mecha-wombat I've googled a lot of the plants you suggested and some I like, some I don't
I'm not sure about the dry river…

Hi all,
I'm just trying to decide what to do with my front garden. It's going to have to be a DIY job because funds are a bit tight at the…

Thanks for that... I've given them a call, I'll see how I go.

Just a quick post today...
I'M IN!!!!
Frantically moving boxes, unpacking things, getting organised, arguing with my fencer (see my urgent post requesting details for…

Hi all,
My unreliable fencer has cancelled on me at the absolute last minute (actually, a few days beyond the last minute ) and I'm…

Looks like next Friday, assuming my bank gets it's act into gear and makes the final payment.

A quick post in case anyone is still reading this.. just had my pre-handover inspection and everything is pretty much perfect!!! A few paint touch ups, a couple of things…

Brown - surprise, surprise
A lightish beige-y/brown actually so it should tie in nicely with the walls/tiles.

ARGH!!! I'd forgotten about all of that

Thank you
Now I'm just trying to pick the colour of my driveway... going for a stencil pattern, and I want something light.... hmmmmm will…

I've been a bit slack of late - posting photos that is. And the photos I'm about to post, even though they were taken this morning, are already out of…

I'm not sure if this applies to your area, but it was my understanding that an owner of land is obliged to pay for half of the fencing regardless of…

Excellent... I won't worry then.
Technical terms are fun

I noticed today that there's some foam type stuff coming out from the joins in the brickwork. I know that these joins need to be there, so that's okay, but…

Oh yes... and one more pic. I can't believe I forgot to post this, but here it is... drum roll please...
MY FRONT DOOR!!

Thanks.. I love it too. I think my guardian house-angel must have been watching over me when the builder said I had to change colours, I like this one…

Dancing... anxiously pacing around resisting the urge to pack everything, same thing
You must be really bored today - I think all of about 3 seconds…

Apologies in advance, because I know this has been covered somewhere - but I put the words door, top and paint into the search engine and got a million possible…

Well.. it seemed to take forever but my painting appears to be done (finally!!). I've spent a couple of weeks calmly repeating to myself that it's a quality job and…

Well, I ended up changing my wall colour to Wattyl's "Your Shadow". I'm actually happier with this colour than I was with the Donkey 1/4.
So I drove past the house…

Opps... sorry Michelle, too late!
Actually, I'm kinda glad it happened. I'm much happier with my new colour. I may have made a bit more fuss…

Just to clarify my original dilemma - I was told that the paint colour I had chosen was 'unavailable'. I have assumed that this means that it is unavailable as…

Hi Tammy,
Sorry it's taken so long to do this. I've scanned the part of the colour chart that has Your Shadow (and my original choice, Donkey 1/4 strength).
All the colours…

Hi Frogger,
Just caught up on the last few pages of your thread - I was exhausted by reading it so I can't imagine how tired you must be feeling. I'm…

Hi Tammy,
Thanks for that - I went into Bunnings today and almost lost my mind looking at all the different colours! Just too much…

I like your thinking
Might be worth a try..

That's just the look I'm going for - Texas Stone isn't on my sheet, but it looks a lot like one or two that's on here.

Looks like I'm up for…
