I think you’ve lost us, rivers flow into the ocean even though the ocean covers the river mouth

Thanks mate, where are you building? Any plans finalized?
We're building in the Inner West (ish), doing a knockdown rebuild. Our plans are all done. Single storey, 4 bedroom, 2.5…

There are significant shortages of building materials and products globally. Recent government infrastructure spending and building industry stimulus measures have compounded this situation. Prices have risen due to these market…

Hi Hugo. I would be cautious. A 'Flame Zone' window should be tested to AS1530.8.2. 10mm glass (float or toughened) will not pass this test. If you would like a…

I would suggest you double-check the windows/frames from China meet the Australian Standard before purchasing anything. It would be a shame to import the windows only to find out they…

Glad you came to a decision

I'm surprised the ACCC hasn't gone through them for what they do. In other industries, you need to clearly call out every upgrade, and display the price of the…

You could send them an email/letter making a point that you won't be paying for the slab until it is confirmed it is poured in the correct location.

Hi elloelloelloqwer
If you have a look at stormy's post above they have explained quite well what some of the challenges are with getting…

I wouldn't bother with noname. She obviously is ignoring vulnerable people's plights for reducing unnecessary wood smoke in urban areas. Asthma attacks are just a small inconvenience for others apparently.…

You know what else is bad in urban areas? Factories, cars, smokers, humans in general.

Noname, i think you have just taken the title for post of the year!
