Hello
Trying to fix 50sqm of couch lawn (is it couch? last 2 photos) at my folks place.
Watched a number of videos that pretty much say
1. Treat for weeds
2.…

thank you. Just was not sure as spikes seem pretty short

Are lawn aerator sandals worth it?

Hi everyone
Had to regrout the bathrooms due to a not very good tiling job 10 years ago causing showers to leak.
Anyway, since I now have a moisture meter I decided…

Hello
Have 2 cats and 1 dog on a smallish backyard. Cats are allowed to go to backyard only. Same with the dog, though she is also walked twice a day.…

ok. Should really ask - what brand power outlets/switches etc are available in Australia and which ones are the best? Or just go with any and replace as needed?

Who knows if they were new or old at the time they installed it. Don't care about what they did back then. More interested to know on what to replace…

Sorry, but would not put these in my house - not certified and would be surprised if any electrician would actually install these.

Hi everyone
Was not sure under which topic to put it under. Had my home built in 2010 and since then have replaced pretty much all power points that I use…

Hello
Since my house was built in 2010 I must have had a water leak problem between the shower and the bedroom wall.
Wall is a single utility brick with plaster over…

ok. Removed one. Oscillating tool did not work - glue was too deep inside. Ended up breaking the basin with a hammer - this is what I will do in…

thank you. Will give it a go tomorrow. Maybe should start on a smaller bathroom - if I stuff it up, less expensive to replace

Did not think there was much to show... But here they are. Both bathrooms are the same. Could not find any other way they are attached to the top apart…

Hello
I have 2 basins in 2 bathrooms that I want to replace.
I want to replace the basins from the oval shaped to the rectangular shaped one. But have no luck…

ERV in every room would be nice.
I don't have ducted A.C. yet, so anything I will add is expensive.
Plan is to put ducted air conditioning with an addition of in…

I have started this discussion so that other people retrofitting double glazing into their homes are aware of ventilation requirements. Summer - yes, you can open a window, unless it's…

Key word is fresh. Ventilation is different to ducted air conditioning, though cost as much.

Are they required to measure it? They can always say (in my house) that I retrofitted my windows etc after they did the install

Then what's the point of dual glazing if reverse cycle ACs can chill/heat the air? Topic is about ventilation and your regular split system does nothing for that

With an extra add on. But that air will be just air from the outside, no heat recovery is done. Standard ducted systems in Australia do not normally install it,…

evap cooling is not very good for dual glazing. You would need to keep your windows open anyway (so I was told).
Given this info, looks like you are building on…

No, I have not. It all depends on the budget. If your new home is 6* or up, HVAC makes a lot of sense. It is just to expensive for…

Thanks for trying, but I cannot do these activities at night while I am asleep =)

Hello
Do not know what is the official name for the rubber seal/gasket that holds the actual glass in place.
I had double glazed windows put in and cannot get rid…

=) don't think you would be able to sleep next to the crypto mining rig =)
Heating burns oxygen and uses a lot more energy than HRV system does. Don't forget…

I agree, but can not agree with the prices we are charged here. A fan and a heat exchanger in a box cannot/should not cost the same or more than…

Yeah, I looked at them and... too expensive. My house is not built to the passive house standards, so using HRV will be an overkill. Ducted AC with HRV inflow…

People in Russia and northern countries with cold winters have central heating. Keeping window open causes energy loses regardless who pays for them. Best option is to have heat recovery…

What is the point of dual glazed windows if you have to open them at night? Summer time - sure. But winter time... Also we got dual glazed windows for…

I have not specifically studied it, but concerned of my children's health. Will measure CO2 in just a closed bedroom without anyone in it. If it goes up - will…
