Spoke with Mercator. Part number FD858900BK is the 900mm Black extension rod to suit the Samos ceiling fan. They also have a 600mm and they would both come in white…

Thanks. I'll try reach out to Mercator today. Would rather not have to return them.

Hi all. We've just purchased the Mercator Samos ceiling fans from Bunnings on black for our new place. I forgot to look into this before, but we have a raked…

This is my gut take on the situation. Only thing I've discovered that would need to e considered is the Indemnity Insurance if selling up within 7 years, which…

Sorry, SW WA based.

Thanks for the blog tip - I'll def check it out. I did do some searches but didn't find much that was overly relevant.

Hi all. I'm looking for any experiences from people who have been in a similar situation. A family member is currently in the unenviable position of having had their…

Progress is good. Keep it coming.

Hi All! I saw a while back on a "daily specials website" a device that you would plug into the wall and then you'd plug your different charging devices into…

Looking forward to seeing the progress on both projects!

Nice work Karen. I'm finding that the extra large and cheap rubber plug is working best for us at the moment. Not a glamorous accessory, but it's usually covered in…

Thanks for the tips. I did try the replacement plug from Bunnings and that leaked too, but not the replacement plug/waster combo. Ended up buying one of their $3 big…

Hi folks! I've done a quick search and I only found one topic that even comes close to what I want to ask from 2010!
I've got your standard Stainless…

Hi just curious to hear about how this went? Good results? Pics? I assume this is on a standard concrete floorand not a specially poured floor?

Yep. House is concrete with double brick and 31 course ceilings in the kitchen & living area's.

Thanks xxkatxx! To be honest, I'm not sure of it's proper name. It was done as part of the landscaping package. Very similar to the stuff on this website:http://www.linkedge.com.au. Good…

Here's a quick couple of pics of the front and back yard which are a bit more recent;


And a couple of the apples we got a couple of months back;
Will…

This was my front yard when freshly finished in July 2012;

And the Back garden in September 2012;
The fruit tree's from left to right are Blood Orange, Golden Delicious Apple, Tahitan…

So, I've been busy...very busy lately! Busy at work with no photo's to upload, and then busy at home with no time to interwebs. But anyways, less blab, more show!
I've…

I won't claim to be an expert, but from talking to someone I know who has a nursery, we were originally looking at getting dwarf fruit trees for our place…

I have gone over idea's like this myself but being a brick wall, I don't think I could make that work without major changes (instead of just the opening being…

So we're getting closer to being back in our place and we've done some more thinking about the pantry idea's. What do you folk reckon of the following ideas?


We came…

Hi EmyN. I've gotten luck with the tenants. Both the first guy to rent and the current family have been great. They've all looked after it really well and the…

So we finally got our rangehood installed yesterday along with some new lights for the living area's and out the front. It was worth every $ we spent on it.…

I like it. That's my idea of how it should be setup. My other half isn't convinced that the appliances should be able to be used in there instead of…

Wouldn't it be nice. Maybe one day when automation really starts taking off in the mainstream these will become a more commonplace feature.

Definitely a design from someone who has done it before. Sounds like a great way to set it up. Something I would consider doing to my dingy little pantry if…

That's a good idea, keeping the christmas tree in the pantry! At what heights are you shelves at? I'm guessing they'd be similar to me plans which have mine spaced…

Thats good to hear. Thats what I'm hoping to achieve with our plans. Good to see the measurements on your shelf depths. Would you make either one deeper or shallow…

I'm glad I found this post. This is pretty much exactly what I've imagined for the small pantry reno I want to do at my place when we move back…
