Thanks SaveH2O,
The fence is just a low (1 meter) rural fence so it doesn't cast any shadow. The fenceline basically runs north-south and the garden bed will be on…

Hi,
We have just extended the effluent disposal area for our home sewerge treatement plant and need some recommendations for what to plant there. The area is around 40 meters…

Thanks for a great reply. Just need to wait for the weather to fine up a bit and I can get started on the garden bed.

Sorry, I don't know if there is a standard. It probably depends on your height and what type of shower head you are going to install, i.e. fixed or adjustable.…

Hi Mel-Lou,
I'm not familiar with that downlight, but they do say that it is "compatible with major leading edge, trailing edge & major universal dimmers". My advice would be…

Hi Mel-Lou,
I think it is a combination of the particular LED downlights and dimmers that is the problem. Its probably worth posting what type of LED downlights you are…

Hi All,
We are planning to plant a new garden along our fenceline to provide a bit of a screen. My wife wants to form a hedge of grevillea (peaches…

It looks like they are complete down light assemblies which have the luminaire (globe), heatsink and power supply all as one unit. They come with a lead and plug…

Thanks for the replies

Hi All,
Just to add to all my confusion, all the carpet shops have a different take on which underlay we need. I know that conventional wisdom is to buy…

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm a bit more re-assurred that it is normal(ish) practice now, so I don't think it will be a deciding factor in who we…

Hi,
I'm just wondering when you would usually pay for carpet? I've got two quotes for carpet and one store wants a 15% deposit on ordering, and then the balance…

Thanks for your replies everyone. I just thought I would post an update. My wife wouldn't budge from her colour choice so we have painted in Haymes Calm.…

Thanks Michelle, I appreciate you taking the time. We are leaning towards that carpet, my wife likes a particular colour that it comes in.

Thanks Michelle, I thought you might. We are looking at three different carpets at the moment. The Maple Grove and Jacaranda Eversoft ranges. The colour in the…

Thanks Michelle,
We might have a change of plan now. We've found another SDN which is a bit cheaper from a different retailer. It's called Urban Lifestyle First Avenue. I…

Thanks Michelle and HN,
Colour Fastness, I never would have worked that out.
So the carpet is ok then? We haven't got a clue, we just liked the colour and the…

Hi Fred,
I just bought the v1.5 Brightgreens which are still to be installed. As you probably know the advertised advantage of the v1.5 over the v1 is the slightly…

Hi All,
We are about to buy our carpet and the one we are looking at is a Stainmaster Eversoft. I'm wondering whether anybody knows whether this is a good carpet.…

Thanks Michelle, that sounds re-assuring, I think it is exactly what we are after. Who would have thought it was so hard to pick a white colour.

Thanks Adam,
The white…

Hi All,
Painting is starting on our extension next week and we have decided on a white ceiling in matt, and white doors and trim in semi gloss. We want…

Thank CuttingEdgeKitchens,
Those prices look great. My problem is that I need a custom made one with a half return to sit on a bath hob and I also need…

Hi All,
Our extension is just about complete and the last thing we need to organise is the shower screen. We want a semi-frameless shower screen, without a frame around…

Thanks Jammin, but I have already bought my lights.

I didn't end up going with the 90/30 D900s, I'm just using the normal 55 degree ones. I bought mine from Goto Lighting, they have a discount if you buy…

Hi Rebecca,
We are in Melbourne and did an extension last year, about 7 meters by 10 meters including a deck. I think the actual plans from the draftsman were about…

Thanks Kaytee, I'll have a look at it.

Hi Everyone,
Sorry for what is probably a really dumb question, but I need some advice about two paint colours we are trying to choose between. We want a colour…

Hi All,
We are doing an extension at the moment and are about ready for plaster, but I just noticed that the new light switches are set at a different height…
