Hi,
I just got an estimate from a roofer to lift tiles and battens, lay sarking, and relay with ridge capping, of $8000 - $10000. Our place has a ground…

Hi,
I think it is 30 metres based on the Mining Act 1978. You can have the rocks and dirt but the ownership of any…

Hi,
For me, it would be a nice looking canvas blind on the window, and a few deciduous trees on the lawn. In winter, you put the blind up, and gain…

Hi,
We are going thru the same stuff just now, with a 4 sq m kitchen, u-shape, standard cutouts only, and our estimates are around $3700. It can vary upwards a…

Yes,
It may not be needed. If the pool has stabiliser in it, is clean, and is not being used, then it may not need so much chlorine. However swimmers will…

That clear lid on top in the photo unscrews. It should be tightened only just hand tight, no tools used.
So remove that, and the basket inside, and clean them. Anything…

Hi,
The various chemicals can be expensive bought that way. Do a trawl around your local supermarkets, Big W, Aldi, Bunnings etc, and much of it is cheaper these places, somewhere…

Oops, more yet:
I would not just throw chemicals in unless actually needed. Buy a test kit if you don't have one already, and regularly test for chlorine, acid demand, and…

Hi,
I just used about 10 of these around the walls.

When free standing they are quite flimsy and unstable, but if you screw them back…

Hi,
The neighbours have 2, and they say they can't put them out if it is windy. Theirs are not fastened down.
Then I saw one in use at Sussex Inlet on…

Hi,
I don't think it is normal. Ring the Real Estate Institute, the Australian Property Institute, and the local Consumer Authority.

Hi,
We have recently found how cheaply good used furniture sells on eBay and Gumtree. If you have the means to pick it up there is an endless list of used…

I think definitely so.
The best would be to have the steel galvanized, but I suspect that would be prohibitively expensive.
Next best would be to lightly sandblast it, either by…

I had heard of that myself, on Whirlpool.com I think. The advertising for it is very vague and nowhere says what it actually is by % analysis, but the consensus…

Our pleasure,
Add stabiliser according to the instructions, no extra. Buffer, you could fling the instructed amount, or more, it won't hurt. As to Magnapool, I don't think myself there is…

Hi,
I've had a fibreglass salt-water pool for since 1992 now, and have got to know its foibles. To take it in order
- yes, use stabiliser (cyanuric acid) which slows the…

It is just badly cleaned brickwork. Poor workmanship.

Hi,
Yes, for a sewer it is the water authority, like Sydney Water, who govern this. They for instance will not normally allow a permanent structure right ON a main sewer.…

It uses copper and silver ions to sanitise the pool water, and check the replacement cost of the electrodes!!

This method of sanitising the water has limits…

A black granite DRIVEWAY? I have to confess I don't have one.

Hi,
The main problem seems to be varying contour and thickness of the sandstone rocks. Therefore to get a straight run of fence which isn't an odd looking zigzag, some posts…

Hi,
We used whisper white and liked it. That brand is very good to apply. I'd recommend buying a small amount of each and painting 2 whole walls, then hanging a…
