Another recommendation for FormBoss (sold through GreenLines)- we used it for a herb garden and got a third of our yard finished in only one day!

If you haven't lived with them before, try to spend some time at night in a house that has them. I really hated them in our old rental- to me…

Without having seen the actual house plan, can you reduce each room length by 20cm (down the long side of the house)? This amount isn't noticeable in each room, but…

The Chili Pepper Hot Water Recycler is a similar product to the Dux by the sound of it, would be worth comparing prices?

Thanks Ed!

So Ed, if I already have my screen doors with standard mesh, can I replace the mesh with steel mesh, or will that not work?

Thanks Fu! I will look all those plants up tonight
Would hellebores grow in this location?

Ah- yes, that would be helpful! Canberra

Hi all,
Our new house has a small service passageway along the southern side of the house, which is dark and damp. As two bedrooms have windows on this side of…

Blurry horrible picture off my phone- sorry for the quality. I can't find the camera cable to get the good photos off the camera as I have put it somewhere…

We got a quote to have some bamboo floorboards laid- the installer said that as the house is new the concrete slab will have too much moisture to lay the…

It is installed finally, but we haven't been able to get access to take any photos
Really hoping to get the house keys by the end…

Thanks for the link- apparently an American barn door fitting, so you were right Joles.
Re my avatar- it's a seahorse with tail top right and head bottom left. No one…

Awesome- I love it! Any thoughts on where you could find the hardware?

You could look at taking 20cm or so off all rooms along one side of the house- it's not enough to make much difference to the use of the room,…

Alrighty- although I said earlier that we had no choice, there were some specific reasons that we were so comfortable with the builder's choice after the first meeting with the…

This is probably not a very helpful answer, but we had to use our builder's preferred kitchen company. Fortunately they were fantastic and we were really happy with the service,…

I guess the other question about being 'forced' to take certain actions is whether it was an estate requirement- my estate requires a rainwater tank of a certain size (based…

TDL-
Just make sure you ask the weight loading that the hinges can handle- you can fit more in big drawers, and it's tempting…

Does anyone have a picture? I googled but no luck...

Phew! I also thought mine was sick- thanks to Tillie for asking this!

Nope, they still haven't installed the benchtop. Sorry! I promise I won't forget you

Thanks! It was our kitchen designers idea- I'll let you know how it works when we get to start using it.
just out of curiosity what did you use for your…

Our overheads have a standard door with no handles, but the door is 1cm longer than the cupboards, giving us an overhang to pull the door open with.

Beautiful!

Cabinets went in yesterday, but no sign of the benchtop yet. Hopefully soon! Assuming they are in by the end of this week, I will go take photos through the…

Not in yet! Hopefully soon, but they've gone quite slowly the last week or so.

I like the jasper- and you wouldn't really see the whole roof of it in real life. A lighter option like the windspray would be better for energy efficiency though,…

We brought the model down form your ASKO dishwasher 2 months ago- so, so happy with it!

Talk to your lender about what they will pay out for each stage- we had issues as ourbank wouldn't release the amount agreed to for frame stage as their valuer…
