Mop, mop again. Dry with a towel. It is the drying that prevents the streaks.

From what I have understood, where there is gas heating in certain parts of a building, the moisture within the building will tend to condense mostly at the furthest points…

Maybe if I read that over and over, it may begin to make some sense!
I reckon you realy need to do something FAST…

I know a few people who could do with one!

Both tilers and Mark S are right!

I believe that it is the tiler's job to remove grout haze effectively. Leaving grout haze would probably be an indication of them taking shortcuts. I would find…

Nah, just thought it was a bit ambiguous

You need to lower the dewpoint within the home. These type of heaters are quite efficient at doing that. http://shop.bigpond.com/Product.asp?Act ... &ID=116915 I…

You have gas heating. Right?

In that case, I think it's a matter of prefernces, and could be done either way. It would be more work and cost to fit a board across the…

Agreed. Depending on the relative sizes and shapes of adjoining rooms or areas, I think the greater sized area should have boards running lengthways. If that direction does…

A lot of concern about CSG drilling. What do you think about it all?

Yeah thanks. Just thought I might arm myself with some info about the devices, as I'm making assumptions about what the noise is, and don't want to look like…

Maybe put in floorboards, new or recycled, and paint them with black Japan?

Not sure which section this best belongs in.
One end of our house is located close to a boundary fence, and our neighbours have a…

might be efflorescence

Probably a roof leak, or could be possums wetting? Check it for sure.

I found this, which seems to suggest the opposite.

I guess it comes down to how well it is maintained though.

GOD:
Frank, you know all about gardens and nature.
What in the world is going on down there on the planet? What happened to the dandelions, violets, milkweeds and stuff I started…

Hope they don't klummp together.

I've heard that there are some people who treat tiles with an acid, which etches the surface making the less slippery. But the surface gets more soiled due to…

Vinyl would have to be the way to go.

Yes we had a brick wall rendered recently, by a guy we know. Did a good job! Can send you his details if you are interested. He…

Human error. Simple as that. We all wish it didn't happen but it can. We could say there should have been a check and double check that…

I got one from Bunmnings about 9 months ago. Its a Bosch, and I've found it very efficient, and no problems. Cost $99.

For safety and comfort reasons, I'd go carpet. Peole may downplay the safety issue, but I know of a paraplegic person who had an apparently minor fall. Doesn't…

Some tile ranges have different sizes available in the same tile. May be you could use 300's in passage, and larger in other areas? I think I'd go…

Agree with Kyton.
If its established that the nominated grout was used, but looks different than you expected, then the best solution would be to have it colour-sealed in…
