really? How? Where?

ooh, what's this? What have I been missing?

Thanks Onc,
Hadn't really considered concrete, but maybe it's time we looked at other options!

Any sale tips on pivoting wall mounts?

Onc,
Yep, we're only about 500 metres away from Mitchell.

Hmmm, some other quotes have come in similarly... and no-one can start before the new year.
I think we're dealing with heavily inflated Canberra prices and some very spoilt stimulus-boosted trades.

Hello there,
We are in Canberra, which undoubtedly automatically raises quotes by a significant amount, but we just got a quote back for a small paving job: $4,800 for around 30m2.…

Hi Michael,
Yep, still happy with the floor, and glad we've got a hard-wearing matt sealer on top. not a single scratch in the three months we've lived in the house.
We…

It's strange that no-one yet has considered the environment as a factor. Big houses use up so much more energy than smaller houses, in heating and cooling costs, as well…

We used texstain on our slab (aged terracotta). It looked beautiful, but then we put a waterbased acrylic sealer on - don't do this!!! use a harder sealer that doesn't…

Just to finish up this post satisfactorily - we have redone the floor with a non-acid concrete stain called newlook, and the result is fantastic.
We ground back the entire floor…

the photos show several issues: There are plenty of scratches going right through to the concrete, including where the painter stood (!!) on his paint…

Thanks for your replies.
I've tried to attach some photos to show the problem(s), but the computer is telling me that the board attachment quota has been reached. Is there…

My husband and I are currently owner-building our first home. We are almost done, but are now faced with a horror flooring situation.
We stained the entire internal concrete slab with…
