Hi from The Shire

Hello MrsJM,
We finished building in Como back in 2009 and the house is doing well. I hope you find others here to share your experience - we found it…

Cambridge Chronicle - We Moved in a Year ago!

Hi Lex
A few months ago Penrith Air replaced under warranty the internal aircon remote controller. They also installed a magnetic interference suppressor on its connecting cable, claiming success with…

Hi Bec,
I don't think you'll find any large builders that also do demolitions. We used a company called Gabrael - I wouldn't recommend them, look at the to…

Hi Bec,
All in all, we are happy with our new home. I don't have any advice that'll help you make (or not make) the decision to take the big…

Praise for Davey Pumps

We moved into our new rebuild in July 2009, it includes a 4200 litre Bluescope rainwater tank with submerged pump. The pump and wall-mounted controller are manufactured by Davey.

Congrats on the handover DB.
I always thought that Telstra (or its contractors) worried about all street digging. In my case the pit is only about 2 metres from the…

Hi DB,
The Private Pole installed for electricity had two conduits installed between the base of the pole and the side of the house. The electrical contractor used one conduit…

Hi BNA,
Sorry I can't recommend a pool company, but we had a bad experience with a pool company a few years ago. Send me a PM if you want…

No, too much like hard work :)
It was done by a local (Sutherland Shire) company. The quality of the work looks OK, but the workers…

Yes it is - in a clever way. There are about four solid aluminium brackets bolted to the rafters under the tiles - they protrude beneath the gutter through…

As promised, here are the "before" and "after" photos of the pergola we had built next to the alfresco - it took 2 days to build, finished last week. …

Hey, themax! Thanks.
Now tell me why there's a steady stream of visitors to Southies who drive by Helldad's without even waving? themax isn't the first to mention this. …

Hi DB, so you're building in The Shire too? What area?
You'll find plenty of vents about the Bic C in these pages, and our build wasn't a hiccup-free…

Good luck with your project mecha. You can pick up a lot of support and help on this forum.
I've done quite a few tracks lately, just search for Helldad…

Hi mecha-wombat, I thought that name looked familiar. TOG|Helldad is indeed another of my names, although not very active on the forums there at present. I'm still a…

Hi everyone, the first anniversary of us moving into our new house has passed by almost unnoticed, and I have good news, especially for Clarendon customers.
The good news is…

Hi everyone. Long time no post for me!
I just had to share our new front door - promised Lex I'd post a photo of it. :)

3 Phase Power?

Yep - that's 2-phase.
The computers and the welder don't necessarily dictate 3-phase unless it's a really hefty welder with a 3-phase connection. The RC aircon is what made us…

Three wires going into the late 40's house - that sounds to me like 2-phase. Full 3-phase has 4 wires going into the house.
I don't think it will make…

Hi tanyad and Lex. Any time I can be of help just drop me a post, my colleagues bel and Southies will take care of it.

Ah yes, just thought we'd drive by to let you know we were still alive - the caravan was to make sure we got your attention. :lol:

Flooring Particle Boards Exposure to Weather

Isn't the building industry just a magnificent model of customer service?

Very swish tiling Southies, very nice indeed. If your DH didn't do it, was it the same bloke who did the other tiling jobs around here?

They're coming along nicely.
Ours are doing OK, but I can't wait for the day they join up and become A Hedge.

We ordered a mixer with retractable "vegie spray" head and it was delivered OK. I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I still haven't installed it.

Perhaps I'd better get two packets! Let me know your preferred dates. :)
