Sand Filter vs Cartridge Filter

I've met many people who have had both. I am yet to come across one who, given the choice again, has chosen to go with a cartridge filter. I'm…

Hmm, maybe it does. For it is engineers that certify them for use on much more substantial projects than a backyard deck. I think I will back the…

Groundscrews will be fine. Take a look at www.krinner.com.au and go to the photos and testimonials section. Check out the pre-fab school building and…

Go for Ducted vacuum or not?

We have one and I think they are great for the hard floors.
Need a vac with a powerhead to clean the carpets appropriately.

I bought a cheap (under $200) from bunnings 9 years ago that is still going very strong on my 5 acre property - it gets plenty of heavy duty brush…

True, but in the absence of an explanation, modern science doesn't simply make up a fairy tale.

I agree. Both are impossible tasks.

Just as the word "fact" doesn't belong in the same sentence as Fengshui, nor does the word "science". The principles of the scientific method includes making empirical observations, proposing…

Fake 40mm Caesar stone....worth it?

Me too. 20mm is a much cleaner look to my eye.

caesarstone vs laminex

Do you seriously think that laminate is as durable, chip and scratch resistant and heat resistant as CS?
Apart from looking a lot better in most peoples opinion, CS and others…

Mortgage Protection Insurance Vs Income Protection Insurance

Anyone who couldn't continue to meet their needs if they couldn't work due to injury or illness (most people) need income protection insurance. Remember it is also tax deductible.

Agreed. They are hanging on to a tradition that evolved due to lack of an affordable and readily available better alternative ie. paper. Now the alternative is here…
