Hi,
Looks like a caterpillar. White cabbage butterfly like Brassica species, including kale.
Dipel is a spray that kills caterpillars. The other thing that can help is to cover with a net.
I…

Just wanted to let anyone on the central coast NSW know that you can buy molasses at CRT (Coastal Rural Traders) at Ourimbah.
They sell 2L bottles for $3.50 (I think)…

Well the umbrella arrived last week & I have set it up & tested it out on the weekend.
My initial comment is that it is imperative to have something heavy…

Well I've ended up ordering one of the el cheapos on DealsDirect ($61 in total including postage).
I will report back once it arrives to let you know if the quality…

Thanks kexkez, Geoff, bpratt & HomeAngels for the replies.

That's what I'm worried about HomeAngels, not it blowing over but it swinging around with the slightest breeze.
Maybe I'll go with a…

Hi,
Thinking about getting a cantilever umbrella but concerned about their tendency to be susceptible to breezes.
Does anyone have an opinion on them?
There are some real cheap ones (less than $100)…

Hi crumpsbuild,
I am also on the central coast (Avoca) & have used a local tree lopper before (but nowhere near as big a job).
I think you need to get more…

It looks a bit like a broad leaved privet in the close up photo to me.

Check with your local council whether they would be…

Hi,
The $120 price doesn't sound too bad, not sure about the other quote.
I have used the framing place frameshop.com.au twice & both times the prices & service have been…

Not quite exactly the same but in my recent bathroom reno I had 250 x 500 ivory tiles laid vertically.
I also agree with JB1 that having them vertical is more…

Hi balilover
It's all good & well to say you don't want any less than $350 but is that what you think the current market price for it is. If you…

Hi,
I am not in real estate but have recently sold & purchased in NSW.
My limited understanding of it is that the vendor is the one that may run into issues…

Hi Grimey,
Do you just want the architrave & sill to be white or are you going to try & paint the aluminium window frame white as well?
If it is just…

Hope someone can help me with a recommendation.
Needing to get some retaining walls built, probably treated pine depending on price.
I am based at Avoca Beach on the Central Coast, NSW.
Anyone…

I am getting a new garage/carport in colorbond sheeting & would love some feedback on colours. It is situated away from the house so no need to match up with…

Sorry for the delay, haven't checked computer recently. Main reason I don't like it is compared to the Bosch it is much harder to pack & fit things in. I…

Hi,
The house I recently sold had Bosch gas cooktop/dishwasher/rangehood.
No probs with any of them, esp loved the dishwasher. So, I think you have chosen well with Bosch.
Why not…

Hi beth95,
I think professional photos & good internet ad are the most important. Most buyers nowdays tend to research on line so you need photos that stand out.
Agree with travelbug…

Try to get the photos to work again

Hi Russell,
My rangehood is similar. The plasterer build a box to surround the duct pipe (I think from MDF) & cut the cornice to go around. In my kitchen the…

Thanks heaps for the speedy reply.

Hi everyone,

Hi everyone, thought I would try & upload some photos of my kitchen as everyone loves looking at new photos!
The kitchen was installed about 18mths ago but still is "new"…

I have them on my kitchen doors. They work well. They are easily clipped on & off the hinge after installation. I think there is only 1 per door ie…

I am thinking of sticking with the basic square shape as the shower is not going to be overly big (900x900 or possibly 900x1000).
I was thinking along the lines…
