Things your BUILDER forgot..

Ours forgot to connect the storm water piping.
Every bit of rain meant our front yard had an impressive water feature and water gushed all over the footpath.
This carried on…

window tinting for front glass door - yay or nay?

We have all the front windows tinted, not reflective though. It looks ordinary if you just do one so hopefully you can afford to pay for all.
Ours was around…

Ours will go to 65 degrees (says on the unit) and the builder didn't want it beyond 50 either but without stinking hot water you just can't get a floor…

Be prepared for reverse kangas no matter what you have. The toilets are all shaped so that the hole is so far back, you just can't not skid.
Just saying.

I'm another that would keep the fence up. It's not necessary.

Standard roses and blackspot

Oh and if they get wet and it's cold or dark (ie. no sun on them) that's how black spot starts so only water in morning.

12 years12 years*MrsG**MrsG* posted:

Just spray them with black spot spray. Will fix it right up, no need to prune just yet.

Need above ground pool installed in werribee

Hmm prob not.
My advice? Go get a 12 foot pool from Kmart, set it up. Will cost you around $100.
Then, be prepared next year.
Sorry!

I wouldn't try and accommodate his desires. Rudeness and threats aren't the way to do it.
