There's nice but where can you still get the incandescent bulbs from? I can't see CFLs suiting very well.

There's lots of options for that price but Harvey Norman isn't where I'd be shopping, there will be plenty of proper hi-fi shops in Melbourne with better ranges and better…

Thanks Lou, I'll take a look.

Here's where we're up to at the moment. The bricks are more brown than I expected (but they do look darker in real life than the photos). I think with…

Shale grey looks half way in between Surfmist and Dune, do you think it'll wash out too much in the sun? I'm afraid of going too dark on the grey…

An infinite baffle setup in the ceiling will give plenty of bass extension

Cheers for the suggestions. How dark/light shade do you think it would be to get a final result like the sample pictures I posted at top?

Here's a bit of a refined mock.

Yeah that's why I was reconsidering, I think the weatherboards need to be more grey to match the blacks of the roof and bricks, then use timber for colour. Same…

We're at cladding stage and I want to sort out my exterior colours before we talk to the painter.
Set colours are:
Roof - Monument
Bricks - Austral Metallix Bronze
Windows - Silver
TBC
Front Door…

What region? You'll want a 4 mil film which will bring 3mm float up to safety film specs. You'll need patience and practice to do it yourself. What were you…

Oh, no I don't believe so.

We had our lighting meeting with a lighting store some time back and I've just now been researching bulbs, lumens and lux and I think the lighting store is trying…

From memory you can test the glass with a multimeter, Comfort Plus shows some resistance.

Off Ebay!

I popped into a store and checked out the oven today, it seemed very nice with all the features, triple glazed door, good interior dimensions, warming draw, solid feel, metal…

Well I bought a Bosch dishwasher on Ebay today, RRP is $1700 and I got it for $775 with warranty until 2014 so that was a no brainer. I'm just…

Do you think it would look out of place having used appliances in a new house? The fridge and microwave will already be used SS finish (but both in good…

Generally, the darker the film the higher the heat reduction. The lightest I'd go is around 35% light transmittance, this will block about 56% of heat and will look grey…

I believe Bosch make a cheap range in Turkey (cheaper plastic components) and a better range in Germany. They look practically the same on the outside, if you open the…

Ah right, I must not have been searching very hard. I can't find more detailed specs but the ones on the brochure don't really compare to an aftermarket film
SOLAR BLOCK
Heat…

What are the specs on the Solar Block? We don't get it in Qld.

When deciding on a price for our house we thought about what the likely offers would be and raised the price appropriately. An old collegue listed his house at 240k…

We did ours just today, the joiner did a 3D model on the spot while the stylist helped with colours and materials.

Just pop into your nearest signwriting shop, we keep at least 20 different colours in stock ourselves. 600x2000mm should cost you under $50. Otherwise a dark tint can blocks 95%…

I would hesitate to paint it, too hard to reverse if you change your mind! You could easily cover it in signwriting vinyl, technique is the same as doing frosting,…

I love the spotted gum in select grade but I don't think I'll be able to afford it, it's got too much variation and veining in the lower grades for…

Timber for me, so much character and warmth, and good resale too.

I bought land last November and sold a house in Feb and both are still listed on RE. As travelbug said, it's just advertising for the agent.

Jazzie what grade timber are your floors?
