Looks like we'll have to do something similar and keep most of our stuff in the garage then. Not looking forward to it and I'm crossing my fingers the floor…

We have a dilemma in that we have to be out of our rental by 24th April, and although we will probably have handover on 18th April the company that…

Hi
We have a similar sized block but with a more substatial sideways slope and did have problems because of this. We finally persuaded Eden Brae to customise one of their…

We chose the Monier Barramundi tiles for our place. When I first saw them on the roof I thought they'd put the wrong tiles on as they looked lighter, but…

Thanks Shady, seem like you're a neighbour then. Yes our supervisor is Brett and so far we're very happy with him, as any problems I mention he get fixed asap.…
