I just wanted to share my experience (no previous experience) with an airless spray unit that I purchased to save time painting our newly renovated house.
I set up the sprayer…

We were quoted $30-40 per square metre depending on what type of product we wanted on the floor. Environmentally friendly finish was more expensive for example.
Ended up doing it…

When we reno it's very exciting at the beginning, then you get a little slump in the middle.
Then you see the light at the end of the tunnel and it…

Thanks for your comments
It's good to look back at how far we have come when we get a little tired and over it. At…

We are making great progress on the house and the new verandah has been put on now. It has made a huge difference to the look of the house!

I think your option 2 works well! Make sure you have enough space between the corner and the doors so you don't have to cut the architrave down to fit…

Great photos!
Thanks for sharing

Our frame has been inspected and passed by the building surveyor so I'm happy to say that is done and over with Now…

I thought it was about time I started a thread of our own! Now that we have a lot going on with our renovation and have plenty to talk about…

That era of house and style could very well be!

Hi adyadad
Have you seen what's available at Schotts? There is a magazine called the Period Home Renovator and it has lots of great resources for this kind of stuff too.
We…

Hi guys I have got my blog up to date and thought I'd share! Our build is coming along at a great rate of knots now after taking almost a…

Before you do anything are you heritage listed? That could dictate what you can and can't do to the property!
Ours is heritage listed and we are restoring the front third…

Sounds fine to me. If you had said the dishwasher was a distance away from the sink I'd be more worried

A classification of P/M means that they identified the two kinds of soil within the samples they took. I know of someone who had this classification due to buying a…

There are heaps of things that can make a difference in price. Tile and carpet quality, paint and how many coats, type of guttering and down pipes (colour bond vs…

We came up with an idea to screen off the pergola instead of trying to screen the door. We have 4 kids so it might be a better solution for…

I stumbled upon your thread while doing a search for ikea kitchens and I love the singer table bathroom basin idea! Thanks so much for sharing...might have to steal that…

We very seriously looked into a Harkaway home a few years ago and was advised you'd spend the kit price again getting it to completion. Depends on the footings needed…

What type of windows do you have? My friend had something installed that fits in the track of the window to prevent it opening more than a certain distance (I…

Recently we have had to make some changes to windows after our planning permit was granted. Our building surveyor advised that its OK to remove a window or substitute for…

Ours had screws there but they weren't functional. They were siliconed in to the holes but not into the floor. They put so much silicone down to stick it there…

Anyone used them?
Just wondering what they are like and what they cost, if anyone can share.
Thanks

Have a look at Wolf. I think I saw something similar in one of their catalogues

Good news is that I remembered that our financial planner is also an insurance broker so I called him and he is on the case for us. He is sorting…

I've just been on the phone to RACV and am dissapointed that they won't cover our home and contents during the renovation. Our insurance would be null and void as…

After talking to a few tradesmen, we've decided not to use the foam and use foil board instead because if we need to get to the services for any reason…

Gypsum is supposed to be good for breaking up clay but I think you need to dig it through.

A friend of mine has an ensuite with similar dimensions and it works well for them

Maybe they didn't fix down it properly. Carpet and underlay can stretch so they usually cut it a bit small and stretch it to the tack strips along the edges.…
