We've had some issues recently with bass (not so much the music) from the neighbour (don't worry a few chats over a few weeks has resolved it for now).
We own…

Thanks Michelle for your reply!
Oh I thought the Signature carpet cashmere touch was one sold by Carpet Court?
I don't think it's a long pile, just softer.
Might just go with it.
We…

Hi Michelle,
What is the difference between Signature Carpet Cashmere Touch Nysoft and Solution Dyed Nylon?
We are a couple, no kids, no pets, no shoes inside and intend to stay that…

Also keen to hear more about Signature Carpet Cashmere Touch. I'm thinking of getting that as well.
It's softened nylon, so not Solution Dyed Nylon but still seems to have…

So I've been doing a bit of research on Houzz and I saw that a builder called RES Solution Design had won some Houzz design awards and I was interested…

I understand the extra cost element.
The look, I'll have to work out with an architect to see how we can minimise the top heavy aspect, to help it blend in…

Forgive me if I'm being naive, but why couldn't you create an access hatch / manhole and create enough cavity to allow someone to move around up there on beams…

Thanks so much basworth! Really appreciate it!
I'm thinking with a sufficiently high fence/parapet, I can make the angle so you are only looking down on their roofs, rather than into…

Hi!
Thanks so much for your reply.
Just a few queries:
1) Is that direct line of sight from a habitable room to a habitable room? Or line of sight from a…

I've tried to search for an existing thread but couldn't find anything.
So if you could also refer me to existing information that would be awesome!

I was considering building a two-storey house in Brisbane with a flat roof that will serve as an entertainment area.
So there'll be a 1.2m clouded/opaque fence around the top, a…

Yup indeedy! Hahaha yes I am back ...
And the plans are back on the drawing board!
Will be looking at Dodonea purpurea, Murraya or Photinia x…

Oh apologies didn't check in over the weekend!
I am in Roseville NSW. So near Chatswood (30 min north of the city).
Yup will be for the front yard.
Ohhh bottlebrushes hey...…

Was thinking box hedges but they only grow up to 1m? Or is it that ppl just cut it to 1m >.<

ohhh bummer...
What would you recommend Fu Manchu for something that looks nice and neat like that but is manageable at 1.5m?
Thank you!

I am interested in planting the following hedge:
Can someone please identify this hedge?
Also I am planning on ripping up the plants on the front lawn to plant this hedge along…

When you say landscaping does that include like paving/decking?
Like we are planning to redo the side of our house/open part of the garage into an entertainment area. This will mean…

I think its ridiculous to insist on a 3 hour minimum.
Most jobs would not take anywhere near 3 hours.
I'll definitely be double checking this before I call anyone out.
Edit: Read…

Apologies your link takes me to a bunch of floodlights?
Cannot use Metal Halide as I believe it is not suitable for sensor lights. Fluorescents are only suitable if you extend…

Turns out the safety inspector will NOT accept flourescent lighting as an alternative to the 25/75/200mm rule from Timbers.
Basically the only options are :
200mm with no heat hood
75mm with a…

I am getting an electrician to install sensors and outdoor lights for security and also for convenience (hate looking for keys in the dark outside the house).
Having read a few…

Our builder's electrician got hit with a defect notice for the installation of the down lights. The main issue is the positioning of the downlights next to and sometimes onto…

Roseville NSW (near Chatswood!)
Thanks heaps!

Feedback from two moves:
Two Men and a Truck were wonderful!
Fast efficient and honest.
Flat fee for coming out and they did not waste any time.
EJ Shaw inspected the premises, underquoted…

How does Thermalite compare with Smart Stile offered at http://www.halfpriceshutters.com.au/plantation ?
Thanks!

Hi Peaceful!
Thanks for that!
Altho I was told never to submerge the pot? This is why I am so confused >.<... some recommend it while some say its bad for the…

Thanks Fu!
My query is that people have reporting Bonsai's dying over over-watering. So I do not want to end up drowing my Bonsai!

I bought my fiance an expensive 26 year old Bonsai and wanted some help on how to take care of it.
Now most places will tell you that if you put…

Turned out the absorption pit is full!
Ugh... new absorption pit would be a short term solution.
Running a stormwater pipe would be ridiculously expensive.

Thanks! I have been singing those blanket type tanks which will be perfect beneath my deck.
My main concern is that regardless of a rainwater tank I will still need an…
