Yes you can use the render bags from bunnings but they are more expensive then making it yourself with plasterers sand and cement.

The Dulux product IS supposed to fill the mortar gaps but I've never met anybody who has had it work for them (as well as rendering/bagging).

I asked the question about the product about 6...

Ive got a tap in my bathroom that is from the 80's or so and has developed a leak. Normally I'd just change the washer but after taking the tap top off (flippin hard job as it was) and the whole tap...

Hi R,
You can buy the straps to lock the cover. I do believe you 'technically' require a license for the spa but thats a whole nother argument. We have a lockable cover that can hold 125KG so we...

Thanks spoonman,
to be honest I was being a little lazy and was kind of hoping someone had an idea that I could borrow without doing the research.
I have done the research now but SWMBO has told me...

More information is required, ie. what kind of spa? what sort of heater/pump/filter?
Whether you want to install above/below ground.

What exactly do you want to know? I have just gone through...

If my dog wouldnt rip that to pieces Id get you to come build one at my place. Looks great!
Just keep practicing, make lots of mistakes, and then learn from them.
Also gives you a good excuse to...

I know you havent asked about this but have you considered putting a roller door on the back as opposed to double doors? Probably a bit more money but I reckon they're worth it. (especially if you...

Good stuff. Will need to go in and give it a go I think.

Thats a good round-a-bout figure, thanks.

The Mrs would love me for getting her a little pressie :)

I love it when my cynical side is right for once.
We all know what they say about products too good to be true. Oh well, off to get some more practice on the rendering.
thanks for all the opinions...

I would say they are very similar products at a quick look. Was your rolled/sprayed on?
What sort of look does it give? More of a render or a painted wall?
Do you have a picture of what it looks...

Today I came across this stuff "Dulux Full Cover Exterior Texture". I went to there website and did some reading on it and basically its an alternative to rendering and then painting....

Hey John,
Thanks for the response.
The plan is definately to support it off the walls but to be honest, I hadnt really thought of the gutter situation.

They are normally, but not like plumbing. Its a clear glue that is much weaker.. made by Stanley I think was the stuff I saw my leccie use. The idea isnt so much that the joints wont move EVER but...

You dont have to remove the plaster... but I would recommend it, especially if your attaching too a stud wall already, it will make it much easier/stronger.

You dont have to remove the carpet......

I have also had good reports about Shedman & thats where my MIL got hers from & it was a very reasonable price/quality. Let us know how you go on as I'm looking for one a similar size/price.

Would probably be worth listing them as well as private messages for when others do searches. I know of an Architect but it will end up costing you the world...

They had lights and electricity back then?

I have recently finished building a treated pine shell for my above ground spa. I am looking at cladding it using 12mm tongue & groove pine mainly due to the low cost.
I have two questions.....
