In my experience...I suppose it depends on the washer, but you remove the wingnut on the agitator, which is down the middle tube, you need to get your arm in there, once the agitator is removed, you...

Outwards...but I am not a chippy, mine are on the outside of the door (external) and on the door that is generally closed.

My nail gun uses full rounded head, it's a DeWalt Framing Gun, I normally buy my nails from Bowens in Croydon, I know I pay a bit more than the clipped head nails, but a box can last me a fair while,...

I have a current Building Permit in front of me, issued December 2007, to be started by December 2008, to be completed December 2009.

I am pretty sure concrete is up around $170 a metre in Melbourne so on Pagie's sums you would be looking at $1300 approx for concrete.I stand to be corrected though.:U

They are beautiful, and to think I have been burning all mine, but then again I don't have the equipment to recycle.

Just to add my 2 bobs worth, I would imagine it would be a haven for rodents, i.e rats, mice and possums.:oo:

Looks great Jappa, look forward to your progress.:2tsup:

Thanks for all your replies...I will take on board.:)

Also, Great job Tengals, fantastic summary of the work you have done, and great job. Pagie, I reckon the Hartley would be too big and heavy to tip on its side...depends on the size of it of course.

Good luck with it CSP, I have a little experience with boats, might be able to help, but as you, I am pretty flat-out doing rennovations. I also have a neighbour who is a service manager at a marine...

Gday all,
Looking at the GMC Drywall Screw Gun,
http://www.gmcompany.com.au/index.cfm?module=products&pid=567
do you reckon it would be suitable for roofing screws?:?

Bob,
I have been to Arlec also, and their tools are rubbish, but there is a Black & Decker and Dewalt factory outlet in Chirnside Park on Fletcher Road, I bought a Nail Gun and Drill from there a...

Good luck Tom, I am sure you will get outbid, but surely someone can pick it up for you. I know the feeling though.:U

Thanks Mick for the response, the roof is 30 degrees, valley lenth approx 4m, location Melbourne East.

G'day all,

Madrat, if you are meaning the toilet, vanity etc, I would tile first, then place the items back, it is a lot easier to place a toilet over tiles than cutting tiles around the base etc. not only does...

About to replace my roof also with Colourbond, however just wondering about the scaffolding rules etc, instead of scaffold, can I use a harness for safety.
I can't see how you would attached...

I know Bunnings have them, also I have bought some from Bowens, they both don't have a large selection, mainly the tear drop style, I think you call it, mine are hardwood and pretty expensive.

G'day Budgie,
Sounds pretty similar to the size of my roof, I am pretty sure I used 250 x 50 for the side beams and 200 x 50 (or maybe 150) for the rafters...all in pine...not absolute sure...

I used gal angle brackets on all my rails...not sure if that suits you, but worth a thought.

While digging up the garden, I found a very old diamond ring, 80-100 years old, gave it to the wife thinking it was a bit of costume jewllery, upon getting a valuation from the jeweller, was worth in...

Could also be a dirty keyboard...a few breadcrumbs etc...give it a gentle blow out with the compressor...can't hurt.

G'day Phylis, welcome to the forum, I had our place restumped a few years back, and they lifted half the house about 6 inches, so you can imagine the movement in all the timber thoughout the frame...

Sorry Groggy....she admitted she rang the council...:mad:

Sorry...should have put it in the rennovations forum...:)

I need to share my frustrations with you guys...I have mentioned previously about my neighbour...well the sh*t has hit the fan...the trouble has been slowly brewing over a few months...I started...

I did some on my garage extension...mixed up normal sand/cement...stuffed around for ages...but got most of the end gables done...then you finish with stuff like...flexi-point...that is coloured and...

Blocklayer...that is sensational...not that I know what you were asking, but the calculator and concept of the thing is brilliant. Well done.:)

I haved used Capral too...a lot more variety than Bunnings and a lot cheaper.

Thinking a bloody long way out of the square...but worth a try...BEES WAX...:)

I don't reckon you can beat concrete stumps...cheap as chips too...that's my 2 bobs worth.

On the TV the other night, Hot Property, the bloke on there was building a massive garage, and he got his concrete coloured, they reckon it can cost a fair bit more, not sure but I think they said a...

From my experience, I woould suggest 3 studs each end under the lintel, they are the ones that hold it up...that's how I did the lintel on the garage I just built.

I have found success in not going through the whole tile from one side, drill half way, then turn it over and come in from the other side...give it a try...may do the trick

Very interesting and pretty hard question to answer, from my experience...I think I would go for the beef.:)

Nice workshop...and tools, you have nicer benches and cupboards in the shed than I have in the house....:rolleyes:

Bloody neighours...I reckon wait till she complains again...then tackle her...my bloody neighbour...told me to turn 6 o'clock rock down the other night, wasn't very loud, and at 8pm on Saturday...

G'day All,
Where can I get a couple of blocks of that Hebel stuff in Melbourne outer east, just need to do a small job, does anyone know the size blocks they sell, and roughly cost...Thanks Leeton

Well when I say the kids...it is for my daughters 21st, and I made the Jukebox...cost me bugger all..but you should see the rest of the shed...just quietly it is a secret passion of mine, I am doing...

Well I went for the Berger Paint, so much better than the White Knight stuff, but still had trouble with masking off, it bleed under the tape as I guessed it would, so I hand painted all the edges...
