Hi All,

I have a rubbish removal company, which removes all kinds of odds and ends.

Recently we did a job for a local business that was clearing out their shed. The shed used to be used as a...

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knows whether or not Amalgamated Timber in Toowoomba are up and running since the floods.

Any info would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Hi,

I would like to build the JayCar unit into a self contained box with a master and slave outlet, as you describe above. Furthermore, I'd like to be able to switch between the 250W -...

I just realised that I often have my drop saw and vac plugged into the same 10A outlet (double adapter). This would result in ~13A draw, which I guess is also not an ideal scenario.

May look at...

Thanks for the input. Much appreciated

Hi,

Just looking to get some input on the maximum load that a built in master/slave switch on a shopvac can handle.

I may be better off posting this in an electrical forum, but I know this is a...

Thanks for the replies.

Grahame, I will try reduce the gas a little - regulator is currently at about 15 L/min. I've been trying to get the "sizzling bacon" sound effects going - will keep at it....

Hi all,

I am new to welding. I've played around a little with a stick welder, which I was absolutely hopeless with, so I recently purchased a MIG (Cigweld Transmig 200), which I'm led to believe...

Thanks Grahame - looks like this will be a fantastic thread. Don't have any questions at the moment, but I'm sure i'll have plenty as the thread progresses...

Hi,

I'm new to MIG welding, and have been considering doing a short course. I found this one at Swinburne Uni:
...

Thanks for the replies.

I haven't actually collected the welder yet, but I'll ask for paperwork for the cylinder (I know he has paperwork for the welder, but not sure about cylinder).

The full...

Hi all,

I recently purchased a CIG Transmig 200, which includes a full G-size bottle of gas. The seller tells me that the bottle is owned outright, and that I will just need someone with an...

Thanks Mick, didn't think of that :doh:

Hi,

I have a Hettich Slideline55 slidiing door track to install.

I have been trying to work out which router bit (size and profile) would be the best to use for routing out the groove for the...

Thanks for the quick replies guys :2tsup:

The wall is not square with the adjacent walls.

The issue I had, is that the floor in our kitchen is being tiled to a point that abutts our adjoining...

Hi All,

I'm in the process of renovating the kitchen. One of the walls is waaaay out of square, which is going to make life very difficult when the time comes to install the kitchen cabinets.

Hi All,

I am finalising the details for our kitchen reno, but I am having trouble with drawer sizes.

I am planning on having 2 drawer banks of 900mm(w) x 650 or 750mm (d) drawers. Will...

Hi all,

Could anyone recommend/suggest what the norm is for benchtop overhangs (taking into account the 18mm door)?

Also, is there a norm for the overhang of the carcass over the kickboard?
...

Thanks CE, will give it a go

Thanks Dean.

Managed to finally get the SOB off, using WD40 and heat.

Unfortunately the reg and guages are specific for the compressor I have, but the supplier has offerred to try and chase...

Hi All,

I recently bought an air compressor, and changed the quick connect fittings on the regulator to nitto type fittings. I have since noticed some fine cracks appearing around the new...

Thanks CE.

As you can see from my original post I was originally intending to tile first, but I'm a bit nervous about drilling the newly laid ceramic tiles. Any tips on the best technique for...

Thanks CE and Eli.



So this is the kickbox that gets screwed to the floor? How are the brackets at the front hidden from view?

I gather a kickbox is the same as a ladder base, just...

Thanks Don, message sent.

Thanks Don77.

The system will be used for both heating and cooling.

I have been trying to get quotes for inverter systems, which I believe will be more efficient and cheaper to run - it's not...

Thanks for that feedback, very useful! :2tsup:

The outdoor unit is actually going to be very near our bedroom, and our neighbors bedroom as well, so noise is an issue for us.

Sounds like it...

Thanks Mick, will look into those as well, sound good. :2tsup:

Thanks Earl, thats very useful.

I may have to rethink my design a bit.

The carcasses are pretty tall, at 785mm, to match up with some existing cabinets in the kitchen. It's actually one of the reasons I was tending towards those feet. We are having 40mm tops fitted, so...

Thanks Earl.

So, with the legs you recommend, I would need ~100mm+ kickboards to hide them?

How do these legs attach to the carcass, so that they are half under the gable of each carcass?...

Hi all,

I'm going to be putting together a bunch of new cabinets for the kitchen, which will form a U-shaped kitchen, topped off with a large U-shaped Caeserstone top.

I am planning to tile...

Good tip, thanks :2tsup:

Hmm, thanks for that.

I have looked at the sheet again. Seems it is more like 6mm. I am struggling to find a full size sheet, but the measurement you give seems to be about right (1220 x 915)....

Thanks Michael.


Excuse my ignorance :B, but does using a 3mm notch trowl mean tht the glue will add a 3mm layer to the overall height of the floor?

thanks,
Jonty

Hi All,

I am soon going to be laying ceramic floor tiles in our kitchen (~12sqm). The area currently has 4mm masonite over pine floorboards (used to have lino over the masonite).

Would it be...

Thanks durwood, I'll definitely look into those options.

I'm also interested in finding out about the details for the MDF doors - I'll be adding several new cupboards during the kitchen reno.

Thanks for the tips, much appreciated

I haven't sprayed enamel before - haven't sparayed anything before, other than rattlecans...:doh:

I am planning to set up a spare room as a painting...

Hi all,

I am going to be repainting kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors, wardrobe cupboard doors, skirtings, architraves and bedroom doors in the near future.

I was hoping to use a spray gun...

Ply is what was recommended to me by the flooring mob, where I have purchased my Karri T & G flooring. It is not going to be installed in any wet areas, just dining room, living room and passage.
...

Thanks for all the advice, much appreciated!

I was planning to nail the sheets through the pine flooring (22 or 25mm boards) into the joists, so I guess I'll be using at least 50mm anchors - is the coil gun or crown staple gun still recommended...

Thanks, so that's 1 vote for "C" in my drawing.

Would I be better off using 9mm ply as an underlay? I am trying to keep the floor level down, as it's already going to present a problem marrying...

Hi All,

Within the next few months I'll be embarking on installing my new floors.

For those that have not seen my other posts, I'll be laying 2400 x 1200 x 4mm ply sheets over the existing T...

It's an extension...I gather these beams have something to do with it being an extension then?

The other thing is the beams in question are only present in the one room, they don't span across...

The joists run in the same direction as the beams in the picture (east-west), with the floorboards running north-south over them.



Currently floor to bottom of beams is 2550mm, our floor is...

Thanks for the quick replies!

I'll remove the timber cornice, as per your suggestion, and see if I can get a better idea of what's going on.

The ceiling is already fairly low, as you picked...

Hi all,

I am in the process of renovating my house. One of the jobs I have planned is to remove a few beams that are running accross the ceiling in one of the rooms.

I am almost 100% certain...

Thanks for the replies thus far.

TM & Tools: This sounds like a good idea, obviously a lot cheaper than installing 120sqm of ply. I imagine the masonite or ply packing should be glued and...

Firstly, I appologise for the barrage of posts - I have tried to search, but haven’t managed to find the answers I desire. Either my search skills are extremely poor, or I don’t know the right jargon...
