If you do a search on SCMS you will find many varying answers, however the main point is you only get what you pay for.

The cheapies are renown for in-accuracy and having poor quality blades that...

Just be aware Zilla, and read the warnings on the pack, that your dogs will find snail bait delicious and if spread irresponsibly it will KILL them.

As Skot says it is easy and didn't take long.
The inner copper cylinder I cut up with snips and dropped through the manhole. It took longer to clean up the mess and cart it all outside than...

Surely Autogenus you cant be serious?



We use that cheap looking rubbish to line expressways as a noise barrier and somewhere for the graffiti vandals to amuse themselves. They are constantly...

From the last Reece link the bath is not designed to be sealed into a wall along its edge (having no lip) but sealed at its under-edge onto a hob-type of wall.

Have you considered Boral Gardenwall blocks as an alternative?

No footing to pour, can be built up to 1m high, various colours and look heaps better than Besser blocks.

If Dr Razzles reno was cornice-less 15 years ago, I think he could have another problem with the new intended cornice adhering to the paint?
What say you Rod?

I guess smaller things amuse even smaller minds.

Weed matting (black shiny stuff) was used extensively by the previous owner of my home over 9 years ago and bit by bit I am pulling it out. Even though the layer of woodchip mulch is very thin and...

I bought a Victa VE40 2 stroke mower last month for $389. Because my whipper snipper and blower are 2 stroke I kept with the same motor. Sure there are more expensive models/brands but I like hanging...

The words GMC and accurate do not go together.

Hopefully Cin you will find the 'bottom sheet with a few dings' is a packing sheet to protect the others and is discarded.

I'm not going top be much help Rsser, but your dilemma highlights the need for careful selection of polycarbonate sheeting with regard to light vs heat transmission.

Perhaps if you get a Laserlite...

Looking at your job again I remember way back installing a 1500 long cast iron bath tight between 2 walls, much like yours only a rectangular shape. It was a real cow of a job and I pitied the poor...

Obviously Yonnee you are confusing 'internal' brackets. The one you refer to (I think) has a short leg underneath the gutter sits on and an upper piece that clips over the back and another bit that...

Your argument doesn't wash with me and following your theory Familyguy there would be no need to licence anyone. It would be open slather for all.

Anyone could get advice and when it all went...

You are correct Spruik.

The brackets that you have are attached ON the ribs either fixed through to the C section or simply pop riveted to the rib itself.

My Easybuilt (or Olympic) garage does...

Yes I echo what he said!

Before recently having my air-con installed I got in a sparky to install a wired smoke detector and remove a ceiling fan installed by the previous owner. The sparky...

With respect, it sounds like Damo 182 is relatively inexperienced and could open a pandoras box trying to remove old skirtings to scribe them to the floor.

5mm is a fair gap plus what he will lose...

What ever you decide I would immediately wedge over the steel stauncheon OR put a substantial prop under concrete roof before it does more damage to the walls, and keep an eye on it should it settle...

I cant understand why you want to cut a 'mini bath' in halves.

I subbied for a bathroom renovator recently and removed full sized cast iron baths in one piece on my own. Sure they are heavy, but...

Rod is the expert in this field Family Guy.

Its something I have wondered about considering more outlets are only stocking all purpose.

There is heaps of info on scms's if you do a search.

Your choice will depend on what you need it to do and how much you are prepared to spend.

Last year I bought a Makita LS 1013 because I...

Err I disagree Dazzler. From the Victa website -- "Victa ECO TorqueVEX60 (a larger model 2 stroke) offers EXTRA high torque at low revs".

Mine is a smaller version of the preceeding.

Or if you are going to have pavers or dirt floor use several long tent hold down hooks hammered well into the ground.

Most hardware stores have kit toy-sized sheds or Stratco, Yellow pages etc.

Remember you only get what you pay for. I have seen ultra el-cheapo tiny garden sheds virtually blow apart in strong...

I think with car parking near the top you will need an engineer's report.

I think you will have to go far deeper as you are asking an awful lot of the wall.

Ive used Boral Garden Wall to about 750mm high on a well compacted dolomite base. You can be creative with curves and steps etc and they look good

What bothers me about your area is the once you...

Just bought a Victa 2 stroke (as my whipper snipper and blower are 2 stroke) VE40 mower for $389. Its lightweight and easy to use.

I suppose the argument will start over which is best 2 or 4...

I can relate to Krazee's above post. An elderly friend had the same brand as I installed (Fujitsu ducted inverter system) and has had the bottom fan in the outside unit seize after only 9 months....

Look up-- www.bluescopesteel.com.au
go to product lysaght klip lok 406 and scroll down to FAQ's where they dont recommend removing the deck.

Because the fixing clips are clipped over the...

The seat looks a fair weight in itself plus allowing for a couple of perhaps heavy weight adults (or kids jumping around) and you are asking an awful lot on the brackets.

I think Wheelinround's...

Others may have a different answer, but all we have ever done on bay window guttering is to install a little 'pissa' pipe about 25mm diam x 150mm long (trimmed back with a fancy cut end) that just...

Wild Dingo IF you adopt that attitude toward tradies you encounter I think they will give you pretty short shrift. I am an 'old' tradesman approaching retirement and personally find your post...

I think around 300mm would be deep enough for plants, perhaps even first digging in a layer of gypsum to break down the clay to assist with drainage.

From my experience with mushroom compost I...

G'day Saltbox.

When I had a lawn mowing round several years ago I had all 2 stroke and they were virtually indestructible. Victa mowers (2str had better torque at low revs) Shingu w/snippers and...

'Under $100' = wishful thinking.

I'm guessing, to an extent, here.

Having to service each level, or both, sounds like you would need a ducted (inverter) system with zones that can be isolated at different times. Cheaper ducted...

Tiger after I weld galv I wire brush the joint clean and use galvastick or cold solder applied with a very light oxy flame and wire brush then touch up with coldgalv paint (spray can) and touch up...

Provided the hinges are reasonably sound, why not run an angle grinder cut through the top frame of either gate along side the upright and reweld? That should be enough to stop them binding

I wonder if this 'tightening every hole' theory came from the old 4-jaw lathe chucks etc that had each of the 4 jaws moving independently?

Gooner for many years I was a plumber, cutting and chasing brickwork for hot & cold water piping, way back when houses were solid brick. Plus working in demolition for bathroom/kitchen upgrades and...

Breathing in dust won't affect you in the short term but IT WILL as you get older. I wore a respirator etc most times, when I was working in conditions that I could barely see after cutting brick...

Scooter perhaps your brother could do a phone around of his local timber suppliers in the yellow pages to save travelling across town.

I recently purchased a Stihl 2 stroke blower (a top machine) and there was no mention of running it in, in the book.

I initially chose to run it at medium revs for short 5-10min sessions until...

I purchased my old Shingu straight shaft w/s many years ago and put it straight to work on my then lawn mowing round. Its still going strong and only played up when the spark plug was dying or the...

Why not try phoning your nearest Dulux Trade Centre and take a picture along when purchasing.

I cant help you, only sympathise.

I remember when they bought this rubbish texture-coat paint out in a rough and also a finer finish supposedly to hide bodgy looking ceilings. I wondered then what...

I agree with Barry.

People cover their entire pergolas with Laserlite etc only to find the heat becomes an issue especially if its a flat roof with no through air flow. I have seen steeper...

IF you heating the copper to cherry red you are definitely overheating it, risk the chance of it crystalising and having it breakdown over time.

I would NOT use 'lead/tin' solder as it does not...
