OK, after 4 years of living in my new place, my flik mixer has decided to undo itself. I installed a granite benchtop and undermount sinkin my parents place and also a flik mixer but I can never get...

Yeah, its proving difficult to find seeds that arent already blended with other grasses. But Im not giving up that easily. Lawn is coming on in leaps and bounds with the rain and warmer temps, grass...

Regardless of how clean your house is inside or out, your rubbish bin will attract them. Both my recyling bin and normal bins are covered with them. And depending on where they are located they may...

I have now sprayed for the weeds and given it another cut on a lower level. Its growing very fast with the weather warming up. I now plan to seed those bare patches with rye but where can I buy the...

The SWB is in the rear yard. Its a few years old and is doing fantastic, even through winters. I mentioned it because I use the bindi on it as its the only thing that is safe to use.

The new...

I have a 3 month old lawn that has grown and knitted well considering our cold winter here in sydney. Its the exact grass from the same farm used on Flemington race coarse. Its a combination of...

I recently had a hot water mixing valve go bad and after replacing it I have not got the same water pressure that I once had. There is barely enough pressure to run the shower. Any thoughts as to...

From one Jim to another, how do I apply the cleaners?? Do I just let them sit or do I need to rub or scrub them in?? My deck has weathered for over 18months basically due to my lack of motivation to...

Ute,

I got the timber at Laws Auctions in Wetherill Park in Sydney. They have building supply auctions on tuesdays or wednesdays and you can view the catalogue online prior to the auction. I...

These chemicals for cleaning and restoring, are they harmful to grass particularly the cleaning ones?? Come contain acids and such and regardless of the answer I am looking for, I will be working...

I would go to an auction. I did and I got 550LM of mixed hardwood for under a grand. And I love the mixed look. Its very different and looks like the deck has an identity problem with the darker...

If its redundent, pull it down...I would. Think about what an ex-girlfriend might have done to you off and go at it with a sledge hammer.

Pics would be great. Been browsing the web looking for a picture of the finish that I am looking for. Im thinking 10mm gaps for mine. My slats will run horizontal the length of the deck.

I have a fair bit of decking left over from when I did the deck floor. SWMBO mentioned once or twice about using it and I said that the posts were too far apart and that it would sag and twist. I...

I am looking at creating a timber screen from the underside of my roof joist to just below the fence line (about 600mm) to create some privacy on my deck. I am wondering what the best option for...

When it comes to your decking itself, check out local auctions. I did my deck recently and got 550LM of mixed hardwood for $1.80/LM and the mixed colours look sensational. Im not suggesting you go...

That makes heaps more sense. Although the other strip footings would be all at the same level but one big footing would make it heaps more rigid other than 3 seperate footings working individually....

Point taken BT..with only having the two steps, what size footing would you suggest?? I was thinking 200x300. Is that overkill for a small amount of weight? Should the footing be given time to set or...

I used to live in the US which is where I got the idea from. They do some amazing work and the craftsmanship is top notch not only in the kitchens but throughout the house. I want to thank you all...

Thanks Bob. Although like your picture does show the full effect, neither does the one I have posted. Im not going to go as far as sanding through some colours to expose the colour underneith, but...

I want to know how to acheive the look. Preperation, the correct paint to use, application methods. From what I have seen in showrooms there is a base coat followed by a darker colour(presuming we...

I know, it has a thousand different names but its all achieved through the same technique, HAND PAINTED. I have fallen in love with the effect of this finish, the only thing is that it costs a small...
