I appreciate the offer Simon but the old man has said he is pretty keen to do some work with it too so we might just bit the bullet and get one.

If anyone has an idea would love to know. I rang some mobile places and most wanted to cut the railing out and take off site so I have not been able to get an actual cost. I also have some areas that...

I have to agree with Bleedin thumbs but if you do use gravel and no weed matting the gravel will eventually mix with the soil and sink into it. If you plan to use mulch I would not use it as the idea...

You may need to talk to a solicitor for the exact wording but your appeal should detail the fact that it is pushing up the council footpath (and you will not be held liable for costs to repair...

Thanks for the advise Barry. Would it also be OK then to use crusher dust to pack behind the blocks for drainage or should I be using a larger size gravel.

I was just wanting to see what people recommend or have used for bedding garden edge blocks. I am looking at using Boral Gardenwall blocks unless I find anything cheaper. The problem is it is on a...

Thanks for that so I guess I can go ahead and add hardener to the paint. Would you be able to tell me which hardener you used as I have been told that maybe not all hardeners will be compatable with...

Durwood would be interested to hear your findings. As it has chosen to rain in brisbane today and maybe for teh next few days painting will be on hold for a while anyway.

Just as a note to anyone else who might be interested I called the White Knight Technical line today in regards to adding hardeners to their Enamel Paints and they advised me not to as they have...

I would be interested to know more about the hardener to use. Is it able to be used in the rust kill type paints or only car enamel paints.

Fipronil is used as the active ingredient in a number of products available over the counter including flea and tick control for your cat and dog. Check a "frontline" for cats or dogs label.:o

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but we are currently removing the rust from the railings and steel plate around the edge of the patio. Where there has been some thicker rust we are left...

I know you can use phosphoric acid to convert the rust but what about the primer for metal. I have been told you should use undercoat for metal to prevent rust returning and one of those kill rust...

Macgregor

I can always hope.

Does anyone know a good hardware shop in brisbane other than bunnies to get supplies. I am after a fair bit of undercoat and top coat for metal the no rust kind (kill rust, rust guard etc) and around...

OK I have gone for the epoxy adhesive option. I had some in the house that was a clear setting one. I taped around the crack to keep the epoxy adhesive from gpoing everywhere. As soon as I spread it...

OK looks like the cross your fingers and see method it is. Thanks for the help.
