Hmmmm....wonder how i could go about hiring one of those guys from the competition to build my 14m long front Fence??? Given they would do the job in one day, I figure the price of the return...

Thanks Utemad....great to have some input, I too was waiting for a flurry of replies!

Your thoughts on the battens, would these be like "blocks" of wood at various measured heights, or would I be...

At the front of our house, there is a small raised balcony 2m deep and about 6m wide. It runs from the front door to a corner of the house. Standard deck/joists construction.

When it rains, no...

After significant amount of reading and review on this and other forums/sites I purchased at the end of January one of the new Panasonic Multi-Impact Drill Drivers (the 14.4Volt Li-Ion EY7542).

Thanks for trying...all roads lead to Solomit...I've covered them in the first post; they make the 149 dollar panels.

I know they are out there somewhere (legitimate rolls of thick brush)....just...

No one else???

I went and saw some stuff today - the person told me that it was 30mm thick, in a 3m roll. Never seen so much crap in my life, it was lucky to be 10mm thick. Could not believe he...

Do you have the time, energy, motivation to do it yourself?

Many of us experience similar reactions - spend a truckload just to get started. These days I only get trades support where I can...

You did a fantastic job of replicating the original fence by the way. Well done!

Hi
I'm wanting to cover the two existing wooden fences with Brush.

I already have some existing Brush Fence Panels on the rear fence. These are the (seemingly fairly standard) ones that are 1.8m...

It's really good Chriska - just get someone trained in doing voiceovers to provide the instructions - no offense!

I'd been aiming for something like a neutral decking oil, but I might even consider putting acrylic on it (used for decking) - still neutral though, no tint.

I expect to be getting my redgum on...

SURE! I'd love to see a pic of what you are planning, a staked stone water wall is also a feature I am interested in trying to put into the garden somewhere.

I just picked up the Panasonic EY7542LN2S, also known as the 14.4V Multi-Driver. $599 and Pana have a bonus deal at the moment for a free torch and kit bag.

I'm very happy with it's short...

What would you suggest for a more modern look then? Hebel rendered? Welcome to suggestions, but it needs to blend with the rest of the yard and house, which is weatherboards.

The surrounding...

The length required (around 170mm, as each sleeper is 75mm) seems hard to get hold of; couple of company's said longest available is 130mm. Others had access to the 170mm.

170mm SS Cup Bolt =...

Would not the karcher be super noisy? You might end up being cool, but I think i would be sitting there with ear plugs on.:cool:

I am wanting to construct a couple of garden beds along the fences on the sides of our block.

Similar to the attached photo, they will be oiled redgum sleepers, likely two high, with a...

Mitre 10 and Bunnings have plans for building retaining walls.

I followed a combination of the deck plans on my deck, plus advice from forums...I plan to do the same on the retaining walls/garden...

Here are some pictures showing progress, that I have finally been able to get off the camera.

Rough outline of pictures (had some file size issues)...

1st shows the sandbox frames going up....

Make sure you get the heavy duty ones though...the lighter versions are too weak, don't turn into a spreader and snap under the load (taking it back to Bunnings).

I'm generally using them in...

Thanks Brynk!

I understand what you mean about those transverse bearers; I'll have a look and see what I can install to allow that middle support you have identified.

All my posts are already...

Hi,
First time builder...I got tired of sitting in the office all day tapping a keyboard and thought I would take on some construction challenge.

Learning a lot from reading posts on here, but I...

I did do a search by the way, to try and find if others had this problem (only relevant post I could find was to do with the laser, which I have not setup yet).

I'm sure I could flip the timber...

Hi,
I'm building a deck, and bought today the SCMS DeWalt DW718 from Bunnings. The main reason that I purchased this saw was that I was assured it could cut through 100m X 100m posts.

I've got...
