The mosaics mean a lot of grout (to clean), the pebbles end up almost 50% grout. Look trendy (for now) but will probably date (remember Mission Brown?) and will be a pain to clean.

Mirz, you're not going to get a decent pull-out mixer for $150. I sell one for $200 and I'm not too keen on that. Value for money, I think the starting point for a good mixer with veg-spray is the...

Soundman, you seem to hve made your mind up you're right and are looking for reasons to support your viewpoint. The term Cramp is still used in TAFE courses (in SA at least) as an alternative/variant...

This post is full of opinions and short on facts, so I'll add my opinion:D .

Firstly, Silent, I'm sorry but the reason they charge you the lower price (on the first item) is a code of practice,...

Can you reference your comment about the illegality of venting into roof space? Poor practice, possibly (this is debatable) but illegal? References, please.
