thanks guys, found out today that the one going to the house is an old one and the one that goes to the front of the house is actually the one that feeds the house, they certainly went the long way...

in my first house I put in a remote sliding gate, it worked a treat. welded up my own gate out of rhs and clad it with corro and had a flashing made up to cover the ends and top. it sat on wheels...

cheapest I reckon would be to just lay pavers over the top, how thick is the base? If its a proper slab say 75mm it would make the ideal base. Look for seconds pavers or even in the trading post...

I wish I had a dollar for the amount of times I see roadworkers put those signs up without an end sign and the appropriate speed sign, I would be rich.

come on drum I was waiting for a pat on the back about my great idea

are they fair dinkum, the scary part is someone will buy it.

what a great idea that square drain is, where did you come up with that. (he he)

if you are doing it yourself definately get polyester batts or similar not glass wool they are a bit cheaper but they are EVIL. 2 years ago I did my house I used r3 polyester from insulation...

dont know about bunnings but reece or one of your plumbing shops will have them. I also have seen ones that are recessed into the floor and you can put one of your tiles in the top. all you see is...

midge I agree cameras set up there are just rubbish.

you could always pull the drain out and put in a square type there are a few on the market, heres one below, but it will probably be easy to keep going the way your going.
...

Flow if I didnt do it I would gladly go to court over the epa issue. Thanks for the apology ross. Thanks JMK, Like dan said less than 1% get booked by police for less than 9ks over, I can honestly...

well ross it was the way you were having a go at the person who booked you that they are on some sought of quota, wanting to rise through the ranks etc that I took offence at.
Lets look at your...

I agree midge I wasnt having a go, there are some that shouldnt be worked but alot have the low speed limit signs all the time because of a number of reasons no emegency lane, no lines, gravely...

well said exador I agree totally there are some useful coppers and I work with a few, they do set up in easy spots, but there arguement is that the person driving sets the outcome, like I said the...

I know here in Vic there is no quota that we have to meet, no riseing through the ranks for getting lots of tickets.

The number of traffic coppers on the road compared to drivers is quite small...

as one of those trying to rise through the ranks ross, what a load of crap. You did the wrong thing and got caught accept. I agree 100% with dazzler.

just use the 22mm thick particle board for 600mm spacings instead of the 19mm. each manufacturer will have different colour tongue.

Israel though this time have gone in to look and for and retrieve one lowly corporal who was captured. Hmm was this just a convenient excuse. I think so.

Id go withdj and battern and floor it, easy quick and cheaper.

exactly as mike has suggested, I built one for my last house. It worked a treat.

its interesting to note that even the us supreme court says that G bay and the tribunals are illegal.

mdf jambs are ok internally even in bathrooms, have been used heaps with no problems. what do you think all the builders use in project home. My front door and rear door are made out of 2 sheets of...

6 metres my god, do your neighbours know about this. If you were my neighbour I would be objecting, just be aware that you may have some problems with this. Why not extend in other directions, that...

just saw that your in melbourne, I had trouble finding the stuff here and the prices varied greatly. I went with fowles timber in port melbourne.

not as fun as the kid option

andy have a look at the link I gave you, the span tables are there too. If its 6m long you will get away with using 138x42, it spans up to 4m odd with a post in the middle it will be fine.

no idea, find a kid with a 125mm head and push it through.

just finished using pre primed treated pine for a handrail and let me tell you that I will be using it for most things from now on, straight, knot free, defect free. Its costs more but the finish is...

sorry barry the gap under can be up to 125mm, the sphere thing as I first posted. There are certain things that are needed if its above 4m. Its 1m above the floor height.

must be 1m high any spacing must not exceed 125mm, ie a 125mm sphere must not be allowed to pass through.

Ive built a ground level deck before, instead of using traditional bearers and joists I just used beams on the sides with joist hangers on these and ran the joists between, I then used 2 posts on...

ross, I see your point.

Ive mentioned it on another thread, down here you can get a product called stabilise, its basically road base with up to 15% cement mixed in and it sets like concrete. My...

I have to disagree ross, a proper roadbase drive like master blaster said will last and wont cost the earth, for 200m of concrete or bitumen your looking at an absolute fortune, 200m long by 4m wide...

cant go past rally drivers for driving skills.

but why is it an inquiry into nuclear energy only, why not all viable types of alternative energy, there are a mulitude of alternatives that should be explored.

sturdee i heard they produce about 1 tonne of waste per year.

I remember when they were looking at a third runway option in sydney years ago someone suggested one out at sea using a serious of concrete cups turned upside down with generators inside that used...

go the jarrah decking, I have it around my house and I love it.

down here we can get stabilise which is basically fines pre mixed with up to 15% cement, it sets rock hard(concrete hard) and works a treat. My neighbour has it as a temporary/permanent solution to...

no need to put any rubber or foam just drill holes in the side of the existing driveway, probably 16 mm(someone will tell me if Im wrong) and put rods in them and under your reo and concrete away. ...

congrats cam, have you seen this model,

http://www.ata.org.au/wp-content/articles/95_hush_turbine.pdf

have one on each house.

how long was your thesis.

depends on how much you need, I just bought a heap of primed treated pine from fowles timber in port melbourne, standard lengths 5.4m but because of how much I ordered I got the 3m lengths I needed.

broadband, 512 with iinet plus voip. Pretty happy with it, most local calls are between the missuses mum and sister who are also on iinet with voip so those calls are free.

Flyboy have you considered using gabion baskets,

www.geofabrics.com.au

the ones down here cost $66 for a 2x1x1, another great product if you have enough rocks. Ive seen the wall you mention...

You can build these without using any mortar do a google search on dry stone wall building, heres a few but there are heaps,

I dont think that just because you are willing to cut your own leg off alone makes your story any more special. They were lucky in there own right, it wasnt there time to die. Every one of us in a...

it will take you a while and will be a killer on the body, get a few quotes from blokes with excavators or bobcats, they take it all away and will save heaps of time.

did you make the chairs as well, great match.

Im more interested in seeing the footage that was shot over the 2 weeks, now that will be something. It will be good to see how cramped they were and the efforts the rescuers went to.
