Thanks again Neil. Sounds like there is still plenty to do, but it's working for sure :)

Hoping for the full menu across the top of the new site, whenever it's possible (that is, New Posts ......

Thanks Neil. Great job!

I have a mate, very experienced in metal work, who had his mouth, teeth and nose heavily impacted when his 9" grinder "caught" and broke the cutting disc, and it all reared up towards him in a split...

I had a sub-board installed for the workshop and pool equipment, and ever since the chlorinator randomly trips its RCD - might do it every few days, might be good for two weeks or more, then it...

You could do one plug each; share the load :)

Well, that's her problem. :)

We've always had the gurgling since the kitchen reno and went with dual sinks. Two different DWs, same thing. We have solar, so we run the DW during the day when there...

The comment "the pinky says it all" is priceless :)

Can't wait!

My first car with my own money was a used XY Fairmont

Nice and neat. I angle-grind the cuts from the back of the tile to achieve the straight lines, so the disc's cut runs a little further on the back of the tile than the front (due to disc...

If made in Asia, they are all basically the same thing. Just pick a colour and a price you are happy with

I have both and can place a foot on both at the same time, and there is a small discernable difference in my experience (Pelawan timber and Modwood). One thing about composite (aka plastic blends) is...

Google "wood decking tiles". There is similar, but not the same, I think

You certainly need at least H4 if the timber is touching the ground

Yes, that's the stuff

You named this thread "standards". They come in many forms, including behaviour, respect, etc

Have you started? Use Formply, and you're done

The northern box you mention is also known as Pelawan, which may help with tracking it down. Very similar to Merbau, and yes, doesn't bleed.

I'd also say your deck has been stained dark, so just...

Picture=1000 words

There are some western red matt tins on MyDeal and elsewhere. I reckon you'd have more luck mixing your gloss with matt (might come out sorta satin?), than trying to match another brand

Edit:...

Perhaps do a granny flat, you know, when you get bored...

My experience with LEDs is that you replace the entire unit. My large kitchen light and dimmable exterior LEDs are not "serviceable" - must replace the whole item

If you decide on concrete as extra insurance, add BondCrete to the water and an extra 20% cement to the mix, all to make it extra water tight

FYI I just got the database error, and then a forum too busy message.

Is the forum suddenly more popular? Or maybe Denial of Service attacks going on?

Perhaps try a complete coating of epoxy? Flood the voids and coat the whole board too. Without an edge at which to be penetrated and peel, it may be more effective... Annual maintenance coats would...

Yeah, but refrigerated AC doesn't need any brain power at all :)

I have several of this type

Assuming the same functionality as mine, you can do 10 sets of on/off in a 24 hour period, of any period you like, choosing from several combinations of...

Crosses? There was one "with his name on it", so to speak :)

Merry Christmas to all!

I don't like following such a driver, and I don't like to think I am one either. To that end, when I got my first (ICE) car with Adaptive Cruise Control, I was so concerned about the brake light...

Yes, unfortunately my parts have never been in the van.

The general point is that for any home callout for any trade, if you escape for under $200 you are doing very well

The appliance repairers around here charge $140 call-out to assess the repair, paid in advance, and then charge $120 first hour (two years ago), then prorated every 15 minutes after that. Soon adds...

Some people, not you, nor me, would have no idea where to start with a door lock, so the tradesman, when duly called by grateful customer for help, can charge what they believe 'reasonable' for the...

Reminds me of the story of the TV repair man that comes in, looks at the screen, bangs the old TV on the top, TV is fixed. 2 minutes work and...
"$51 please"
"What, $51!!. You only hit it!!"...

If what you linked above is a like for like replacement, $17 will likely be the cheaper option compared to a locksmith. But do spray the mechanism, as suggested above :)

Doesn't sound right, and could be a safety issue, so i'd replace it. Standard entrance sets will behave as you expect

Yup. If we think electricity costs a lot now, wait until it's the only option

I've taken a long time (too long) to build my workshop. But it's insulated better than the house :). Don't tell my wife :D

Wet (ok, 'damp') tshirt, I've done it while mowing and other 'outside duties' in summer. Turns 'you' into an evap AC. :2tsup:

I guess maybe not for the workshop :)

A cheap refrigerated box or split system would be best, I think. "Chilly cool" rather than "damp cool". Or keep the fans and wet your t-shirt

Cyclone proof!

Totally agree. I lost all the weight I mentioned with zero extra excerise, just an occasional walk, nothing out of the ordinary.

Exercise is great, but you won't lose weight doing that alone...

The problem with shakes etc is that you don't relearn how to actually eat "for you", so when you stop the shakes it goes back on... Of course you could drink shakes forever :oo: (I think that's what...

You mention you will be using cobble stones and grass strips. That will help.

If runoff becomes a problem you could add a strip drain with a pit and a submersible pump with an integrated float, to...

Good news indeed! Thanks for all your ongoing efforts, Neil!

A relation owns a medium sized home painting business. He uses Resene paints exclusively. Swears by it. NZ made and owned, so close enough. I can't vouch for their whites, but they have a lot of them...

Black grout? :)

AS1684 is effectively the minimum safe standard for timber framed structures, so I would suggest just going with that. Haven't looked for a long time, so can't comment on whether your 115x115 is...

We only have a ceiling fan with light and bedside lamps in all bedrooms.

Agree that if there is a fan, the light should not shine through the blades

Thanks. I guess they could be very young fungus gnats - reading about their general size of 2mm - 8mm, "Mum's" are well under 2mm, tiny, none are bigger. They are also on the window sills, not on...

At Mum's place, probably build in the '40s, all original timber home, we've found these very tiny bugs on the window sills. So small the wings can't be seen with my naked eye, and 10x digital zoom...

When selecting files do you have the From Computer tab open, not the From URL tab?

Often in the same post I find it switches to From URL after having used From Computer
