Ohh nice! Did you paint it yourself?

Bleedin. A mate painted his glass just with a roller and it was perfect. I'm sure you have tried that but perhaps it was the type of paint that mattered?

The only real different to the normal...

I purchased a IOMEGA 400R NAS. In less then a year it churned up a hardware fault. So I was asked to return it. The repair (return cost of 415.00 to singapore) took hmmm maybe 6 or 7 months. When it...

I like it alot.

The rocks look like a potential hazzard to me though... 2yr olds and rocks...*yikes*

And you actually let him say that without a slap :U I must be a less saintly female then you madrat.

PS Arc..I would have looked up and thought when I saw that. I hope some of your concerns...

Just off topic..Everytime I read a post I think sh*t I did it wrong.

I used brickies sand with my render...Quite a long wall...

I might be lucky..two years on and no cracks yet...

But...

Sorry John I just contradicted you in my post. We must have posted at the same time.

I think it maybe different in Perth. Sandy soils.

I’m not a turf expert though I mown km of bloody tennis courts and running tracks in my time. So I know the stuff is green :U sometimes brown:D

Do you need to use a rotary hoe? I'm not sure what...

I have patched up a wall that extends to the corners and I didnt need to render the whole lot. The corners have plaster on already.

I guess in that case I just use a straight edge to neaten the...

WOW that topic went off track quite a bit :D
No I'm not going to put tiles over the top coat. There's going to be a small stainless steel splash back moulded into the bench top, under a window.
...

I got it sorted after much nashing of teeth.

The joists on one side of the x-wall didnt match up with the other and I broke a few boards before I got the hang of it.

But it looks fine so...

I removed benches near a kitchen sink and rendered it smooth then applied a gyprock top coat over that. I shouldn’t have bothered really because a cupboard will hide the area but I have become...

Thanks guys...

I was hoping I wouldnt have to remove more boards but I guess I will need to...

Wishful thinking...

I removed a brick wall went all the way down to the foundations (just past the floor level) and asked in another post about removing cracked boards. (Thanks for that advice)

Now I need to...

Buying a IOMEGA NAS 400r put me off buying another NAS forever.

I purchased a low end HP server to replace it. It was slightly less then the NAS was.

Might be ok if you had a really small garden.

It says 50 minutes of use but I wouldnt go by that figure, going on every cordless tool I have used. Halve it I reckon.

The previous owner of our house did our bathroom floor which doesn’t drain properly. It's really annoying and stains the tiles over time. I would give it a really good go to get the level right if I...

I've hit it with a heat gun, sander, paint stripper (not in that order) and the 3M abrasive pad that you use on a drill and I still have paint in the grain (only slightly) Actually that 3M pad really...

I have stripped the paint off some old jarrah verandah doors. I want to finish them off and protect them but keep them looking natural. (Not super shiny)

I'm not sure what to use.

They get...

Any idea what the power consumption is for an average dishwasher?

I have lived in houses with them and never used them. They kind of fit into the clothes drier category for me. Just another...

I'm not sure about cost but the satisfaction of making them to your own design would be a benefit. Also I guess if you had limited access to a backyard it would be beneficial to make them onsite.

(Moved) Thought this post may get a response in plumbing section, rather then landscaping.

Damien...That's a bit rough.

There's some pretty cool items there....

The green one you posted is really really REALLY nice...

I went to the old appliance club linked from the oven site. Does it remind you of a site for ovens lovers or is it just me?
...

Thanks Mick...Ripping the guts out and smashing stuff is what I'm good at, so I wont have a problem..

BigCal that was an excellent post...Cheers...

We didnt have a ceiling for quite a while...When the new one was put in I missed looking at the rafters....

I have a temp kitchen in a small back room, I cook on a BBQ, I'm washing dishes in the...

Doesnt the fact that it's fibro/asbestos worry you at all? I wouldnt do a reno on one.

I took a brick wall out which has left a gap in the jarrah floor boards.

I need to remove one whole damaged board and a half where the wall was. I don’t want to stuff up the tongue/groove in the...

The ovens incredible. It looks like it was resurrected from the civil war era.

Ok I'll give that a go...Thanks...

Very beautiful.

Never mind his whole kitchen is probally bigger then my whole house :)

I need to fill a round hole in the ceiling that an extractor fan came out of.

This page would be the method to use yeah?

I had the ceiling guys in and one of them gave me some base coat which I applied and then a top coat...That seemed to work well...

You can kind of see it in the picture...

He left me a whole...

not fiberous...no..

I am just sanding with a really fine sandpaper and that is working...Very slow work but its ok..

Now I have hit another issue..I have ripped off some tiles and the sparky...

I have plaster walls (1950s) which are in pretty good condition but they have lumps and bumps I would like to smooth off.

Any advice on how to get even/smooth plaster walls?

Looking for a builder to re-timber skillion roof (and zincalume) two small rooms with some brickwork needed.

I have an evap aircon in Perth. I got a company to quote for a 6 outlet and then I doubled the power of the model they quoted for. Everyone advised me not to do it but I think it's the only way to...

WOW !! You would think after 17 years they would be taller...Maybe they grow faster in Perth because canes of that size you can pick up for 200 or 300 each..

I cant back this up with further info but one day I'll find out or someone will know. There seems to be two growth patterns of golden canes.

1. Multi stemmed plant at various sizes with large...

By the way! And this is only my opinion.

I don't think some plants are worth buying advanced, such as Viburnum. They grow quite quickly and often it's better when you are buying in bulk for...

Sorry that just seems like utter crap to me. They are like the most hardiest shrubs. If it was an water issue it wouldnt be just be on a few leaves and in the centre of the leaf. The shrub would wilt...

Yeah I agree with Mick. Get a bobcat with a rake instead of a bucket to go over the whole area. Before the weed seeds would be great. The bob cat rake would bury half of that weed too deep for it to...

There was a program on vertical gardens recently that was pretty interesting

Yeah that wasnt the best episode that's for sure...

Thursday nights show was seriously impressive. I'm not sure if I have the stamina to hand cut 4000 slate tiles and lay them all..

I'm sure we do have very good crafts-people out there. I was...

Has anyone been watching the ABC British program, Grand Designs? Where they follow the construction of homes or renovations.

Some of the designs and workman ship is just amazing.

It might be the conditions in perth and the fact you transplanted them..

I've seen them get a white flower sets but no seed. Maybe I just havnt noticed.
