Dulux trade stores carry Zinzer bleed stop but don’t know about any of there other products

What sort of balcony construction is it, concrete or timber framed with FC sheet?

The tiles and grout should have nothing to do with the leak and the problem is typically at the membrane ( if it...

I am not overly keen on Government funding for projects like that. Often it is just pitching a convincing story to extract funds from the public purse and it just gets gobbled up in a gravy train....

Looking at the size of the laminated pieces they now use and I assume they have streamlined the whole process it would be a cost driven exercise now.

I wouldn’t hesitate to use them in that situation

The Tomcat ingredients will mean a very slow death not to mention the birds of prey and other animals that will die from ingesting the poisoned bird

Good advice from Lappa, you can also use bondcrete or cemetik as a sealing agent but I think I would be using the Zinnser type products these days
Sonetimes if the ceiling is in poor condition it...

The easiest way if you don’t want to use a builders square or trigonometry is to first establish your tread and rise height
Make sure you are using the rise measurement from the finished ground...

A simple calculation for an easygoing staircase is 2R + T = between 585 and 625
An ideal rise (R) is 170 to 190mm and your corresponding tread(T) can be a figure that lands within the above formula ...

With such a long run of boards be mindful of creep getting you out of square.
Set out a square line in the most obvious area like say above the front entry and then mark some parallel lines say...

Nice job, complete with a standing seam copper roof too :cool:

Can’t help you with any advice but will share a funny story

My father in law has one of those small in ear aids and he fell asleep on the lounge while watching TV and eating peanuts. He later...

I know a similar caravan park situation on the ocean and they use a bore for general water and showers etc. The water has a very high mineral content and is hard on the plumbing fittings and tapware...

I have done a few but not the American barn style. I think you will find a scissor lift will do the job of frame erection and cladding on both styles regardless of size for the prefab units.

I...

Out of curiosity, when the shed company said the barn style will be cheaper is that for supply only or installed as well?
There is more work installing a barn style over a typical portal frame style...

Is the saving of the barn style shed enough to be happy having smaller roller door openings and posts throughout your shed?
Your bays may feel a bit narrow working on a car or caravan in them ??

The spacing of the members for sheds be they steel or timber is generally based on the maximum spacing the external sheeting will allow and suitable/ viable member sizes, as they are not designed to...

It may be different out your way, Cypress isn’t readily available on the east coast of NSW and T2 pine is the standard framing material. 90x45 MGP10 pine runs out around $2.50/ m. And most frames are...

I agree with you Chris, for the most part the steel sheds are false economy if you are doing extensive fit outs and linings like most do with sheds here. By building internal stud walls and lining...

Absolutely
Apart from not being able to source materials at as good a price in most cases the inexperienced will usually do things out of sequence and inefficiently which doesn’t matter if it is...

Ross have you had much experience in pouring such a big slab? Can you use a troweling machine and freehand with a screed ?
A job like that I would form and steel it and then pay a Concretor to...

Ross
Most shed companies have contractors they can put you in touch with to erect the shed.
I wouldn’t go mixing up who is sheeting the walls with a different trade doing the roof as they all get...

You should have no issues getting 133mm finish wide decking boards in either 19 or 21mm thick depending on supplier.

Having service and spares local is a big plus although apart from blades there is unlikely a need for anything anyway on both brands

What Ross said or if you do want a timber floor start with a 19mm thick battern at the highest part of the floor and then use thicker batterns as the fall permits you to use. 70 x 35 or 45 on flat...

My 2 cents coming from a tradesman and a business owner who has taken on a number of apprentices over the years

Firstly
If you don’t like your current career get out of it and do something...

I think now is a great time to get into a little business like that, if you have the right product to sell for the environment you are operating in.

There is plenty of money around at the moment,...

That is good, you can apply a waterproof membrane over the area that will withstand hydrostatic pressure as a safeguard before laying the floor. There may well not be a plastic underlay under the...

If there is a dampness/ water issue with the floor you are asking for trouble laying a timber floor over it.
The likes of Platon Stop are not designed to deal with a waterproofing issue but...

My preference has moved from silicone to a Polyurethane like Sikaflex 11FC. Mainly because any excess can be removed from timber and it won’t effect any finishes you plan to use like silicone does

I often think similar with some of the candidates hanging around here at the pointy end of our political arena :~
Is it just a reflection on how stupid and easily lead ( mislead) the general...

These look like a nice version

This is what you want to do if you can get away with it ,

Pine
There is a trend to use it for stud framing as well, it is pretty heavy by comparison though to just pine

Not much hardwood used in frames anymore, the plywood beams you are referring to are referred to as LVL. Laminated Veneered Lumber. A very good product

I have been buying packs of stick pine for framing and it has come from Europe

There is actually a shortage of Australian hardwoods at the moment as the fires has taken much of the stock.
Pretty much all of our house framing timber is imported too.

Have a look at some of the composite boards they use on boat fitouts

Don’t know about Parfix but if you are looking for a 11FC substitute look for a local Soudalflex retailer. Their product is excellent and half the price. I have used boxes of the stuff

I’m in

Haven’t done it myself but you could stand them up in molasses for a couple of days and then clean them up from there

Either ask the dealer to fit one or just go to a reputable installer and have one fitted. It has no bearing on your warranty other than if the accessory you had fitted caused the issue you are...

I am no electrician but apart from any code requirements how would it matter if they were 15 or 10 amp outlets?

Just a general point to consider for those contemplating a purchase.
Regardless what brand you are looking at consider also there is no or minimal ongoing costs of servicing compared to the petrol...
