bumping I would love to have some ideas on this question too thanks so much in advance

Hi there has anyone used a lawyer for legal advice on trusts who they have been happy with? any comments would be most appreciated.

I love the Hilux dual cab too but partner needs a bigger tray so it looks like a single cab for us. What year model does your wife like?

After much delibereration, and deciding that we really must have a 4WD (we're on a farm) despite the running $$$ and looking at many, we have decided that we will get either a Hilux, Bravo or Rodeo of early to mid nineties vintage. Are there any ute lovers here? what is your opinion? cosmetics...

Hi there I am interested to know if anyone has used the Permalast paints (particularly the matt, low sheen and gloss) that Amazing Paints sell. I have heard they are good but not sure how they would compare to top of the line Dulux and Taubmans. thanks heaps, great thread!!

They appear to have a decent fee free small business acoount. I am thinking of opening one but would like to hear what experiences people have had with Bankwest in general but also with this fee free business acount called FreeB. The catch is that you need to meet one of these criteria for it...

Very interested Hi Bear924, do you know what any of the conditions are yet? I am very interested since I didn't think there was a way to do this. ta

good ideas, I will try them all. thanks guys!! If the tile place do replace the tiles, are they liable for the cost of ripping up the old ones and relaying the new ones? and what about the lost income from rent (or compensation to tennants) while it is being done?

Hi duncan_m yes, I did. They said that since the tiles were bought by the builder then he would have to take it up with them and that they could not deal with me. Getting the builder to deal with them is difficult because he is busy and obviously not very interested in chasing this up. The...

wow, some great ideas. I have been playing with the dulux and 603010 software for a few months now, it is great, but it actually leads to more colour procrastination for me! the biggest dilemma I get stuck on is whether doors should be a different colour to trims. We like feature walls...

Thanks Peter 147 thanks peter, that's great. you must of done much tiling! I will be doing my own tiling in future and your checklist will help heaps. The tiles that are peeling are Australian but weren't from a large supplier. Found them in Home Beautiful magazine. Doesn't guarrantee...

found out yesterday that in the ACT there is no home owner warranty insurance for renovations that are not structural (which this isn't) ie absolutely no protection against dodgy builders or builders that die or go bankrupt. Does anyone have their own insurance to cover for this? Other states...

does anyone have any thoughts on this? I am meeting with my old accountant this week and want to have a few more ideas and understanding. also want to be able to assess whether I should upgrade my accountant to Dale or someone else who is really good. thanks

thanks p147 what you say makes good sense (only I didn't think of it like that til you said it) It bugs me when you pay for quality but don't get it. do you have any suggestions for ensuring tiles aren't from a bad batch in future? is there a way to tell the quality of a tile by looking at...

Has anyone ever had or heard of the surface of a tile peeling off? Not as in peeling off the wall but the surface of the tile itself. Ie The tile used to have a cream swirly pattern on it. The swirl is now peeling off the tile. Part of this (the size of a couple of 50 cent pieces) has rubbed...
