    Duplexes - kit home makers?

    I am trying to find a kit home place that does duplexes. I don't mean where you have to modify heaps of things to make duplexes but one that is designed to be duplexes. Have googled it and looked at heaps of kit home websites but can't find any.

    this is very interesting. I have read a bit about this in Dale's two books/manuals. What I am wondering is how is remote defined?

    agree - Rolf got us a 70% lend on a 300 acre rural when my partner is self employed.

    Carpet layer Canberra

    can anyone recommend a decent carpet layer in Canberra? Or any to stay away from? I have a good one in Cooma, but were not happy with the seams and stretching done by the last one we used in Canberra. It is only a small job too - just laying new carpet over existing underlay and smoothedge at a...

    What's your favourite Sunday night snack?

    natmarie73 - we have had the lindt chilli a few times. it is quite good, esp if you are a chilli lover. even better when you get it on special for 1.99 instead of the usual 3.29 or so. my fave choc is their dark mint or the dark coffee one though.

    Update on painted laminex[mdf]

    there is no need to go white unless you want to. we did grapeshot on our bottom/floor cupboards, fireworks on our benchtop and raw cotton on the splashback and top cupboards. Grapeshot is a dark muted fushia, fireworks is a dark greybrown with a hint of purple and raw cotton is a warm beige...

    NSW South Coast Meetings

    I'm near Cooma, bit far from the coast, but also a bit far from Canberra for me. If anyone wants to talk property in Cooma, the mountains of maybe even Bega, drop me a PM.

    What LVR on rural property?

    sounds interesting. I don't know anything about sugar farming, so maybe it is different, but we got a 70% lend on 300 acres. It has a house and workshop as well though. In not a great farming area, very rocky and pitiful rainfall. The 70% we got though may of been the brilliant broker though...

    painting acrylic on enamel

    I haven't been in the situ of acrylic over enamel but have done enamel over acrylic. That is, acrylic primer (WK Grip Lock works well for crappy or unusual or marked surfaces) with enamel paint on top (tile paint and laminate paint)

    we have just done one with white knight in a nice warm neautral colour called "raw cotton". we got a painter top do it since he was here painting the rest of the house anyway. although realistically the labour cost will of been $2-3K. IT was a really foul ensuit, very large, white and black very...

    Bamboo Flooring

    sorry I haven't laid any, but I looked at it but in the end decided to go for prefinished tongue and groove kempas wood floorboards. This was mainly because we only needed a small quantity and were able to pick it up cheaply ($14 sq m supply only instead of $50-80 retail). However, we are ina...

    white knight tile paint

    great discussion. We are doing a huge area with the tile paint and the laminate paint. I have a huge bucket of Tricleanium here - what do you think about using that instead of the WK cleaner?

    Dulux Raphael colour

    Does anyone remember a paint colour called Raphael? I thought it was a Dulux colour - it is a deep rich red colour. Haven't found much info on it online. It is not on the Dulux colour atlas nor on the conversion spreadsheet.

    Need a bucketload of White Knight - cheap place to get?

    I need to buy a lot of it - for two big bathrooms and big kitchen. Both the tile and the laimate paint. Has anyone gone through pricing it at different places?

    Medicare Surcharge

    The whole medicare surcharge really irkes me because we do not use hospitals for anything, nor doctors. The health services we do use are not covered by Medicare (naturopath, dentist, chiropractor).
