Big Ears has trashed the place and a full reno is required. I can do it the hard way, or get some ideas on some shortcuts. Please help me with any tips on the following. Plastering..I need to wash and sand back all the walls before painting. Would WhiteKnight or another "paint anywhere"...

Reply: 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 From: Glenn Mott Hi Darren, Thanks for your input, it's good to hear the story of someone who has done it and made it! Would you be kind enough when you have time one day to expand on some of your trials and tribulations?? Glenn

Reply: 1 From: Glenn Mott From: "Andrew G" <[email protected]> Hi folks, Most of you in this forum seems to agree that I/O loans with offset accounts are a good idea. My query is, if you purchase an IP, you will get two accounts from the bank. The first is the loan itself showing the...
