You're welcome. Africandaisy, if you really have your heart set on bamboo, go for the strand woven, but if you're putting it down over a concrete slab, make sure it's really really dry. Put a double moisture barrier down. And make sure when you go to the shop you ask them what the moisture...

Would just like to put my two cents in here about bamboo so there are two sides to the bamboo flooring story. I'm not anti bamboo, I'm just giving the facts. Firstly, bamboo is not a hardwood, it's a grass. Bamboo is highly regarded as being incredibly strong, tests have shown that it has a...

Thanks QB

Hi there I was wondering if anybody is familiar with timber floors in Bundaberg, especially in those little cottages that were built maybe 1950's for the sugarcane workers. Just wondering if there was a particular species that was popular around that era. For example does anybody know...

Thanks for that link. Dam, maybe not then! Cheers QB

Hi there Can someone tell me what this plant is please. I saw them in Pottsville and I want one. http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp98/QueenBeesWax/549C45E0-ED23-4563-866F-8CD0E4C4C1FB-291-0000002C2A7E6C93.jpg Cheers QB

Eeeww, I touched it. It feels like dirt (I think). Seems to be a seasonal thing. If I put down some ant rid they disappear after a couple of days and I just vacuum up the gunk and it won't appear again until next time. Oh god, ants nest, should I be worried. Someone said to me the other day...

haha I don't know, can they? I've had two different pest spraying guys in over the last couple of years, and they both haven't been concerned when I've showed them. Thanks guys.

Hi I'm in the Gold Coast and wondering if this is from termites? There are normal small black house ants running around in them. It only happens by the two lounge windows which have a garden outside. The pest guy has seen them and didn't seem worried about them so I didn't either. But I...

Hi there Can anybody recommend a good pest spraying company on the Gold Coast please. I'm starting to get creepie crawlies around. I've been using the same company for the last 3 years, but they've put their prices up once again, not sure what other people would pay for a 4 bedroom house...

OMG, another friend has just put something on her Facebook about her landlord. Must be a day for it. She just got a letter from her landlord saying she was in breach of her tenancy because she never got around to getting the carpets professionally cleaned before her inspection the other...

Yeah I thought it was maybe not the entire story, seemed OTT to me, and I wondered if it was even enforceable?

Hey guys My friend lives in Beerwah in a rental property. She had a property inspection recently, and she had her washing folded on the lounge suite when he came to do the inspection. The rest of the house was tidy. He told her to move it and put it in the drawer next time, and issued...

Never tried taro, I know you've got to cook it properly or it's poisonous. Love sweet potato though. I wonder if anywhere grows yams?

I'm thinking maybe you need cool weather for apples, not sure. I do find we lack in some foods in the Gold Coast, I went to Sydney last year and think all I did was eat! I was so missing some nice pastries and cakes and a decent cappuccino I just went completely crazy food wise, haha. My next...
