    Smart Wiring

    Hi All. Mja - Why? Because when you have a family, they all want PC's etc. Wireless isn't perfect - I've got it and I know! C-Bus - Great product, but unless it's the wireless one, you have to custom wire the house. Great if you know ahead of time, have all the money up front and can do...

    Wall cladding

    Your choices depend on how nice you want it to look.... Cladding (like weatherboard) - Aluminium, Hardiplank Sheet - Cement Sheet, Blueboard (and render / paint) Wood - Weatherboards, Red Cedar etc, Exterior Plywood Brick - Sounds like overkill All cost differently, Pretty much all can...

    Tenant not available for necessary repairs

    On the Kitchen light - if they're not concerned, I wouldn't rush. On the smoke detector - you can bet that if something happened, it'd be your fault. On that basis, I'd advise in writing that either a mutually agreed date with them before xxxxxx, or failing that and given the safety...

    Poverty Mentality - Some Never Loose It

    Hear Hear. How many times have you seen the 'poor' who all seem to have DVD players, wide screen TV's, nice cars, new mobile phone (used extensively), nice clothes, smoke, drink - but be broke. Poor attitude and choices more likely. Unfortunately, having seen this also from the inside...

    Now its time for the pink walls to go. Help me please. I have no idea!

    If you're not doing ceiling yet - ignore those bits. If you intend to, do it now, it's harder later! 1. Clean walls / ceiling (kitchens tend to get greasy). Sugar soap is usually good. Dont forget to wipe after with clean cloth to get rid of residue 2. Patch anything that needs patching -...

    Lawn Mower (brands/models)?

    1) Get a 4 stroke. Dont question why - they're better - period. 2) Get a quality one. My Rover (Briggs & Stratton Engine = GOOD) is probably 16+ years old now. Other than a fuel tap, the only thing I've ever done is keep it clean (do this and they live MUCH longer!!), change blades...

    floorboards or tiles

    Just a quick note: You've got choices of Floating floor (Laminate), Floating Floor (Timber facings), Hardwood floor and tiles. Laminate takes far more punishment than real timber. Wet area's - make sure there suited for wet areas (most aren't, some are) or if they get wet and it's not...
