depends on your goals which really aren't stated, just endurance - I say eat big and sprint 3x/week - 50m distances, walk back to the start as your rest period, and redo - 8-10 sprints per session. maybe a 400m distance once/fortnight. think about it who do you want to look like: Steve...

I built a 12 x 6m shed to store all my stuff. Now I need a new shed.....:o

Hi, I've paved a fair bit on various ppor's - I only learn't lately that the trick is to pay someone to do it - it's easier on the back!! the method of paving is slightly different depending on if the surface is just for walking (ie a patio or path) vs driving on - ie a carport or driveway...

thanks for the tips, I'd not heard of soffit vents, looks very applicable for my situation. Likewise double glazing on the western side looks like a good (but perhaps expensive) option. at least it's 'sposed to be cooler this week!

Hi all I’m moving into a new ppor – the house is just over 50yrs old, double brick construction, Nth/Sth orientation, tile roof with big roof space with older (maybe 15yrs) insulation. In the recent heatwave here in Adelaide, it’s gotten pretty warm inside (as we do some minor reno work to...

I think a few people have missed the point - does anyone know of any tradies who work on a sunday? Lets assume the OP lined up helpers to remove the timber pergola - and those 'helpers' include a paid carpeter and sparkie (for the lighting, ceiling fan, weatherproof powerpoints, etc) How many...
