G'day all, If you are planning a "downstairs room", but would need to span a gap of 6m+ (and it would cost an arm and a leg for a beam) - read on..... I've posted in Coffee Lounge - have an RSJ for free (7 metres long). For anyone in Sydney (or willing to travel to Sydney ;) )...

G'day all, Are you needing an RSJ (Rolled Steel Joist) to span a decent width? Some may know it as "I-section". Are you happy to re-use one that is probably several decades old, but appears to be in good health (though has surface rust, naturally enough). And it's free, gratis, and...

G'day all, We've owned this property since mid-2000 - it wasn't "bad" back then, and not even that "bad" now. But, it has needed a downstairs loo since we bought it (otherwise, it meant a trek upstairs - bit rough if you've been working in the garden). The house was built early...

G'day all, I heard today from a third party that failure to vote can lead to almost unimaginable consequences. My question is "Is this the truth?" If it is, it could be a serious "gotcha" waiting to happen... My associate today shared a story where her friend failed to vote...

Dear readers, This is a portion of the "original forum" that was massaged by Mike (an early poster) to provide a forum where new posters could glean the basics quickly. Mike chose some of the best posts from the Original Forum (which started ~Sep 1999) to include in this mini archive...

G'day Redwing, In another thread, you asked this:- One of us is psychic - as I had just been thinking we need to have more people use the "Rate Thread" feature for it to work at its best. Earlier, I'd posted this in the "Help and Feedback" forum -...

G'day all, Some have mentioned having an "Achievement Thread" as a way of allowing us to showcase our achievements. Sounds good to me (I'm always an advocate for a bit of inspiration :D ) My thoughts would be to have it at the top of this forum (as a "sticky" thread) where people...

G'day folks, I reckon it's NOT me - I have 2 different ISP's and both exhibit the same symptom. Today (12 Mar 2006) the forum seems to take TEN times longer than usual to load/refresh. Any ideas? Sim? Anything going on at the back end? Regards,

Sorry, people, but the thread has been removed for the moment. As you'd understand, even with the usual disclaimer from Jan and Ian Somers posted on the website, any comments that could be construed as libellous are serious stuff. Thus, the thread has been put "in limbo" while the...

G'day all, Heard this on radio last night. Could be worth checking out if YOU have had a Safety Switch fitted to any properties in the last 2 years. As I heard it, there has been a RECALL issued for safety switches fitted since Dec 03. The brands involved are Merlin Gerin or...

G'day all, As these are only updated every 3 months it can be oft forgotten as a viable source of median values (5 years of them) and median yields for Postcodes. I'm posting to say they have recently (last 7 days?) updated their figures for what I believe is the Sep 05 quarter...

G'day Sim, Please click on this link, then tell me if you can see the photos that USED to just show up as part of the text (I'm now only seeing a red cross in a small square). http://www.somersoft.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22949 Also, later in the thread, if I click On Ruby's...

G'day all, I've been monitoring "HomePriceGuide" for a few years now. An interesting twist (has been introduced within the last month) is an "Annual Growth Over the Last 10 Years" figure. THIS latest one bowled me sideways. And, yeah, I guess it is all "damn lies and statistics" -...

G'day all, I started to reply to another thread with the following, but then decided it was worth its own place, in its own thread - so here ye go.... A lot of the current talk (and current events - another Bali disaster overnight) brings a particular RK tape back to my mind. Let...

G'day all, An earlier thread started to take me down a rather marvellous road. I've seen so much come and go in IT - but even remembering some of it can be a task..... So, for those with a memory or two to share (of IT and its advances, vagaries, war stories, etc.....) - let's HEAR...

G'day all, I recently (last 24 hours) successfully downloaded Norton's Internet Security 2005. I just tried to join "chat" (10 mins ago) and didn't get very far...... Is my new "Internet Security" preventing me from joining chat? As I didn't know just how "protected" I am, I...

G'day all, I'm not sure how many are aware of the number of CHOICES this style of forum offers. Awefsome !!! For those of you who might be new to the forum, (or regulars who have, like me, not been aware of the plethora of gadgets that are on offer), TRY THIS!!! To get...

G'day all, Stumbled over this today - and wondered if the content might signal the start of the next property boom. http://theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,12494649%255E25658,00.html However, as I don't usually "follow" the high end of the market, there might be...

G'day all, I wasn't doing too good in getting help by posting this in another thread dealing with Land Tax, so figured I'd ask the question in a new thread. As one new to Land Tax, (and, yes, this IS a "self-inflicted wound" ;)), I am suddenly hit with a cost that was not evident over the...

What's happening with the clock (time) - FIXED !!! G'day Sim, Yes, I did go looking before posting this - but the link wouldn't let me in.... http://www.somersoft.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=432#post432 Ever since I got my "new" 'puter, the time has appread to be 2 hours ahead...
