Looks awesome John! Cedar has it all, looks great and smells amazing too!!

The house will have plenty of ventilation without the wall vents. They're not used any more because they're pretty much useless, all they do is throw dust through the house. Fill them in and save some cleaning!! Matt

Hi warrali, I replaced my brothers weatherboards last year. Did the whole lot, 22sq house fairly standard size 3br with 3100 from baseboards to eaves. Weatherboards/stops/flashings: $3200 Insulation and paper: about $900 Paint and other materials: about $900 Skip bin: $200 We did...

I agree, I wouldn't be getting too carried away with it. Sure, get him to replace the screws that have thrown the seals out to the side, but it's more for looks than anything else. I guarantee you no water of any significance will ever make it inside your roof even if left alone, and screwing...

As propertunity said you won't need a permit for the kitchen, but pretty much any pergola in Vic attached to the house will need a permit. You'll need all your basic hand tools and drills plus a circular saw, clamps and nail gun will make the pergola much easier! You don't need a top of the...

Thanks for the replies Jane and investigator, I think both of you are right. As we're in no hurry, there isn't a huge demand at the moment, and the rest of the house is in really good condition, I'm leaning towards completing the work. The thought of a serious buyer wondering if this issue is...

Hi guys, I'm looking for your thoughts on whether it's worth me re-tiling the bathroom floor in our PPOR before selling. There was a leak in our vanity about 18 months ago. I'm definitely replacing the vanity unit as the mdf has swollen up in the bottom and is stuffed, but ever since there has...

Great work rockstar, awesome effort to stick to your time frame. All the best for the next one!

Hi Dylan, the cement sheet linea weather boards are a great product, but a little expensive. You can usually get timber weatherboards from $3.50 - $4 a metre from timber yards. It's the cheaper option, but if you want to fit the boards and pretty much never have to worry about them again, it...

Great job travel bug, loved the videos! What is a half decent spray gun worth? Matt.

Hi Blurbman, Looks great well done!! Isn't it a good feeling to finish projects like this yourself... Where did you get it from?

Thanks again for the info Rolf... It's strange I've read thousands of your posts watching on from the sidelines, but now it's actually me you're helping out!! All the best, Matt.

Thanks Rolf, We're currently with westpac so I'll contact them to see if that's something they offer. Good point with the final PPOR too... I probably should have called it our 'settle into and enjoy for a while and who knows what might happen later on' PPOR. I'm not quite ready to build in...

Hello all happy Sunday, Thanks to everyone for your prompt, encouraging replies!! Sorry I meant to elaborate a little more last night with my questions, but forgot, think I was a bit tired, and had already rambled too much!! With my question about owner builders finance I'm actually...

G'day all, My first post, I've been waiting a long time for it! I'm just looking for some general advice/help/feedback as I begin my property adventure. First of all, I absolutely love this forum, I've lurked around on here for years reading hundreds and hundreds of threads/topics and...
