    Hayfever!

    Try and find a local honey supplier, make sure his/her honey is sourced locally and get that into you, works a treat to desensitise you to the local pollens ect, it works for me but it doesn't help with strong westerly winds though.

    Palm Trees

    They are cocos palms, try and sell them as suggested. They are easy to remove from the ground as they have a small very tight root ball.

    Steps to paint inside of a house ??

    Wash the walls down with a light solution of detergent and water, don't worry about the ceilings except maybe the kitchen. If you use gloss acrylic on the doors and windows you'll find the paint will scratch off easy and you may have problems with the windows/doors sticking during summer...

    Strata repairs - Should they cover back yard rain water seeping into the property?

    A damp course would/should already be installed, this is done when the brickies build the wall, it may not visible like the one in the photo as some brickies recess it back a little further so it is not visible. The damp course prevents water from rising up the brickwork and affecting the...

    Asbestos clad house removal costs?

    An advert in the rural papers may attract more attention as the house may be more suited to a hunters cabin etc.

    Strata repairs - Should they cover back yard rain water seeping into the property?

    I would not stress over it, the slab has only sunk 2 inches max as indicated by the "H" pattern,the PVC pipe is just a bodgy install job by the plumber who could not be bothered to cut it down to the correct height and is not an indication of how much the slab has sunk. The red line on the brick...

    Discolouration of hardwood Timber Floors

    Hi Julia Do you mean "will it decay in the future" ?:p Tap the stained area with something solid and see it sounds the same as the unaffected area, could just be a stain from chemicals being in the laundry.

    NBN - Foresight or not

    I don't think they will ever consult via BB, no insurance company would cover them. From a financial point of view I can see this fibre being a flop with not enough people taking it up, just like Australians haven't warmed to pay TV.

    Malcolm Douglas RIP 23/09/2010

    I grew up watching Malcom Douglas, I really liked his raw "home made" style. Seems like such an unfitting end to his life.

    Are businesses booming in Australia!!?

    Good bit of advice. I despise the way some people operate. I conduct my business with these ideals above, if I am running late I take the time to make a 30 second phone call and advise the customer. Basically I treat my customers the way I would expect myself and my wife to be treated, time...

    Concrete Tilies

    I have had ceramic tiles laid over a timber floor. Be aware timber floors do flex, particularly if the house is on piers, if this is the case you'd be best of gluing and screwing down 19mm thick tongue and groove partical board sheeting before laying the tiles to prevent the tiles cracking and...
