I often wondered why so many colorbond fences blew down in my area. Well yesterday I had the great joy of finding 50m of it down on a block I recently brought. Most of the posts averaged a 1/2 bucket of weak cement with a few rocks thrown on top. From the quality of cement I suspect they used...

I recently paid a certain company to supply and install an item at an IP. 5k deposit covering materials was required. It was a custom colour and others quoting had same demand. They had been around for some time and were not a "1 man show". Unfortunately said company stopped returning calls...

Before I put a blast across a agents bow can anyone confirm that it is simple to change photos on this site to update add? Don't have to cancel add or anything silly? Requested twice they change some poor photos to ones I provided.

A while back, possibly in one of Nathan Birchs videos I saw a security/privacy screen that I have now been trying to find locally without much luck, It was metal, high strength fine mesh. From outside it had a high obscurity factor, but from the inside visibility/light was good. I was...

Its often the small things that catch you out. For example just got back from one place I built 6 years ago. Tenant had called as her child had managed to displace a large amount of water on the bathroom floor and it was not draining away. Turns out the floor drains just go outside the house...

For a couple reasons including location/block size and a setup workshop at the back I want to keep my PPOR. However I am steadily getting more and more issues with the thermalite brick. So I am debating on what to do. Had a section of plaster give way above the stove so I stripped it back...

I have been looking at land and older houses coming up for sale for a few months. As per another post I put in a low offer on some land that was coded r30. While there was some negotiation I was firm to the original offer on the basis there was a 30m brick with metal picket inlay fence to be...

Hope this is the best section for this. I have been canvasing some of the local builders and most of them have not ever done any unit style complexes with common walls. Most have just reached for the smallest home buyers plan they have which is not what I am after. I am waiting on a response...

After a couple months of back in forth in court trying to evict tenants I got a "agreement" that the tenant had to move out in two weeks, Thursday (21/April), and was assigned the complete bond to cover part of the unpaid rent. I'm still owed about 8 weeks rent at this point. Tenant has been...
