I think Upper Kedron is an interesting are - there have been lots of new estates offered for sale over the last few years. FG is more established but in long term, I think Upper K will grow faster and have to develop better facilities and eventually will a more desirable suburb than FG which...

I got a benchtop resurfaced some years ago when it was practically unheard of or recommended (The original was some ghastly orange colour) - it looked fantastic afterwards - it was now black. I don't remember what product was used but there was a proviso that you couldn't put anything very...

$1800 - 10 year Guarantee. I got quotes - all about the same but these guys worked when I needed them and also did some extra tiling for me.

Great work, Wrexter and thanks for sharing the photos and costings. I am about to do a full reno on an 80s house so those figures certainly help. I just don't think I could get it done as quickly as you did. Well done for sticking to your goals!

I looooove Houzz - so many great ideas!

I have a IP in Ferny Hills which seems to be the poor cousin to Ferny Grove. Neither suburb has done well in terms of capital growth in recent years but that should pick up shortly. My IPs in Sunnbank Hills and Kedron (of course) have done way better but Ferny is a nice green space with lots...

Best heating we've ever had, although we do have cold winters in Adelaide! We've just finished the kitchen and dining area, about 40Sqm, and my husband did the laying and he said it was very easy. We had an electrician wire it up and that cost about $600 and the wires about $600 but the so we...

My bathroom tile resurface (Thermoglaze) and new fittings is completed! This is my very first basic bathroom makeover. I love the tile resurfacing as it was quick, painless and took only 1 day. I have posted the images in the gallery - not sure how to display them here!

decided on one screen and curtain as couldn\'t be bothered shifting the mirror - hard to find much choice in curtains these days as not popular.

Decided to leave the floor tiles as they are quite retro and in fashion now.

all old fittings removed and then tiles resurfaced

1970\'s bathroom before Reno

thanks green eyes - I will!

But the cubicle is self-contained (walls and base) the only outlet is the drain hole which goes straight through into the drain in the actual floor. So where is the water penetration? Do you mean moisture in the air from the shower/bath etc? Obviously this is different in Htopg's case as...

I have looked at same issue with a small bathroom where shower needed waterproofing. Ended up not using shower but putting screen over bath and making tenants use the shower in there instead. I am now looking at putting in a complete shower cubicle with base from bunnings for about $1000...

nor us and I have managed property for over 10 years.

I am interested in accidental damage. Can;'t believe my insurance doesn't pay for it. My tenant accidentally damaged a small portion of the lounge carpet (dropped a roast pork on it!) and the insurance said they'd pay if it was malicious damage or if I had damaged it but not the tenant...

For a rental it looks in good condition. I agree with Wylie and only do the minimum. It looks fine for a rental, believe me and I don't think there is much in that area - you have to go to Logan to find more. So I'd test the market as is and just wait and see for a couple of months. You...

Actually I don't' think banks will loan you money for an IP unless you have LL insurance - well mine won't anyway.
