    How can I disinfect a matttress

    Heres a solution... Spray with petrol...... add a match and WOOF!!! Mattress problem solved. Otherwise just take them to the tip. Certain things have a use by date and mattresses are one of them. Pillows are another.

    Darwin property-efffect of Inpex deal?

    Well, we build cyclonic rated houses that are energy rated to 8 stars ( plus). Seems to high demand for housing in the territory by both the private sector as well as government. Looks like the logistics of operating in a place like Darwin would be much better than the like of Karratha ( ie...

    Darwin property-efffect of Inpex deal?

    Great synopsis Y33, I had 7 yrs in Karratha in the Pilbara so I know what you mean about transient populations and the love hate relationship people have with these regional centres. We're more interested in building opportunities than straight out investment in property. We are currently...

    PPOR - Prefab Concrete Panels

    Nah no need to go back to the drawing board. Its all been reinvented. You can have ANY shape you want, turrets included. And its made of cement or concrete coated EPS ( expanded polystyrene) The EPS is shaped first then spray coated with the cement finish.

    PPOR - Prefab Concrete Panels

    Yeh would personally agree with those sentiments. Bricks were introduced to Britain by the Romans and we do not seem to have progressed much since then!! If you viewed on a 36 degree day and it didn't seem hot then maybe the design has taken into account orientation and shading to minimise...

    PPOR - Prefab Concrete Panels

    Is the inside lined? with drywall or gyprock? Just curious if there is any insulation between the inside skin of the concrete panel and the inside wall, or if the panel is the only wall. Reason being that a solid concrete panel is a great 'heat sink' or heat soak and make a good thermal...

    I think some of us need to go to Darwin and have a good look around... With the Pilbara on the wane it looks like the next good thing to happen in regional Aus. Wonder if we can get a SS Darwinite to spare a few hours and give us the good oil on the ground if we get there? (Volunteers...

    Eligibility to the FHOG is not dependent on whether they built the house or you built it. If they are a first home owner then they should qualify for the grant. Maybe what you are querying is whether they will qualify for the $14k(established property) or the $21k ( new property) I would say...

    Builders Term ?

    Ummmm.... NO. It takes more than a short course to qualify as a registered builder. Ring teh QBSA and get some feedback from them about what it will take to get a builders ticket. They are helpful. I would recommend your best course of action is to approach the developer direct and sound...

    Builders Term ?

    Not always the case that builders can get terms off a developer. It depends on the developer and the subdivision and the developers requirement to get presales or else some activity on the ground ( eg.. buildings underway) to create confidence in the buying public to buy into the subdivision...
