Thanks for your replies. RumpledElf I'd love to see how your build progresses!

If you and your partner read "Don't sweat the small stuff... and its all small stuff" and its related relationship-oriented book "Don't sweat the small stuff in love" you should both be in a good mindset for a long lasting marriage. My husband and I have been together since I was 15 / he was...

Yes we removed the tiles ourself but our house is double brick with rendered internal walls so an entirely different ballgame to plaster walls - the tiles were stuck on with some sort of super duper glue so we ended up buying a small jackhammer! We started off with a hammer and bolster from...

Yes remove everything, old tiles etc before the kitchen is installed.

I plead the "typing on an ipad" defence to that one! :p

That just happened to me too, except I hit reply first :p

2.1: Floor tiles can be done before or after kitchen. If it were me I would tile afterwards so that the tiling can go neatly up to the kickboards. If you tile first, you will probably find you have gaps of varying sizes between the kickboards and the floor that need to be sealed, possibly...

Has anyone built one, or looked into building one? How to they compare to traditional building in quality of final product and cost? How did you go getting finance and planning approval? Any tips, tricks or pitfalls I should know of? Thanks :)

Second this - I just found this out reading through ATO publications while doing my tax yesterday. Am considering amending both OH & Is tax returns for the past 2 years as our accountant missed out on this deduction :mad: being why I am now doing our tax myself!

I wonder if this the same Dymphna Boholt who was described on Today Tonight (back in 2004) as owning 'over 60 properties'. That statement (amongst others) led to the ACCC taking Channel 7 all the way to the High Court for misleading and deceptive conduct. The High Court decision was only...

If you want to take the horse on to save it, good for you, but don't expect to be able to ride it. If you do want to ride, DO NOT get a) a three year old b) a horse that is not broken to saddle c) a horse which is broken to saddle but inexperienced ('green') or d) a horse which will need...

This sums up how I feel about the situation. I wouldn't lie if a buyer asked about the houses history but I also wouldn't be inclined to advertise the traumatic death of a relative to all and sundry. I also do wonder how many people would genuinely care about a death in the house and how...

Assuming xixo's IP is also in Victoria (xixio's location is listed as Melbourne) then the NSW Dividing Fences Act won't be much help to him.

In theory, its all supply and demand. At least in Canberra, there is a higher demand for 'pets allowed' rentals than there is supply so I think that yes, it does allow you to charge a higher rent. We rent our properties at the higher end of the market rate as 'pets allowed' and have always had...

I have logged back onto this forum for what seems like the first time in years... could someone PM me also if this meeting is still on and I am welcome to attend?

Its tough being tight on cash... can you go off and get one of those interest free deals from retravision, harvey norman etc? Quite often they will include installation in the price. That way you have fulfilled your obligations and don't need to find the cash for whatever the interest free...

I am only an occasional visitor who doesn't live on the site so I'm not aware of the 'running joke'. My personal opinion is if you are going to take the time to respond to a thread, why not take the time to make sure people will actually read your post? Since joining the site 2 years ago I...

They have recently updated the Canberra maps with much higher res pictures, but even these are quite out of date. I can tell they photographed my PPOR in a particular week in February based on the progress of our back deck, which, for the record, doesn't require approval.

Why no punctuation and sentence structure :confused:

Based on Choice reviews I purchased a $400 Conia cheapy from K-Mart - for my PPOR no less, but Choice ranked it right up there with the $800-1000 dishwashers. Not a bad dishwasher for the price, it cleans everything we put to it provided you don't stack it too tightly, and we don't rinse...
