    Kitchens in Brisbane - joinery, cabinet makers etc

    We have used A & T Cabinets in Loganholme for our kitchens. They have been comparatively good pricewise and the quality has been excellent. Our kitchens ranged from an upmarket one in our PPOR to a small cottage style. Alex and Tina are lovely; I guess it's fair to say that Alex is hot too :-).

    www.onthehouse.com.au

    Yes I found out about this website on Extra (5.30pm) Channel Nine today. Immediately I logged on to site and it was running slow so I daresay a million other people had seen the news also and were checking to see what their neighbours paid! It's fantastic, I had only been trying to get free...

    Tips on painting wall

    I usually find that one coat of the low sheen (or top coat) paint won't cover the undercoat sufficiently or provide an even finish. For a nice finish I do two coats of this, letting it dry in between coats. Depends how fussy you are.

    Procrastinating with the "less fun" bits

    Thank you to whomever started this thread, I feel sooooo much better now. I used to think I was a bit of a freak not wanting to answer the phone (home or mobile) and putting paperwork off until I couldn't shut my filing system drawers anymore (and papers begin falling out the back of the...

    Myer Briggs Personality Tests

    There was a note of underlying sarcasm in my original comment which you evidently missed. Of course I realise that the test was not around at the time of Socrates and Einstein, partially the reason for my comment. Perhaps I should have inserted a different smiley?? :cool: oh no.....wrong...

    Simple Subdivision Quote

    Wow I must have property in the wrong place! A subdivision (one into two lots) of one of my properties involves council contribution fees of over $20,000; that's not even beginning to consider planning/surveying/council application/civil engineering/construction costs!

    Myer Briggs Personality Tests

    It's interesting isn't it? I think if you understand yourself a little better and recognise your tendencies, you can learn to change behaviours which are destructive and also improve the way you communicate with others (especially one's partner)!! Please note all, that I do not intend to...

    Myer Briggs Personality Tests

    Try this link: http://similarminds.com/personality_tests.html It's the Jung test in the right hand column with a choice of the long or short test. Some of these other tests are pretty interesting as well. I have found various versions of the test and apparently the more times you try...

    Article - Poor shunted to suburbs

    I do believe that there are many genuinely lazy slack-a##e people around who will rely on any excuse to get out of work. However, I am inclined to agree with Evand that many people who have grown up in dreg suburbs to dreg parents and family and are surrounded by dreg friends and neighbours...

    2nd duplex reno from A to Z

    Wow, I am so impressed. I have just read your entire thread and can't believe you are doing all this yourself! You are putting us mere mortals to shame.....I can do a few things but you have surpassed all that! How long have you been doing your own renos for and how did you learn? But wait...

    Hi there, Here's my twopence for what it's worth: Speaking from experience, don't mix family and money, it caused alot of heartache and arguments within my family and we are very close!

    Investing in Brisbane / Lota. Good or Bad ?

    Used to be so much quieter and pieceful. Dave I can understand that! I've seen the same thing happen where I live but not to the same extent given that it's not a 'drive through' suburb. Where would you move to though, not many places nearby with the same great climate and proximity to...

    Investing in Brisbane / Lota. Good or Bad ?

    I live in bayside about 25mins from Lota. It is adjacent to Manly which is considered a high profile waterfront suburb and Wynnum, also partially on the water. There is a gorgeous waterfront esplanade through Wynnum/Manly which gets very popular on the weekends with locals, visitors and cyclists...

    Uuumm, welcome to me

    Thanks for your reply, it can be a bit daunting stepping into the unknown. Partner doesn't really have much interest in property so is not of much support to me!! Mind you, he will fix anything I ask him to, or build it which can be useful.:D Cheers.
