I had this problem, and used a combo which has lasted years and doesn't look like giving up anytime soon

As mentioned above, there was very little concrete to contend with.

Every other post,...

15 year old RSS feed posts point to the wrong RF URL, unsurprisingly

I hope you know that's not what I meant :)

Anyway, it's been great that turnstiles shared this journey with us. My hope is that he helps others, in other threads, as questions arise. But to each...

#2 & #3 ?

Now you need to offer everyone else the fruits of your experience :)

You could explore masking it completely inside and spraying a few light coats (pardon the pun)

I'm envisioning a hand on the outside at the cable, and with the other hand on the inside, pushing towards the first hand while twisting the inside silver.Other possibility is that inside the silver...

Yes, that was the early advice and remains accurate... :D

Some photos from above the outside cladding may help us see what's going on...

Those footing sizes for the house and verandah are as much intended for hold down, as hold up. They'll be fine to hold up the tank at each corner (just 300kg each) also considering you plan to brace...

Good to see you back, Moondog :)

Yeah, one those you linked look better. 650 states flexibility, but 20% of "not much gap" is almost no flexibility. Think I'd go with the Storm one

What are the frames made of? Also stainless steel? Presumably they are hollow, and you will need to cover the cuts with a channel of some sort? Assuming the channel is 2 mm thick and wraps the edges,...

I've used Selley's All Clear on wet surfaces and it held well. Long time ago, and maybe before those other products existed (not sure)

Sounds very labour intensive, especially assuming sliding or awning opening faces need to be dealt with

Simpler/safer/faster to get it done by others, but the quote sounds too much, so I'd get more quotes, and see how you feel about the product they recommend, hear what they say about the wool etc

You really to find a solution that stops the water from the outside. Anything else is temporary at best, futile at worst

I think I missed it... What's the roof material? Looks like zinc?

We used Laminex Aquapanel Ripple finish in our ensuite shower, and it really is easy to keep clean as there are no joins or grout within the shower enclosure.

At that size, it'll need to be more than one fold I reckon. Also look into stacker doors. These days they all seal pretty well

Just to mention that if you choose gloss black glass, it will be like a mirror. Personal preference ;)

You'll probably find more success by sanding. Easier if it's been screwed down (rather than dome head nails) and they are driven below the surface slightly

I have a mate, very experienced in metal work, who had his mouth, teeth and nose heavily impacted when his 9" grinder "caught" and broke the cutting disc, and it all reared up towards him in a split...

I had a sub-board installed for the workshop and pool equipment, and ever since the chlorinator randomly trips its RCD - might do it every few days, might be good for two weeks or more, then it...

You could do one plug each; share the load :)

Well, that's her problem. :)

We've always had the gurgling since the kitchen reno and went with dual sinks. Two different DWs, same thing. We have solar, so we run the DW during the day when there...

The comment "the pinky says it all" is priceless :)

Can't wait!

My first car with my own money was a used XY Fairmont

Nice and neat. I angle-grind the cuts from the back of the tile to achieve the straight lines, so the disc's cut runs a little further on the back of the tile than the front (due to disc...

If made in Asia, they are all basically the same thing. Just pick a colour and a price you are happy with

I have both and can place a foot on both at the same time, and there is a small discernable difference in my experience (Pelawan timber and Modwood). One thing about composite (aka plastic blends) is...

Google "wood decking tiles". There is similar, but not the same, I think

You certainly need at least H4 if the timber is touching the ground

Yes, that's the stuff

You named this thread "standards". They come in many forms, including behaviour, respect, etc

Have you started? Use Formply, and you're done

The northern box you mention is also known as Pelawan, which may help with tracking it down. Very similar to Merbau, and yes, doesn't bleed.

I'd also say your deck has been stained dark, so just...

Picture=1000 words

There are some western red matt tins on MyDeal and elsewhere. I reckon you'd have more luck mixing your gloss with matt (might come out sorta satin?), than trying to match another brand

Edit:...

Perhaps do a granny flat, you know, when you get bored...

My experience with LEDs is that you replace the entire unit. My large kitchen light and dimmable exterior LEDs are not "serviceable" - must replace the whole item

If you decide on concrete as extra insurance, add BondCrete to the water and an extra 20% cement to the mix, all to make it extra water tight

Perhaps try a complete coating of epoxy? Flood the voids and coat the whole board too. Without an edge at which to be penetrated and peel, it may be more effective... Annual maintenance coats would...

Yeah, but refrigerated AC doesn't need any brain power at all :)

I have several of this type

Assuming the same functionality as mine, you can do 10 sets of on/off in a 24 hour period, of any period you like, choosing from several combinations of...

Crosses? There was one "with his name on it", so to speak :)

Merry Christmas to all!

I don't like following such a driver, and I don't like to think I am one either. To that end, when I got my first (ICE) car with Adaptive Cruise Control, I was so concerned about the brake light...

Yes, unfortunately my parts have never been in the van.

The general point is that for any home callout for any trade, if you escape for under $200 you are doing very well

The appliance repairers around here charge $140 call-out to assess the repair, paid in advance, and then charge $120 first hour (two years ago), then prorated every 15 minutes after that. Soon adds...

Some people, not you, nor me, would have no idea where to start with a door lock, so the tradesman, when duly called by grateful customer for help, can charge what they believe 'reasonable' for the...
