Obligatory before photo. Two panels up, screwed and glued. All panels up, plus some fill in strips where the wall/my positioning wasn't quite even. Bit of a pastel orange shade, going for a calm warm vibe. Few more bits to sort out, like the curtains, but this is basically it.

ok, so looking to get a rotary hammer drill. SDS / chuck, I don't care, can kinda go either way with corded/cordless - would prefer the latter, but well aware you lose balls with a battery.

I've been eyeing off the Ryobi HP brushless SDS (RSDS18X) but I think it's mostly the shiny factor and the fact we're already in the ecosystem - which I can happily toss in a bin if something better and cheaper comes along. It is the upper limit of the budget though, so call that a benchmark. Yes I will be shopping at the big green shed.

I already have two standard drills, an impact driver and a hammer drill, so as you can imagine the rotary will be used for situations where I am Done Asking Politely (and I have a lot of concrete I shall be negotiating with)

I am kinda worried may be there's lot of rust inside it and one day it's gonna snap and electrocute somone. Whom should I call to fix it? Sparky ? Welder ?

Also, Its a duplex so should I ask my neighbors to also pay half of whatever I get charged to fix it ?

Australian homes are notoriously cold in winter — draughty, with poor insulation, thin glass and inadequate heating. But there's a growing movement of people retrofitting their homes to make them cheaper to run and more comfortable year-round, while also reducing emissions.

So, there's the circular bulb itself, and also this little removable plastic cylinder with two metal feet on it. How do I tell which of them needs replacing, and what specification to look for to know what to replace it with?

Do we use a glue or cement to join 2 PVC pipes. Its for the reticulation system which will be underground.

Marble outdoor to internal hardwood. House built in the 60's and i just spent ages clearing up old carpet tack and cement some dickhead had slapped over the floorboards.

It's not even, but hangs around 3cm difference between flooring surfaces. The surrounding walls are original bullnose sideboards in spectacular condition, so would like to be sympathetic.

Ideas? Suggestions?

(Yes i'm treating the rot and putting in a moisture break between the cement and wood)

I recently purchased a property , built in 1977 and every time its windy outside it smell like sewer inside. How can I fix this ? I found in an article that it could be because of a septic tank nearby?
