Nah that's a normal house with kids fluffy. If you're not shouting at them every now and then you're not being a parent and it's our job.

I shout heaps.

pool came up great pix

 

but dont think council care about how safe your house is. its more how it got away with the building inspector signing it off. in vic we have VBA (victorian building authority) when I had or needed info or something looked into. its against regulation id find out who to speak to, to get the inspector ass handed to him, and then the builder. how it passes still baffles me. 

 

ps I want a swim too. haha

Ha I tried shouting at the kids yesterday but it hurt my damn teeth too much. I made do with frowning extra hard lol.

 

I reckon the neighbours think I'm nuts too but they can eat a fat salty D for breakfast.

Hey everyone

I haven't been on in a while, just had a read through and I'm glad to see pix has moved in

Dramas haven't stopped unfortunately but at least your moving slowly forward

I have been in my house just on 3 months now, few dramas here and there but most of them have been sorted out

Next on the list is air-con, splits or ducted, haven't decided yet

Built a deck out the back a couple weeks ago so we could have the wife's 30th at home, I couldn't be happier with the outcome, 40m2 and it actually makes my tiny backyard seem usable

Have to give it a light sand and oil it in the next weeks

Any recommendations on oil ? Google has just made me go around in circles, to many to choose from

Nice job Wilko looks great mate.

 

If you can go Ducted for the A/C well worth it and shouldn't cost much more than having a few split systems in.

All you need to do is make sure you zone the rooms off.

We have mitsubishi ducted and split air conditioners

Ducted in main area, kitchen, lounge main bed room and all the kids rooms x3. Kids rooms are zoned

Split to media because unable to duct work into roof space over media.

total cost for both systems 13k

these products are not cheep, but you get what you pay for.

We have had this product on our back deck (covered) for 20 years.

We have sanded back and coated again 3 times

Edit: DWD is not an oil and does go a little opaque when wet for a long time.

I have used a cheep Cabbots oil on a jarrah walkway to the pool, but that needs re-oiling every year (in full sun/rain)

ducted refrig if you want ice cold ac but it re uses the air already in the house

 

evap does struggle in near 40 degrees but cheaper.  can use it without water if outside is cooler than house, good to freshen the inside house air too. 

 

you can get splits that run off the one ext unit. unsure on price. 

 

ps deck looks  awesome
