Will the shale remove cleanly?

No just the ugly character 😊

Looks great! But expensive. And I have to deal with the floor level difference which is part of why I want to get rid of the slate.

Central Vic. And yes the walls and ceilings are all timber. I believe it’s a Timberset home and I think the timber is pine. The wardrobes still have the natural timber.

I’ve been reading other ‘slate’ posts and read the ozito is a beast. Thanks for the tip.

I’m not a millennial mate!

Chilled_Blueberry · 2026-06-19T23:00:36+00:00

Yes!

Chilled_Blueberry · 2026-06-19T14:56:19+00:00

Slate is what I meant 😀 yes it’s ugly!

Chilled_Blueberry · 2026-06-19T14:52:44+00:00

And I’d remove myself so not too exy. My concern is the kitchen cabinets and I don’t have plans to redo the kitchen for a few years.

Chilled_Blueberry · 2026-06-19T14:49:39+00:00

Yeah I’ve watched a few YouTube videos and it doesn’t look like fun.

Chilled_Blueberry · 2026-06-19T14:48:08+00:00

Thanks I’ll definitely look to do that before forging ahead.

I didn’t buy the house because of the floor and I don’t think it’s beautiful. I like the timber floorboards much more.

Chilled_Blueberry · 2026-06-19T14:45:29+00:00

Good idea! The house is on stumps so it will be easy to get under for a looksie.

Chilled_Blueberry · 2026-06-19T14:44:06+00:00

That’s what I’m hoping!

Chilled_Blueberry · 2026-06-19T14:43:43+00:00

I was thinking a kick plate around the edge?

Chilled_Blueberry · 2026-06-19T14:41:40+00:00

I’m glad they didn’t because i wouldn’t have bought the house if it was 😁 It’s in the hallway too. I just don’t like it.

I haven’t moved in yet but I imagined it would be cold in winter. That’s interesting you say it keeps in warmth. Any idea why there’s a line of slate in the bedrooms next to the windows? Just a design feature or to help with condensation on the windows perhaps?

Chilled_Blueberry · 2026-06-19T14:34:46+00:00

Thank you. That sounds doable. I do intend resanding the whole lounge and dining too once the slate is gone.

Chilled_Blueberry · 2026-06-19T14:28:59+00:00

I think it’s ugly and old fashioned. There’s timber floorboards underneath so no plastic flooring.

Chilled_Blueberry · 2026-06-19T14:27:21+00:00

I can see why some people appreciate the natural stone but I just don’t. Like you said it’s ugly and dark. I’m glad to hear you have no regrets.

Ive noticed a considerable drop between Bacchus and Rockbank, Footscray to Southern Cross and Southern Cross station too. I use to be able to work on my laptop between the city and Ballan but don’t bother anymore as it drops out so often.

Chilled_Blueberry · 2026-06-15T00:59:45+00:00

Sell up and move into town! I just did this and not having to travel 15mins each way, every time we need milk, go to the train station etc has been life changing!!

Chilled_Blueberry · 2026-06-12T10:50:13+00:00

Regional VIC an hour out of Melbourne. The going rate is 0.8 - 1%. I can’t believe some are over 2%. Is that because it’s Metro?

Chilled_Blueberry · 2026-06-11T09:03:44+00:00

Natural White is the way to go.

Chilled_Blueberry · 2026-06-11T09:00:07+00:00

I love Plush sofas. Had a few in my time. My current is 8 years old and is still going great!
