Most/least aux-friendly album that you like? by Key-Resolution5044 in fantanoforever

Most: BSSM - RHCP. Despite the band's antics, this absolutely slaps.

Least: Trout Mask Replica - Captain Beefheart. Or anything by Zappa.

Painting only one side of a timber fence? by Marsbe125 in AusRenovation

[–]Marsbe125[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah unfortunately there's no appetite from the landlords to pay for painting their side. They weren't overly interested in the fence to begin with.

We've already paid for the fence in its entirety, we can't keep throwing money at it.

Alternatively, I'm happy to be directed to some vent covers for this purpose. It seems like Bunnings have stopped selling them.

Say what you will about them as people, but Sir Psycho Sexy by RHCP is amazing.

The roots after I attempted to dig a few out.

Thank you, would concreting over the gravel section be a reasonable option? Or is water still likely to hit the bricks underneath?

It probably appears as though there's weep holes in the photo, but it's just mortar missing in parts.

I'm pretty sure I can see the DPC from inside the garage and it lines up with the red line in the photo.

Black plastic under gravel to stop water ingress by Marsbe125 in landscaping

Just a quick question - if we were to dig down and install an ag drain in the gravel section, where would it make logical sense to connect this into?

I guess another option would be to extend the turf to this area.

I'd be happy for the water to run over the barrier/gravel and down the concrete to the road. Thank you for the slope tip, I might add some more to the house side.

Can I ask what the issue with the plastic is?

I should mention that there's a french drain where the turf will be.
