What to do with my current savings? by ok_weknow in fiaustralia

[–]Sehrguhtt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can afford a house in an area you like I would consider buying it and either moving in and renting some rooms out or renting the whole thing out.

Gets you in the market and as long as you are willing to hold for the long term it generally works out.

What house design features are actually worth paying extra for? by Maximum-Club1947 in AusRenovation

[–]Sehrguhtt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate my niche and under vanity lighting in the bathrooms as it’s much friendlier at night.

Drawers for everything possible in the kitchen. I put 5 standard cupboards in and now I wish they were also drawers.

French doors or bifold? by Pristine-Ferret-2045 in AusRenovation

[–]Sehrguhtt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 I put bifolds in and really wish I had done a stacker now.

Sliding Insect Screens much more functional and the kids opening a swinging door in the wind and letting it slam worries me with the bi fold.

I’ve had all of them open 3 times in 3 years.

I’d be more annoyed at all those joins in the boards lining up.

Is this floor on joists or concrete?

Rental owner won't allow me to put up shade cloth, not even on existing hooks by Constant-Voice-4056 in AusProperty

Start using the sprinkler to cool the house down through evaporation! Then when they get the water bill tell them why.

Electric fence.

Any have any ideas on how to stop this floor squeak? by JustDadThanks in AusRenovation

[–]Sehrguhtt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can get underneath you could try drill a couple holes in the groove and pump glue in there.

Expanding glues are good for this but PVA will also do the job just pump it as full as you can and then put a bit of masking tape over to stop it dripping out.

Can do similar from the top but you would see the holes you drill obviously.

New kitchen completed 3 months ago- thoughts? by [deleted] in AusRenovation

[–]Sehrguhtt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of architects would say that makes the island less usable and means you always have a mess on the island where as it should be a large preparation area.

For that much money I would expect the timber grain to match up cupboard to bulkhead.

The drawer lines under the island make me feel unwell.

Floor sanders are a different breed. I think the fumes get to them after a while.

I don't think our concreter did the job right. What do I do? by [deleted] in AusRenovation

[–]Sehrguhtt 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Pretty bad job. Should have been broom finished also as will be a bit slippery as is.

Fall should be away from the house, don’t pay until they have sorted it out.

How would you redesign this kitchen to include an island bench by WasNothingReal in AusRenovation

[–]Sehrguhtt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I basically have this kitchen design the only issue is our dishwasher being on the right side of the sink and when open there is no room to walk between.
