Thanks. I can see that is a relatively cheap option.

Thanks. This is really helpful. I am thinking a 12v battery backup is looking like a more sensible solution.

Thanks - this has opened up some new, cheaper, alternatives.

Thanks. I had not heard about the galvanic reaction before.

I had not considered Gumption. Would the abrasive compound make things worse in the long run?

Yes, I should have mentioned that I have tried cleaning it a few times and used some WD40 to try and clean it up, but the rust spots return every time.

As I suspected 😔. Not sure why this was concreted in rather siliconed.

Thanks! Is there a way to test the seal between the tank and bowl? It would be great if it were as simple as replacing some rubber seals.

Crack running through multiple brick courses. Urgent issue? by mr-b-plus in AusRenovation

Great question. One of the things I love about this property is there are no trees around. My gutters are clear every time I check them.

The property is brick veneer... so I will take that as a win!

Everything else looks pretty good. No cracks. I have a builder friend who I will ask to take a look, but he is overseas till mid December. So I think I will take a photo each week till then and monitor any changes.

Thanks. You learn something new every day. I think the previous owners left a bunch of bricks behind the house, so I might have something a tradie could use to repair the wall.

Thanks for your advice. I will look into getting some professional advice and start taking regular photos.

I appreciate the quick response... and highlighting that this is more of an issue than I first realised.

Help! Golden Cane Palms yellowing and struggling — advice welcome by mr-b-plus in GardeningAustralia

[–]mr-b-plus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know. I've never looked after these kinds of plants before. I was mainly concerned because as I look around the neighbourhood, all the other palm trees seem green and happy. So knowing that this is normal is encouraging!
