Posted 27/11/18

Busy homeowner Michelle holds down parenting, full-time work and studying towards her PhD. She shares with us how she used Builderscrack to outsource her housework so she could focus on the important stuff... How It Started To say Michelle is a driven person is an understatement. Sitting across from a woman that packs so much into her days is inspiring, not only because of that drive but the clever way she has arranged her life to make it possible. She tells me "I’m doing a full-time PhD and I’m doing full-time work, so for me, I have lots to do and absolutely no time. I also have a teenager who’s almost 16, who is extremely social. Every weekend there are at least five to seven friends invited, and they are having a sleepover. I come home, and I'm like, “I left it nice and tidy, what happened?”. Michelle and her son moved into their home three years ago, and with a laugh explains “how things were starting to fall apart and in need of repair”. It wasn't only hard findi

Diagnosis & repair of Thetford cassette toilet cistern pump

Posted 1 year ago

Hi - I have a Thetford C-200 cassette toilet fitted in a caravan in rural Waihou. The caravan is on mains supply. Recently the pump which draws water from the cistern to flush the toilet stopped working. Investigation showed that the 3 amp blade fuse had blown, but a replacement fuse immediately blew, leading me to think the pump itself has shorted, or there's some other electrical fault. I'm looking for someone (ideally familiar with Thetford toilets) to visit me on-site, diagnose the f...
