Homes On Show - Save My Bathroom

Posted 30/05/18

Behind every job there is a story. This one starts with a homeowner, and a vision to renovate her bathroom from an outdated 1970’s relic to a modern, clean, and functional bathroom. The Dilemma The story starts with Joanne and her first tradie, a referral from a friend. The tradie seemed great. The homeowner and the tradie agreed that Joanne would buy everything that was needed for the bathroom, and the tradie gave her a cost to install and renovate to her plan. Fast forward three months and the tradie was nowhere to be seen and uncontactable. With the goods for her bathroom waiting in Mitre 10 and a loan taken out for the project, Joanne was desperate to get the job underway. The Solution “I spoke to someone at work, saying I didn’t know what to do. I needed to have my bathroom renovated, and my colleague said, have you put it on Builderscrack? Then they showed me how Builderscrack works, how to log on and use the site. I put the advert on the next day, and within two

I have an outside drain that the young son has been putting stones in. It isn't blocked completely yet, but needs to be emptied and some type of cover for it as well. I also have an outside tap that wont stop leaking, I have replaced washer and it's made no difference so maybe it's just worn out. Would like to be at home for these jobs so that would specify a 4pm or later time frame. Thanks

Help, we have a blocked loo!

Posted 6 months ago

We have a blocked toilet drain. Blockage appears to be approximately 2-3 metres past the sewage cap up the driveway towards the street.

The toilet is still blocked and we'll need to apologise to our neighbours for our activities at 10pm hosing down the driveway with hot soapy water and the broom... Hubby felt the blockage shift but I don't think our lil water blaster is strong enough for this job. Our local pl...
