Only a thought as I am not experienced in this – but if you are planning a “community” type room also for residents activities and social gatherings you may be eligible for a govt grant of some sort – depending what’s available locally.
Might be worth checking out.

Hi Everyone, I still value my time on this site and learn heaps by popping in most days. I have missed a few of my “favorites” who don’t seem to be on as often. Like others we are busy – finishing IP2 repairs so it’s ready to rent out and our “baby” boy is being married on Saturday. We don’t get to snoop around here at work, so fit time in when…[Read more]

Interesting post thanks. We are still checking out suitable properties and will buy when a good one presents.

Thanks, Diane

[baaa] your just reminded me of the smell of paint and glue and bog!

We repaired some doors that had holes in them, I had seen it on TV and my clever hubby sucessfully did the repair.
We did a total paint, stripped the bathroom and replaced tiles with lamipanel, replaced the toilet bowl, replaced rotten kitchen floorboards and retiled the…[Read more]

Thankyou. All we are really wondering is if there is enough room on the land. We are able to put a transportable there as that is what is already on the block.

Ragards, Diane

which came first the eggs or the bunnies ???? [eh]

Have enjoyed folowing this thread it made me think and while I normally love giving gifts – I have now decided a plant at a non-event time may be the way to go. Have only had our IP 3 months and the tennant has already requested and got a new screendoor, and a carport is on the the agenda for…[Read more]
