Are these the mercerator units that chops up the waste so that it can flow into the smaller waste pipes, rather than the larger 100mm pipes that is normally used for toilets? I've read about these, mostly on American websites. Haven't heard of them being used in Australia. Does anyone have one installed in Australia? 

Being mechanical and electrical, I'm guessing that it would be more prone to breakdowns than standard toilets?

Hey Freckle

Do you know if replacing weatherboards with polystyrene and rendering over is cheaper than doing the same with blueboard? I've seen much more blueboard than polystyrene being done to houses. What are the pros and cons of each material?

Cheers

Does anyone know if blueboard can be fixed straight over the top of the fibre cement and then rendered over? Has anyone had this done before? I've had asbestos wall sheets removed from a back bungalow and then blueboard installed and rendered, but chose to remove the asbestos as I didn't like the idea of having any asbestos. Would cladding over add too much weight for the stud walls, as blueboards are 8mm thick I think (thicker and heavier than standard fibre cement sheets)? 

Also, has anyone had any experiences removing fibro or weatherboard and then installing styrofoam and rendering over? I guess it would be cheaper than blueboard but what are its disadvantages compared to blueboard? I imagine it would not be as solid as blueboard?

Cheers
