  • spoonicus replied to the topic Concrete patch and paint or resurface? in the forum Value Adding 11 years, 2 months ago

    To be honest I don't know a lot about  it. When I was in Masters today I had a quick look and it seemed expensive, plus being a carpenter I could build a low profile deck that would look much better.

    I don't want to increase the height at all but really like the suggestion as it isn't something that would have crossed my mind.

    The joys of being…[Read more]

    Thanks for the responses, patch and paint here I come

    Thanks Jamie. 

    I figure the rent wont increase but I always have problems with what will make a property's value go up/ or by how much. I understand the biggie's are kitchen and bathroom. I will  get some prices and go from there.

  • spoonicus replied to the topic Townhouse Developers in the forum Value Adding 12 years, 11 months ago

    Hi Emma, Victoria is too large an area, its much easier for people to answer your questions if you are more specific. I currently work for a builder/ developer, and have worked for a different one in the past but neither of them do work outside a certain area. If you mention where you have bought/ where you intend to buy, and what services you…[Read more]

    You are looking to renovate the two most expensive rooms, but 150K does seem fairly steep. How many quotes did you get?

    Hey Dwolfe, I have a great fence guy that we have used a few times. I think he is based in Sommerville and I’m not sure how far into the city he goes but if you want I will send you his number

  • spoonicus replied to the topic Tiles or laminate planks? in the forum Value Adding 13 years, 11 months ago

    We have used the bamboo flooring on a number of shop fit outs that I have been involved in and while it is hard wearing it darkens quite substantially in the sun, so you will end up with light patches where the furniture sits.
    Personally I would go for the tiles

  • spoonicus replied to the topic Renovation of a townhouse in the forum Value Adding 13 years, 12 months ago

    To my way of thinking it really depends on the value of the place being renovated. Personally I wouldn’t put laminate in any mid range or higher properties, and would always use tiles in kitchen and bathroom areas. Apart from that it really depends on what sort of look you are trying to achieve.

    Congrats, and good luck on going unconditional on the unit

  • spoonicus replied to the topic Quick reno – Idea of costs? in the forum Most people seem to budget 13 years, 12 months ago

    Most people seem to budget between 5% and 10% of the purchase price on these types of renovations. If you are looking at much more or less your fixtures may be to cheap/expensive for the property that you are renovating

    Hi Beba, I have just bought in Seaford and would be happy to have someone local(ish) to share info with. Where are you based? Also can someone tell me where the casual investor meeting night is held?
    thanks

  • spoonicus replied to the topic Building a new house in the forum Help Needed! 14 years, 2 months ago

    I would be asking to see some of their work and ask to speak to past clients. I would want to know expected build duration and start date. You could ask if the builder has any ideas that could improve the job or cut unnecessary costs. You will need to find out exactly what is included and if anything isn’t included. You also need to realise that…[Read more]

    Hi chiller, I work for a mid sized construction company and I would be happy to pass on my bosses email address. He probably wouldn’t be able to start until early next year but by the sounds of it you still need to finalise your plans.
