    You are asking something that most people would not have dealt with.It isn't as if you are asking for a plumber. Speak with Bachi at Aluline 9359  0200

    If you are going to DIY then any glazier will be able to supply the glass and the patch fittings.

    One side of the pelmet that covers the track will be removable, with two screws on the under side. Remove that and then undo the nuts on the two wheels.Then just slide the door out.

    Your first port of call needs to be to your engineer to design the panels and propping. Who you see next depends on wether they are tilt slabs (ie poured on site) or precast (cast in a factory). For tilt slabs you need to see a concreter. For precast you need to see a precast company. They will do shop drawings and send them to you for approval. Once they are approved they will cast them and deliver to you on site. They usually supply and erect, but some will supply only.

    or does anyone no the cost for tilt slabs psqm, say if i wanted slabs 5 meters high x say 5 meters wide what would this cost for the tilt slab only, i will stand it up.

    You need to be a qualified rigger to erect precast panels.You can't just hire a crane and have a go at it yourself. Keep in mind too that the bigger the panels are, the bigger the crane you will need for erection.

    If the ceiling is white then you will struggle as there are many types of ceiling white. If it is a colour then you shoul dbe able to have it colour matched. Did they give you the right sheen when they "matched" it for you?

    I would check your contact carefully if I were you.

    I have just bought 2 properties and both contracts had a "death" clause in them that if either paty dies or becomes incapacitated, the contact is voided. Never come accross it before so it may be the latest thing to put in a contract but just check first. I was going to do just that but as one of the places I am purchasing belongs to a 92 year old man who is not in the best of health, I opted to wait instead of risking $20K on a reno and have the benefactors of his estate reap the benefits of my hard work if the worst happens.

    Maybe this is the reason why the vendors won't give you access to the property?

    Regards

    Fortunately you can't get much deader than dead.It is a deceased estate.

    Hi Tools,

    Every purchaser should take out insurance as soon as contract is signed/exchanged. No exceptions.
    I would hope your solicitor would have advised you to do this. Get it in place, and hopefully this will alleviate the vendors concerns. All the best.

    You have missed my point. I haven;t bought the place yet, but in speaking with the vendor they said they are concerned about the insurance implications of allowing us early access. Normal landlord insurance will not cover us for renovations, especially on a property we don't yet own.

    The only way to know is to have a sample tested by a lab. It is not worth the risk , and don't listen to people who think they can tell just by looking at it.

    If it was me I would be repairing the lock now to secure my premises, and so I wouldn't be forking out for the insurance excess when someone just waltzes in and pinches my gear. I am not an accountant but I would suggect that it would not be a deductible expense until the property has been rented out.

    It sounds like you have random grooved ply, and I agree with harb that it will look crap if painted.

    There was a fair bit of it put on walls and front verandas of victorian homes in my area during the 70s as well….Personally I think it is outdated.

    MM, you need to add the rent received on to your personal exertion income, deduct the interest paid and other deductions, then pay tax on what is left .
