Heard something about this last week, think one of the local pollies said she wanted it sorted before the election!
I get the impression it’s goner go…[smiling]
We once was $6000 short of finishing a reno just before puting it on the market, so we got a credit card and finished the job, it was ok for the short term.
Hi stephencampbell,
Kitchen can be about 5-10 k depending on size,
electrics, plumbing etc, bathrooms bout the same. Flooring can be from $25-50 pr m2 to buy and as a rule of thumb about the same to install, timber polishing aprox $20 pr m2 on top.I can put you on to a good reno guy if u are in Melbourne, he will give you a better idea of cost and ways to save, just let me know if u need.
all the best, doog.
Hi,
No idea of the cost….think you would have to get the guy’s out to look at the job.But tip’s for DIY.
1) Wet down or even better mix pva (bondcrete etc) with water and spray with a garden sprayer.
2) Try to punch the nails though and remove full sheets if poss.(It’s when you break the stuff them nasty little fibers get out)
3) Double .2 Gauge poly (type used in under slab construction)
on the truck or trailer, load sheets on top, wrap and seal with duct tape, and away to tip. Remember only wrap what you can pull/ slide off without riping the polly. But you can make as many pack as u will. Take big care, use extra polly on the bottem make tripple if you wish, remember the guy’s at the tip will get dirty with you if the packs are open or ripped.Must, must, must *P2 resperator and correct filters.*
A disposable overall is a good idea on top of old shorts and tshirt and when finished into a plastic bag and tip it with the assy.
For people in Melbourne, dunno if Tulla tip is still taking assy, but i think Eltham is ( better phone first)
Work safe is the regulator here in vic, so u may get more info from them.
Good luck.
Hi berrygordy,
I can recommend the two old pom’s who have done our last two houses.
We found them to be very good.
they are called ‘the reno kings’ ( Think they are from around Yarraville way.)
Contact ….Paul 0418 527 887
Good luck,
Doog.ANZ was by far the best for us ’bout 6 months ago.
Just needed a letter from the accountant.
Hope this helps, doog.
Let me know if u need more info.
Hobsons bay, vic
Could anyone tell me how i can find info on sold properties in the Brooklyn area please.
Cheers, doog.

To sell the land seperately you still need to get a town planning permit. What you can do with the block will be strongly dependent on the skill of your designer, I would suggest you find yourself an architect or draftsperson who is experienced in mediaum density housing and get them to give you some advice. It is a waste of time to speak with the local council if you don’t have a concept to show them. If you would like a referal to a designer, I have a number I could recommend to you, just send me an email at [email protected] and i will send you a couple of options.

Alistair PerryThanks for that Alister….Email on the way to you sir.
Just to add a bit more info….We seem to have the required driveway width, and a six foot easment runs along the back fence. We could maybe get permision for two t/h’s on the back.
So IF i sold the two back sub blocks for round 70k each and the existing (now renorvated) house for bout 260k neting aprox 400k. [biggrin]But if i sold alltogether seems the return would be bout low threes [blush2] [hmm]
Am i missing somthing here?
cheers, doog.Thanks for the info, and yes i think we will sell both. But can we sell the land separate to the house, and if so is there any drawbacks in doing so.
Cheers.
