They dont like it when you price match..but its their policy..and Mitre 10 have started to price match too.

Fantastic, Oohsam, you would have to be very happy with that.
Have a well deserved beer for some of the guys here, at Ubeaut, who have provided some brilliant advice along the way.
I'm sure you'll keep us all up to speed as you finish it off with oil and balustrades.
Well done.

Looking good mate - really well done!
You've now got a large really useful entertaining area I'm sure you're all going to love. Plus you'll find you're getting less dirt and mess in the house now too.
We've had heaps of rain here in Sydney so I've hardly touched my deck in the last couple of weeks, however I'll post some pics tomorrow of the s/steel balustrade I used - I love it and can highly recommend it!
You deserve to be proud - keep us posted with more pictures as you add the finishing touches.

Always house out your posts / stumps. That's how I do it all the time. I've seen that Scot Cam on Backyard Blitz bolt bearers to the side of post / stumps BUT he sticks a couple of nails into the side of them to hold them on then bolts them together. Not the way I do things and not the way I would recommend others do things.
In regards to posts in ground I prefer to have them in stirrups with the post / stump bolted to that and out of the ground.
Anyones thoughts on this one?
Cheers,
Dr - 307.All decks should be stained....black white black white black white.......after all it would match anything!
All roofs should be covered or tiled.....black colorbond, silver mist, black colorbond, silver mist, black colorbond.........after all, we wouldn't want a mismatch!
