    Default Timbercrete

    Not sure about Candelo - the supplier I spoke with is from Nowra. I've spoken to a few people and checked out some structures made from it. It seems to be as good as it reads.

    Sorry, I looked it up after I posted that. Different stuff. The guy at Candelo makes it himself.

    Hope it doesn't get too trendy. We're moving there to get away from that sort of junk. Can you recommend any good concretors around that area ?

    Nah, tongue in cheek. Seems to be a retirement destination for a lot of people from up your way though. For a place the size of Bemboka (pop. couldn't be more than a couple of hundred) it seems to get mentioned a lot.

    Regarding concretors, the guy I used only does shed slabs and I had to twist his arm to get him to do my place. I've got the number of another guy who a builder mate of mine uses all the time and he's a fussy bugger. I'll try and dig it out and PM you.
