    The Home Improvements Thread (3)

    Haha, actively removed the in ground one when I found out it's high up in the list of products Doctors won't have in their own homes... My neighbours Freeport seems to be doing marginally better but not by much. Here the netting is still fine, really just everything orange that's destroyed...

    The Home Improvements Thread (3)

    Anyone solved for something like this before ? Seemingly not created for our conditions. Knee jerk thought is to target an outdoor blind maker, pool cover or perhaps a truck sail maker using UV stable material, to remake it.

    The Home Improvements Thread (3)

    Thanks @WAslayer @W@P Yeah, I'm inclined to rather dump it. First quote has come in at R2.5k for pure removal, I'm leaning towards that, but just waiting on more before proceeding, one site inspection pending.

    The Home Improvements Thread (3)

    Looking for recommendations, the obvious answer is I need a professional to inspect, but I've got a lightning rod problem, bottom section seems to be rusted almost off, only noticed because of a creaking noise and looked up to this sight. Any recommendations of companies to use and what I'm...

    Your temu recommendations

    Question: is this just temu, or is that a proxy for all Chinese sites (Aliexpress, Taobao, DHGate, etc) ? Probably bought over 20 items with this order, these stand out for excellence. Perhaps also with the ceramic blanket. Need to possibly buy another thermometer since this one's chimney and I...

    New VW Golf GTI in South Africa – Pricing revealed

    They are restricting the number of units because…Fewer sales are trendy??? This country buys more GTIs than all other models (until recently by necessity on the Mk8). Very bizarre decisions while under existential threat. Consolidation is coming for Germanys car market.

    Festival of Motoring ... are you going?

    For the life of me I dont understand - their FAQs say gates open at 08h30, how then will cars be on track at 08h30, it takes 10 mins to get the pits from the gate. They did the same thing last year, but then it was the prebooked, and people were livid.

    Fireplace advice

    A quick update.Went over to Home fires, they were great. They also had fire bricks for R40 ea, so a win all around. They Identified the branding in seconds, which lead me to the manufacturer (local) - Infiniti 13kw unit. Retails for R33k, I got it for R4k. After some back and forth (B2B only...

    Fireplace advice

    So spoke to them, they recommended I reach out to fireplace warehouse or GCfires because they have different brands to identify the stove, since itll be easier to buy the exact size. Sounds like the "stone" bricks are tricky to find in generic large format while the vermiculite is super easy...

    Vinyl vs Laminate flooring in 2025

    Id vote for Vinyl as well, I bought about 100sqm worth when we were building and then head office decided we would do laminate instead all of the upstairs. Also specifically bought the water resistant premium version but Ive got some strange sporadic issues for lifting, gaps and what looks like...
