REAL ESTATE AGENT INDEX

Interest rates are on the move again. Th e RBA increased rates by 25 basis points and took the offi cial cash rate to 3.50 on Tuesday, signalling strength and recovery in our economy. But increasing rates aren’t just impacting on homeowners with mortgages, they’re also changing the dynamic of our property market. In this week’s cover story, Julie Gatehouse talks exclusively to one of Australia’s most respected and experienced fi nance and economic commentators, Michael Pascoe, about our economy. He also talks candidly about how our economy’s recovery may impact on the property market. Th is exclusive insight is part of a two-part series that will continue in next week’s issue. Th is week we also chat to local pro surfer Grant Th omas about life on the Coast, and venture to Woombye to chat to a veteran agent who is retiring from the industry at the age of 82. Summer is just around the corner and our Home section helps you prepare, with tips and tricks for outdoor living, gardening and how to create the ultimate bar and pool room. Enjoy.

cover story

The rating game by Julie Gatehouse

The offi cial cash rate is rising for the fi rst time since March 2008. In the fi rst of a two-part series, we talk to economic and property analysts about how the turning tide is a healthy sign for the residential housing market.

4 My Property Review | November 6, 2009

.indd 1 4/11/2009 11:14:03 AM


Financial commentator Michael Pascoe is frustrated by some of the “shock horror” headlines he’s read about interest rates lately. “It’s not a shock or a

horror because the cost of borrowing money in Australia is still relatively cheap,” he exclusively tells MPR from Sydney. “People shouldn’t be spooked – the initial tightening of interest rates is actually good news.”

At fi rst, it may seem a hard pill to swallow for the thousands of Sunshine Coast home owners who’ve enjoyed paying a little less on their mortgages as lending institutions dropped their rates over the past 19 months.

Th e Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), which sets the offi cial cash rate, reduced it to a historic low three per cent in April this year. October 2009’s quarter per cent increase was the fi rst since March 2008, when the cash rate went up 0.25 to 7.25 per cent. A quarter per cent equals about $50 a month on the average $300,000 mortgage.

But analysts say that ongoing, and hopefully minimal, rate rises in coming months present a rosier outlook for our economy. And that’s a big factor in strengthening the property market, as well as improving our lifestyles.

Drawing on his three decades of fi nancial analysis, Michael Pascoe says it’s not “being positive”, it’s being realistic. “Th e RBA is sounding the all-clear siren,” he says. “It’s confi dent that Australia’s fi nancial crisis is over, we’re gradually getting back to work and should have normal economic trend growth [about three per cent] in 2010. Th e major banks are still making multibillion-dollar profi ts.”

With forecasts that the offi cial cash rate may reach four per cent by February, Michael says this is stimulatory. “It’s still the RBA encouraging spending,” he says. “Five per cent is considered neutral. Th ree per cent was a crisis rate and we’ve all been warned the emergency has passed. Anyone silly enough to think it would stay at three per cent shouldn’t have a home loan on such a small margin.”

In addition, Michael says infl ation is close to target and predictions of rampant unemployment are being scaled back. “Th e consensus is that unemployment will peak below seven per cent,” he says. “To keep that in perspective, Australia for more than 30 years has averaged a rate of 7.2 per cent. Of course, not having a job is awful for an individual, but in terms of the economy we do not have a disastrous problem.”

Th e RBA’s Malcolm Edey told a conference last week, “We’re fortunate to be meeting today in an environment where the worst of the fi nancial crisis seems to be behind us.” Th e RBA’s assistant governor (fi nancial system) said the maximum disruption to

world fi nancial systems had lasted about six months from September ’08.

“Th e good news is that things have been improving for some months,” he said. “Th e world economy is returning to growth, confi dence has picked up and fi nancial market conditions have improved signifi cantly on a number of fronts ... and the Australian banking system has proven a lot more robust than some of its counterparts abroad.”

Th e RBA believes Australia has benefi ted from domestic resilience and close ties to Asia. Malcolm said the global crisis was more a “US and Europe crisis” and sound banking practices had prevailed in the Australian housing market.

“Th is has made a very important contribution to the banks’ overall balance-sheet quality, given that housing loans comprise around 60 per cent of their loan book,” he said. Australian banks’ non-performing housing loans were a bit over half of one per cent of the amounts

outstanding, compared with more than two per cent in the UK and almost six per cent in the US.

ANZ economist Alex Joiner tells MPR from Melbourne that Australia’s resilience is already translating to the property market. “Th e US and UK suff ered house price falls of between 20 and 30 per cent, whereas ours was four to fi ve per cent across the country – and we’ve more than recovered those losses now,” he says. “Th e Australian property market this year has seen gains of six to eight per cent.”

Queensland property prices, which rose four to fi ve per cent, didn’t perform as outstandingly as capital cities such as Sydney with nine per cent growth. But Alex attributes that to a correction aft er the signifi cant jump in Queensland prices in the previous fi ve years, due largely to the mining boom.

“Fundamentally, Queensland property is a better story,” he says. “Interstate people moving north contribute to its high population growth. Its exposure to the commodities boom, which will return in future, is another factor. China’s interest is not going away.”

As an example, recent trade data shows our four most important merchandise export destinations this year were China, Japan, South Korea and India. Fift h was the US, which was second half a dozen years ago.

On the Sunshine Coast, the Real Estate Institute of Queensland’s most recent data shows a median house price of $445,000 for the June quarter 2009. Th at’s 1.1 per cent higher than the previous quarter. Coast units are bouncing back quicker, with a median price of $348,000 for the June quarter up 2.4 per cent on the previous three months. September quarter fi gures are expected within weeks.

So, now that the economic storm is receding and the RBA’s rates are rising, what are the likely hip-pocket eff ects for budding and existing home owners?

RP Data’s head of research Tim Lawless does not expect a dramatic eff ect on the market. “To most, a rising rate of interest should come as no surprise and the majority of mortgage holders would have been factoring a ‘more normal’ rate into their budgets,” he says.

Tim also thinks default rates will stay low. “Th e numbers of new borrowers who have stretched their fi nances too thinly are not likely to represent a large proportion of the market. Banks have been exceptionally risk averse, generally requiring a 10 per cent deposit and demonstrated track record of genuine savings.”

REIQ managing director Dan Molloy says, “I don’t think we’ll see a rapid increase in rates, so owners will certainly have time to readjust to repayments of a more usual level. Lenders have also applied much tighter lending criteria to fi rst-home owners over the past six months, which will help provide a buff er against rate rises.”

Most mortgage holders will barely notice these rate rises, says Michael Pascoe. “Th at’s because they’ve wisely maintained their repayment levels at what they were paying back when the cash rate was 7.25 per cent,” he says. “Th ey’ve made the best of a great opportunity to pay down their mortgages more quickly.

“For those relatively few mortgage holders who’ve been hit by unemployment or under-employment, fi rmer house prices have cushioned the blow by generally making it possible for them to sell at no or minimal loss if they have to – it’s always best to avoid a mortgagee sale if you possibly can.

“And the major lenders have promised a repayment moratorium for 12 months for newly unemployed, giving time to hopefully fi nd more work – but of course they’re capitalising the foregone interest payments. Banks aren’t charities.”

The Reserve Bank is confi dent that Australia’s fi nancial crisis is over, we’re gradually getting back

to work and should have normal economic trend growth [about three per cent] in 2010. The major banks

are still making multibillion-dollar profi ts

“

cover story

What will the banks pass on to consumers? Michael believes lenders will bump up interest rates but in line with offi cial cash rate rises. “Any argument to put up rates more than that is getting slimmer, considering the National Australia Bank and ANZ have just increased their net interest margins,” he says. “Th ey have been justifi ed in the past, so mortgage holders can’t complain, but keep in mind that business loans have copped it far worse than private home loans. Residential is a bit of a protected species because of the political impact.”

Last month RBA governor Glenn Stevens acknowledged this decline in business borrowing “as companies have sought to reduce leverage in an environment of tighter lending standards”. But he pointed out that housing credit growth had been solid and house prices “have risen appreciably over the past six months”.

Home owners and buyers will have to consider the changing fi nancial landscape when choosing or re-negotiating a loan. Alex Joiner of ANZ says while not many people are fi xing loans at the moment, picking a term and a rate is up to each individual. “People have to weigh up the certainty off ered by a higher fi xed rate or the risk with a lower variable rate,” he says. “Th ere have been signifi cant increases in fi xed rates, so it can be a steep diff erence between variable and fi xed over, say, three years.”

Last week the ANZ standard variable rate for home loans was 6.06 per cent a year. Its fi xed rate was 6.5 per cent over one year, 8.04 over fi ve years and 8.94 over 10 years.

“Fixing loans is a diffi cult question,” says Michael Pascoe. “It’s always the individual betting against the money market. Remember, it’s not a matter of you making money, or even saving it, because the premium paid for a fi xed loan is eff ectively an insurance premium against interest rates going crazy and doing you damage. Either you pay more to fi x a rate, or you make sure you can aff ord a variable rate going stupid.”

Michael urges home owners to also consider the unexpected. “People get transferred for work or divorced or die, and if there’s a big fi xed loan, paying it out can cost a great deal of money.”

He says in the current climate, those who believe the global economy remains fragile, with little chance of infl ation taking off , may stick with a variable rate. Th ose who worry that a “housing bubble” could develop, in turn spurring big rate rises by the RBA to control it, may choose to fi x. “And if you have no idea, you’ll probably do a bit of both,” he says with a smile.

market update

Another channel for property MPR is now on the small screen to give sellers a bigger audience.

With summer fast approaching, tourists are in the process of booking their dream holiday to

the Sunshine Coast where they can laze about in our stunning resorts and loll on our fabulous beaches. Now they can also see all the latest properties for sale on the Sunshine Coast from the couch of their comfy, air-conditioned room.

In a fi rst ever, My Property Review has exclusively teamed up with another local company, Resort TV, an in-house broadcast holiday channel which is played in televisions across the Coast’s resort apartments, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Th is venture directly targets the Coast’s very large and very lucrative tourism market and exposes them to the latest properties for sale on the Sunshine Coast, via My Property Review (MPR).

Publisher of MPR, Noel Olson, says this approach to marketing property is a fi rst for the region. “When you combine our weekly magazine’s huge distribution of more than sixty-two thousand copies each week, with Resort TV’s client base

which incorporates almost 5000 resort rooms, no other local media combination can rival that type of targeted tourist audience,” he said.

Resort TV’s director, Hami Shelford, says he’s thrilled with the exclusive partnership, as it’s providing inquisitive tourists with a snapshot of the local property market. “Th is new relationship between Resort TV and MPR will take Resort TV’s service to a whole other level. Th e annual number of tourist viewers that have access to Resort TV is in excess of 1.17 million, when based on 100 per cent occupancy,” he adds. “Th is exciting new venture also opens up new opportunities for those who are selling property and want to reach an even larger audience, directly targeting the tourist market. It’s a fi rst for the local property industry and for the tourists holidaying here on the Sunshine Coast.”

Noel says properties can be advertised on Resort TV for as little as $17 per day, through one of MPR’s supporting real estate professionals. Resort TV’s Hami Shelford

With a Bachelor of Business in marketing and management, and

My Property Review and Bank of Queensland Mooloolaba joined forces to host the fi rst Exclusive 300 Club Melbourne Cup charity gala at Corbould race track on Tuesday. Th e sold-out event was held in a large trackside marquee, and raised much-needed funds for the Sunshine Coast Health Foundation. More than 330 locals including a large proportion of business identities attended the exclusive charity luncheon, with generous donations far exceeding expectations.

Th e foundation’s manager, Lisa Rowe, said it was one of the most successful fundraising events they’d ever experienced.

“Th e fundraising allowed us to focus

on a diff erent area of need this year, the emergency department at Nambour Hospital. Th e event was a huge success, where a large part of the local real estate industry rallied in aid of the cause, which is an area of the local health service that any one of us may rely on at any given time in our lives,” she said.

“Th e Sunshine Coast Health Foundation would like to thank MPR and Bank Of Queensland Mooloolaba for creating the event. It’s helped create awareness for the health foundation and has also opened up a whole new world of fundraising opportunities for us.”

Th e soiree included a sumptuous lunch plus a number of fundraising initiatives including an auction with very luxurious prize packages including a Kendell painting, a signed Brisbane Lions AFL jumper plus a Queenstown holiday. Th e bling bar alone raised a lot of funds, where a glass of French champagne automatically entered guests into a draw to win a stunning $10,000 diamond donated by local jeweller from Cotton Tree, NY2K.

Riding the crest of success He’s swapped surfi ng the world’s waves for a home life in Maroochydore, and longboarder and passionate local Grant Thomas couldn’t be happier.

Surfers love the Sunshine Coast. With its beautiful beaches, it boasts an array of beach and point breaks that have been the stomping ground for some of the

country’s top surfers, including longboard champion and local surfi ng identity, Grant Th omas. Grant has been a mad-keen surfer all his life. Born and bred on the Sunshine Coast, it was a given that he would heed the call of the ocean and pursue a career as a professional surfer, a malibu – or longboard – his weapon of choice. Th e 31-year-old surfed his way through high school, swapping the classroom for the World Longboard Tour upon graduation. He spent the next 11 years surfi ng the world and at his career peak, was ranked seventh in the world, thanks to fi nals appearances, placings and wins at numerous world tour events.

While he loved life and the perks associated with being one of the world’s best longboarders, last year he

decided it was time to wind down. Tragically, only two months aft er the birth of his fi rst son Frederick in June 2008, Grant’s mother passed away. “I was getting ready to retire anyway, but when mum died I knew it was time,” Grant says. “I had my family to look aft er.”

Although he has offi cially wrung out the competitor’s rash shirt, Grant still competes in a few contests in Australia, “to keep my sponsors happy”. Grant is sponsored by Classic Malibu in Noosa and has also been sponsored by Ocean & Earth since the age of 17.

Today he owns and operates the Maroochy Surf School, a business he has worked in since the age of 18, under the guidance of former coach and local surfi ng icon, Ian ‘Porto’ Portingale. Grant bought the business from Ian about fi ve years ago, although his friend and mentor is never far away. “We teach from beginners to advanced surfers at the school and we have had some really good up-and-coming young surfers through,” Grant says. “I help them get the start they need and then send them on to Ian when they get serious.”

Grant can be found hard at work on the beach from 6am to 11am at least fi ve days a week. His surf school teaches between 5000 and 7000 students each year, with school classes and tour groups his bread and butter.

A passionate Maroochydore local, Grant bought his Wrigley Street home two years ago. It’s about six houses away from the home he grew up in – the fi rst his parents owned. “We are a very local family,” he says. “When I was born and came home from hospital, I was brought home to Wrigley Street, and when Frederick was born he came home to the same street, just a few doors down.”

Grant’s aim was to buy into the local market. “It’s a good house – the last owners did a fair bit of renovation and it has a pool and a sandpit, so it’s good for a family. It’s a really solid start and I doubt we’ll ever sell it.”

Grant’s house is not only handy to his local break at Maroochydore, but it’s just a driver and a nine-iron from the home of his newest passion, Horton Park Golf Course. Th is semi-retired pro-surfer is now a keen golfer.

“When mum fi rst fell sick, I used to surf every day and I’d sit out on the board for ages thinking about it. I needed

When I was born I was brought home to Wrigley Street, and when

my son was born he came home to the same street, a few doors down

“ “something that would take my mind off it. When she passed away I took up golf and I just love it. I even have my own golf buggy so I can shoot down to the course.

Grant’s focus is on building a happy life for his wife of 18 months, Rachel, and his son. Frederick was named aft er Grant’s grandfather, Fred Murray, who was chairman of the Maroochy Shire for 12 years.

Aside from his thriving surf school, Grant is also studying to become a primary school teacher and has just fi nished his fi rst year. “I’ve been teaching grade two all year on prac and some days I still feel like I’m the biggest kid in the class,” he says. “Mum was a teacher until the day she died so I know how great it was to grow up in a family with a teacher for a parent as she could be with us on school holidays and aft er school.”

Grant refl ects on his career and adds, “It’s never been about becoming a millionaire. You can’t swap time for

money and I want to be able to spend time with my family. Lots of people have heaps of money but are unhappy. Sometimes we struggle but I get to spend time with my son and wife and you can’t buy that.”

Despite all the surfi ng trophies he’s won, Grant says Frederick is one of his proudest achievements. “I think I needed fatherhood but I just didn’t know it. I was a bit of a party boy – I guess I still am – but having Frederick has made me appreciate the simple things in life. I wouldn’t swap it for anything.”

He adds, “When mum passed away I had my new son to focus on. I had something to strive towards and savour. If I didn’t have him I don’t know how I’d have coped.”

So is Frederick bound for longboard glory, just like his dad? “He loves the water but this will be his fi rst proper summer as he was only born last June. I can’t wait to spend more time with him on the beach – he’ll be eating the sand for sure. But I have bigger plans for Frederick. He’s going to be a rock star or a guitar-playing pro golfer.”

As he enters a new chapter, Grant is a happy man, riding the crest of success in all aspects of his life. “I’m loving every minute of my life right now,” he says. “Yes there are pressures, but they are diff erent. It used to be about nerves and competition but now it’s about paying the mortgage and feeding my family. Life is good.”

Grant spends less time competing – he’s pictured in action in WA (above) and North

Stradbroke Island (left) – and more time with wife Rachel and son Frederick (right)

Woombye Real Estate’s Ron Corelli is retiring, and this time, the octogenarian says, he means business.

by Pauline Clayton

The retiring typeAt almost 84 years old, Ron Corelli,

reputedly the oldest real estate agent in the region, has taken

down his shingle and retired.At least he says he has, but he

made the same announcement about a year ago, and that ‘retirement’ lasted just three months.

When My Property Review called he was pushing a mower around the lawn and had just fi nished vacuuming the house, so he’s not spending his retirement sitting down. He’s industriously helping wife Helen spruce up the family home in Woombye, which is on the market. “We want to go back to acreage,” he says.

To that end, Ron and Helen have been exploring the region looking for their small patch, about two or three acres, just enough for a veggie garden, some ducks and chooks, and room for the grandchildren to explore.

Ron, who describes himself as an old-fashioned real estate agent, has been selling property for and to locals for almost 20 years.

He has sold property to many repeat clients, and in the process made friends on the Gold Coast, in Buderim, Mooloolaba, Nambour, Palmwoods and surrounding regions. He has worked with the major companies including Raine & Horne, LJ Hooker and First National.

Before moving to Queensland nearly 30 years ago and starting in real estate, Ron was in the newspaper industry with News Limited in sales and management.

With News Limited he worked in the same offi ce as Mike Munro, now one of Australia’s most popular TV presenters. He claims not to have many hobbies, but for years Ron was an excellent horseman, who rode every

day and kept four or fi ve horses in the back paddock. He even had an interest in a couple of race horses.

While he has reluctantly given up that passion (“at my age you don’t mend that quick aft er a fall”), he still has a keen eye for a good horse.

But with energy to spare, Ron has always found projects to keep him busy in life and his community. He was one of the longest serving presidents of the Palmwoods Progress Association. “I organised the PBA 100th anniversary, which took place in the centre of town, right down the main street of Palmwoods.

“We had musicians and stalls and some of the older members dressed in early day fashions. Th ey wandered through the crowds reminding everyone of the history of the region.”

Even further back he served in Japan and the South Pacifi c with the RAAF during World War II.

Today he credits working in real estate as rewarding him with a good life.

“I have met some wonderful people, and have enjoyed helping people when they are making one of the biggest decisions in their lives.

“I had a young chap in the other day looking to buy a house. He said to me that I had sold one to his mother and father at Upper Landershute only a few years ago.

“I like meeting people, spending time with them and talking about their lifestyle and their dreams. As a result I have made

great friends. And that is what has kept me going.

Ron admits that he is sad to be retiring, as he will miss the buzz of the business, but is itching to get back onto acreage with Helen he can get

down to some serious gardening.Th ey are looking at property around

Gympie, so they will not be too far away from Palmwoods.

And with 14 grandchildren and one great granddaughter, Gingerlily, life is unlikely to ever be anything but busy for Ron Corelli, even if he is hanging up his shingle as the oldest real estate consultant on the Sunshine Coast.

cover story

Summer and entertaining go hand-in-hand, which is why a designated entertaining area is a desirable feature in any Sunshine Coast property. Local real

estate agents say a games room is a smart addition to any home. Th is room, complete with a built-in bar, is the ideal place for hanging out with family and friends, and with an increase in the number of extended families on the Coast and more and more kids reluctant to leave the nest until they’re in their early to late 20s, it’s important to have a space that everyone can enjoy.

Before Xbox, PlayStation and Wii, there was one game that provided hours of fun – the pool table. Popularised in a much simpler time, the pool table is the shining star of every games room.

Got room?Don’t have a room set aside specifi cally for playing pool? No need to call in the reno guys just yet. A spare room, garage, rumpus room or rarely used dining room can be easily transformed into a pool room – just as long as it’s big enough to fi t the table and the players. Des Mahoney from Billiards Shop in Maroochydore says one of the most common problems people face is not allowing enough space around the table for playing pool.

“It’s critical that you get the right size table for your room,” he says. “We have a guide on our brochure. Th e worst case scenario is a cue ball against the cushion. You need ample length – at least the length of the cue – to be able to play the shot [without bumping into walls].”

And you have to get the right fl ooring. If you’re installing a bar, it’s best not to have carpet on the fl oor unless you’re going to be extremely careful about spills. And where’s the fun in that? Tiles or wooden fl oorboards are a better option. Th e other major player in your games room is lighting. You will need a bright light directly above the spot where your pool table will sit.

Table mattersPool tables range in size from seven to12 feet and come in more than a dozen colours, the most popular being

green and blue. Styles vary according to budget and taste. Some are more traditional, while others are designed to comply with contemporary minimalist interiors.

Pool tables start at about $1700 for a seven-foot slate table, up to about $13,000 for a full-size hardwood table with a slate top and 100 per cent wool cloth. Top-of-the-range tables may seem expensive, but with the correct playing conditions and care they should last for years.

Once you’ve got your table sorted you can go ahead and purchase accessories. Cue racks, balls, lighting and table covers are vital to any pool room.

Bar connectionsPerhaps more important than the table itself is the place where you can watch the play – the bar. If you want to set up a full bar you’ll need to sort out the plumbing and getting electricity to the space. Call in the experts to help out with this.

Position your bar far enough away from the pool table that it won’t cause spillages. Th en shop for cocktail shakers, martini glasses, kitsch little cocktail umbrellas and plenty of wine, beer and spirits. Just remember to always drink responsibly! You don’t want to tear a hole in the cloth the fi rst time you play.

We show you how to bring back the billiards room this summer.

by Jessica Ainscough

Right on cue

On a rollThere’s nothing more irritating than trying to play a game of pool on a table that’s not quite level. So how can you stop you balls from rolling? It’s simple, says Des Mahoney from Billiards Shop, just don’t move your table.

“Once it’s been professionally installed it’s levelled using engineer’s levels,” he says. “Many people playa poor shot and blame the table. They then move the table to try and level it and end up with a roll.

“Anyone who thinks their table isn’t level should use a good quality level over the slate – that will tell them if its level or not.”

A new tradition

Garth Chapman’s Queenslanders feature all the important benefi ts of contemporary layouts, classic fi nishes and signifi cantly reduced

ongoing maintenance due to the latest materials and construction techniques.

Angled timber stairs at the front provide access to an L-shaped verandah, allowing for outdoor family living. Surian cedar-framed French doors, double-hung windows and sliding doors blend perfectly with Heritage colours, Colonial balustrading, decorative corner brackets and window hoods. A small bay window in the master bedroom creates a visual highlight to the facade. Lift ed high on steel stumps topped by curved timber skirt battens, the Georgina has the classic beauty of a Queenslander home.

Inside this well-craft ed house, mixed hardwood timber fl oors team with delicately carved breezeways, colonial arches and dado rails to show off the preference for quality living with a heritage feel.

A full-length, covered rotunda at the back of the home off ers plenty of space to entertain, while the servery window in the kitchen makes food distribution a breeze. Th e corner kitchen, with its vinyl wrap VJ profi le cabinetry, SmartStone benchtops, walk-in pantry and island bench, is more than adequately equipped to service the spacious family/meals room, study and two bedrooms upstairs.

Attractive turned timber balustrading introduces the steps, which lead downstairs. Overhead is a slender fi xed window that throws appealing light onto the passageway down to two more bedrooms, a bathroom, rumpus/media room, a laundry, storage and two-car accommodation. Underneath the upstairs rotunda and fl owing out from the rumpus room is a sandstone-tiled verandah, adding another venue for alfresco living.

Garth Chapman’s classically inspired home offers the best of old and new.

Patch things upA handy new product is making it easier than ever for DIYers to repair those annoying dings in Gyprock walls.

tips and tricks

We all know the scene – the door handle that has slammed into the wall, the down light or

powerpoint fi tting that’s been changed or the horseplay that’s gone astray.

Whatever the cause, there’s a gaping hole or crack in the wall or ceiling and nobody quite knows what to do about it. For such a small job it seems a waste of time and money to call in a professional plasterer, so most people perform a DIY repair job. Plugging the hole with newspaper is a quick fi x, but it never looks the same and always leaves a weak spot that eventually fractures.

But there’s now a new Australian product that aims to make repairing plaster a whole lot easier. Designed and manufactured on the Sunshine Coast by local plasterer Peter Menz, the All-U-Need Plaster Patch is the simple DIY answer to fi xing holes in Gyprock walls.

“It is user-friendly, but gives a professional fi nish and essentially makes the wall new again,” Peter says. “It’s also quick drying so anybody can repair a hole in under an hour.”

Th e Gyprock repairs kit includes everything you need to do a professional job – a patch, template, mudboard, Stanley knife, broad knife, fi rst and second coat compounds, fi nishing topcoat, sander, DVD manual and a trouble-shooting guide. Th e only job that’s left to do is match the paint.

Th e All-U-Need Plaster Patch retails at $39.95 for the smaller door-knob size patch and $49.95 for a larger patch. To order or for further information, see www.plasterpatch.com.au.

Jade: Th is sounds like the perfect space to create an outdoor water feature/pond. Th is could include a central water feature/statue resting in a large goldfi sh pond. First, you'll need to empty the

space and remove the contents of the garden. Th en you'll need to get an electrician in to get power to the area so you can run the

water feature and small lights. Th e area will need to be waterproofed and

re-lined, which a qualifi ed plumber or carpenter could do. Once this is done, fi ll the pond, put in the statue and some goldfi sh (good feng

shui) and enjoy your new statement piece.

It’s like a nice warm smile and smiles are important because they’re the front door of your face. So I’m thinking turn the bricked-in garden into a reptile enclosure. Nothing says ‘bugger off ’ to a bloke who rocks up on a Sunday morning waving a Watchtower magazine in your face like a four-metre python... that’s being cuddled by a saltwater crocodile. Protect your privacy Bryan and your right to the ‘quiet enjoyment’ of your premises. Oh, and by reptile enclosure, I mean ‘semi’ enclosure. No need for total containment, no need to be cruel.

Todd: Hoy there Bry, you're not on your own with the old 'bricked-in' garden debate. My Uncle Mervyn had the same drama in '84. Actually, this reminds me of a joke he told me about a bloke stranded on an island. He'd been there for several months and one day a female

Pretty up your pad without any dramas with this guide to hanging pictures.

Get the most out of your outdoor furniture with a little bit of TLC.

tips and tricks

Hanging your favourite photos and artwork may seem like a simple enough task, but it’s

one that can go horribly wrong if the correct steps aren’t followed. Here’sa quick guide to make sure you get it right the fi rst time.

Tools of the trade:A hammerTape measureCelluloid tapeSpirit level or plumb linePicture hooks or hangers

Step 1Head to the store and purchase hooks or hangers. Be sure to select the correct ones to suit the weight of your picture and the type of wall you’re nailing it to. Standard-size hooks and hangers are

With our fabulous climate here on the Coast, alfresco dining and outdoor entertaining are a way

of life, especially in the summer months. But our hot weather can take its toll on outdoor furniture. Here are a couple of quick tips on how to extend the life of your setting, whatever the material.

PlasticPlastic outdoor furniture is a cheaper alternative. Extend its life by keeping it out of the weather, as direct sunlight and rain will create wear and tear quickly. Quality imported plastics may have a lifespan of about fi ve years, while cheaper imports may only last a couple of seasons outdoors.

AluminiumHigh-grade aluminium furniture is perfect for hot climates. Th e better the grade, the less heat it retains, protecting users from burning themselves if the furniture has been left in the sun. It’s also advised that settings are anodised with a protective coating to prevent rust.

TimberTimber furniture looks great, but it requires the most care. A timber setting should be treated and oiled to extend its life, but it still should never be left outside to brave the elements. Rotting, mould and mildew will eventually destroy your timber setting, regardless of the quality.

Step 4Stick a small piece of celluloid tape over the spot where the nail is to go to prevent plaster chipping or cracking. Place the hook fl at against the wall and carefully hammer in the nail through the tape. Placing two hooks 100 to 150 millimetres apart will prevent a sea-sawing eff ect and will stop your picture looking crooked.

Step 5Adjust the picture with a spirit level or a plumb line to ensure it is hanging horizontally.

available to support weights from 2.25 to 45 kilograms.

Step 2Make sure your picture will hang fl at against the wall by screwing in eye hooks two thirds of the way up the picture frame and stringing a wire across them. Drill small pilot holes into the frame, screw in the eye hooks and then twist wire through one eye hook, stretch across and fi x to the opposite hook.

Step 3Decide on the height and position on the wall where you want your picture to hang. Most look best at adult eye height. Locate a stud behind a plaster wall by using a stud fi nder. Double check you’ve found it by fi rst driving a thin nail through the plaster.

Know thy enemyHow to identify the unwanted weeds in your garden.

tips and tricks

Before you can go ahead and eradicate the weeds from your garden, you need to be able to

recognise them fi rst. Th ere are a few characteristics and growth habits that diff erentiate weeds from regular plants.

Weeds fall into two main groups, monocots plants and dicots plants. It is important that you know these two groups if you are planning to use a chemical (herbicide) to control a particular type. Monocots plants produce one seed leaf when they germinate. Th e leaf is long and narrow, and has parallel veins, like grass. Dicots plants produce two leaves on germinating. Leaves are broad and have a network of veins such as clover.

It’s also important to understand a weed’s growth pattern. Whether a weed grows annually, biennially or perennially can determine whether they should be controlled by either chemical or mechanical means.

Cape weed, winter grass, stinging nettle, chickweed, bindii and petty spurge are all examples of annual weeds. Th ese weeds complete their cycle in one year or less and may have several generations in that year. Th ey should be destroyed before they produce seed.

Biennials should be destroyed in their fi rst season. Th ey have two-year cycles, fl owering and producing seed in the second year. Examples include fennel, Pattersons’ curse and evening primrose.

Perennial weeds are the most diffi cult to destroy. Th ey live more than two years and to be controlled, they must have both their seed and root destroyed. Th e roots (tubers, bulbs and rhizomes) store food and multiply if left in the ground. Couch grass, oxalis, clover, paspalum, dock, nut grass, onion weed, crab, blackberries and carpet grass are prime examples.

imrose.

Generally, weeds all have the same basic traits. Here are some things to look out for when weeding your garden:• V igorous and persistent

growth. Weeds often growand establish themselvesfaster than plants.

• T hey are diffi cult toeradicate.

• T hey propagate easily from roots left lying on the ground.

• Seeds ar e produced quicklyand in large quantities.

• Spr ead seed quicklythrough special dispersalmethods such as burrs.

• Seeds can remain dormantin the soil for many years.
