DIY在澳新,有問有答

有喜歡在家的倒軲DIY的朋友,可以聊聊,當然我也是比較知道這些事,可以交流,也可以ADVICE,這在澳洲是很容易碰到的事,特別是對於有了自己房子的人,修修補補是免不了的,RENOVATIONS也是很正常的.

我很喜歡DIY，也經常向做Builder的朋友請教，但這只是「三腳毛」「半桶水」之類的，成不了大氣。但最近我做了一小段木fence，嘿，比專業的做得還要漂亮，自我崇拜了好幾天！然而，最近就被一件事情難住了。我想將兩層樓的屋檐和雨水槽重新油漆一遍，但離地有6米高，草地也並不是完全水平，4米的梯子要兩個綁起來，而且每漆一小段就要下來移動很重的「雙梯子」。handyman不是拒絕做，就是估價很高。自己做還是出點血？猶豫中。。。

如果自己的房子是二層樓的,家裡還是要備一個EXTENSION LADDER的,6.7M的就夠了. 千萬不要用二把梯子接起來,很危險的.

叫人做一般估價還是挺高的,一般單做你所說的活也要在A$2500左右.

這裡才1400左右，怎麼樣？快搬來吧？

QSL的人工工資要比這裡低些,...因為墨而本缺TRADES,現在想要找人做活的人找不到人,而做活的人也是看人做活的,什麼西臘人,憂太人(做生意的憂太人除外),中國人,新移民,住在不好的區的人的活不接,有時還,不是錢的問題,不是不接,連看都不想去看.

這就是AUSTRALIA,有時手裡有幾個錢也沒用.

my house is two floor, first floor sits on a concret slab, but this slab edge, some of them started to fall apart, and rusty steel exposed.

can you help me out to find a way to stop the rust and patch cement back properly?

thanks!

是不是說CONCRETE SLAB在外角的那部分,如果是CONCRETE SLAB FUNDATION的話,只有在房子外面的有些地方能看到你說的問題,應該是不要緊的問題(儘管是不應該看到RUSTY的).因為實在不能做什麼,如果一定要做點什麼,可刷上1-2遍,CONCRETE SEALER.

slab is between ground floor and first floor. yes it is outside the house. basicly on the edge of that slab.

what is concreat sealer?

dose it stop the rust?

thanks again!

覺得你說的問題不是大問題,CONCRETE SEALER,或CONCRETE BOND都可以,只有上好SEALER后,你才能PATCH UP( 我知道你的問題了,沒有什麼結構問題,你只是想把它搞的好看些), PATCH UP可以用TWO PART FILLER,干后可沙平,然後用室外用的漆,漆2度即可.

thanks again, but do you think I have to try to stop the rust first (like apply some special agent on to the rusty and exposed steels)
or just apply the concrete sealer straight on to the rusty steel and concrete aside.

you may use a steel brush, rubbing of all rust first-- dont use oil to get rid of the rust as some people may do, then apply some anti rusting agent--tin stuff, call gavenailed(?spelling). after all done, cement seal it to match with the surrounding colour

我的車庫有一面牆是用水泥磚砌的， 常滲水，我想用外牆防水油漆刷外牆， 不知什麼牌子好？ 特此請教各位大蝦

channels and empty hand,  someone told me it is called concrete cancer which means almost impossible to cure, is that true?

channels：gavenailed(?spelling).

我也試了幾下，沒有拼出來，沒有辦法，只能下樓找到鐵釘盒來看。。。正確的拼法是：Galvanised

居然是電鍍的意思，我只知道是防綉鐵釘，又學了一個字。唉，我確實太較真了。。。呀，還沒有去看漩渦的方向！

oh it is like those metals panels on two side of freeway... right?

to stop water suck from ground got to use damp control, 100 mm above ground (insert PVC like bag with cement into the gap of bricks, of cause you have to saw old shit out first) ..

the house of my roof is about 40 ys young, years of weathering made those ceramic roof tiles craked, I have changed some, but I cannot petrol the roof everyday, therefore I am thinking of do something about it once for all.

there is two option, change all the roof tiles or roof restoration

change all the tiles are little expensive for me now.

but the roof restoration is really going to work? or just can give me few years' peace?

問題:我的前園有一塊地硬是長不出草,播了三次種,長出來不到二個星期又死光光了,難到只有買草皮回來一條路? 就那麼五平方米,旁邊的都可以

重新鋪新瓦之前會在屋頂結構上鋪一層厚塑料布，這能基本保證以後即使下大雨，有雨水進入瓦片底下后，也不至於漏到屋頂的石膏板上。所以從這個方面來看，不會只是幾年的平安，會是相當長一段時間。。。

不知你現在在下大雨的時候有沒有漏水現象？如果沒有，為什麼要換瓦？如果只是換破損的瓦片，建議你用質量好一點的，而不是原來那些幾十年前建房時留下來的備用瓦。。。
