House Extension Reno

Does anyone have experience/advice about how much it would cost to do a 2-3m extension off the back of this house (kitchen extension)?

It’s a 2 story house in NSW. The bottom floor is a shed area, the desired extension is for the second level.

Digital Keypad Replacement

I bought a second hand safe and the digital keypad doesn’t work because of corrosion. Is it replaceable? It would be very handy to have a digital entry.

NSW Shotguns

What would be your choice of shotgun under $1200 for medium sized game (fox, pig)?

I know there have been some changes with pump action and straight pull rifles/shotguns. What is left that is worth it?

NSW PTA

Hey everyone,

I think I remember seeing somebody post about the firearms registry automating the PTA process?

Does anyone have any updated information on whether new PTA’s should be processed quicker?

Gun Safe

What is everyone’s thoughts on this gun safe? I don’t plan on having a large collection at least in the next 3 years and I could get a bigger one.

What is a good arrangement for physio’s being paid on a commission/contractor basis? What percentage? How much is your take home after tax, super, etc? What revenue do you make? Do you do sole trader or company structure? Thanks in advance!

Home Battery System

I use 15kWh in low months and 25kWh in high months. I have a townhouse and I considering a 25kWh battery to reduce my energy costs by loading up in the “Solar Sharer” hours and in the low cost hours.

I want to avoid solars because of strata issues.

Has anyone done this and is it more economical?

Raising Lambs

I’m interested in raising a small number of lambs, but I don’t own any land myself. I’m looking for somewhere with a bit of paddock/yard space that would be willing to take some cash in exchange for keeping a few animals or somewhere that’s already offering agistment. I’d provide or pay for feed etc.

Where would be a good place to start looking?

I live in Newcastle, but I’d be open to locations anywhere around the Newcastle, Maitland, or Hunter Valley region.

Best CZ 457

I want to mostly do target shooting at the range but will likely do some small game shooting in the bush. It’s my first firearm but I think I’ve been convinced of the CZ 457. Which model would be most accurate for target shooting but still alright for taking into the forest?

Best Tent Options

I have been using a Kings Big Daddy swag for a couple of years and it completely sucks. It’s always leaking.

I know it’s not a great brand but it was cheap. I now have a toddler aged child who I want to take camping and I think a tent would be much better. Obviously I don’t need a grumpy toddler and a leaking tent, so I want some pretty bulletproof options.

What would you be choosing?

I have found a Stihl WoodBoss 025 for sale. It seems as though it is from the late 90’s - early 00’s.

Is it a smart purchase in 2026? Would I be better buying a budget entry level chainsaw e.g. ms172 for around the same price, despite it being a smaller saw?
