Is that a cry for help because you live in Canberra

Hi Cameron and Coffee_hmmm
welcome both of you on board.
There have been numerous members who have contributed to the forum from Canberra, such as:
Badkama, brett the brickie, dawngard, Mahootna, and Muscats.
There may be more that have put their home as Australia rather than specifically a town r city.
Do a search of these names within the forum and send each a personal message.

Cheers.

Neill

LOL cry for help? Big time! Although Canberra is just like a small country town with big city amenities it can be deadly boring sometimes.

Thanks Neill will do.

Have been lurking on the forum for a while now but getting serious about the planning. Getting married in October this year, the plan is to start landscaping the backyard at the end of the year and begin the road to pizza heaven.
Interested in finding local suppliers of materials.

Cheers Ken.

Hi

Only just noticed this.

I purchased all my refractory gear from Melbourne firebrick in Dandenong. Very good prices but you need to order ahead. Also very close to Exfoliators who supply vemiculite or pearlite at the right price.

Best if you can take a one tonner or big trailer down to collect.

Come back to me if you want details or further comments.

Regards

Hey Guys,

Been stalking FB for a little while pretty half arsed. Just got some funds for my oven for my 30th Birthday last week so running out of excuses. No trade experience so should be fun
Looking at 36" oven...

First step: Foundation... Been told that 100mm would be thick enough but plans say more like 150mm.
Not sure how much concrete i'll need for 2m x 1.8m slab. Was thinking of easy way out and buy premixed bags from bunnings but now thinking of corkhill Bros and mixing myself due to cost...

Any suggestions would be great. Also once slab is done any info on bricks would be good. Do I just go for Canberra reds? maybe firebricks for the cooking surface...

Cheers,

Tim
