Reno - under the gun.

I know a fantastic tiler if you want to get one in. He has done work for a few bbers.

Toilet and laundry just cost us $350.

Grays home Reno auctions every 2nd Tuesday. But may need to spend 5 hours there. They also tend to sell in bulk lots but u can always eBay leftovers or sometimes other bidders there wil offer to buy some excess from you. Really is worth a day out. Cheltenham I think is where they are.

We have done really well with Grays online also - they may have some buy now stuff also listed.
Previously have also used Swan St Auctions (but they are really a sales only place, lol) in Richmond with great basics at a very basic price for bathroom/kitchen refits.
Carpets - Fowles Carpets Auction/Sales (once again sales only) they also did a great job/price on laying the carpet too. We got Stainmaster in 3 rooms plus hall for half the price quoted by other retailers.
Curtains and blinds - have had great experiences with Spotlight before with custom hollands and some standards.
Good luck!

I can't believe I forgot about Grays!!!

This is brilliant - thank you all for your help. I'm starting TODAY!

What about Gumtree? There are a few in the area.

Freecycle is another one to check out. The Grey Army also have retired Tradies that do work and are apparently very reasonably priced.

Off to Swan street today!!!
