New Ad Partner – Much More Relevant Links

Posted on by — Leave a reply

If you have been visiting this site recently you would have noticed that there were links from various keywords in the articles. Unfortunately I found that almost most of these links did not have anything to do with renovating, which made them pretty useless to you guys reading this site.

I have since signed up with Kontera Advertising, and after a bit of testing I am a lot more satisfied with the results that they are delivering. These links actually seem to be very relevant to home renovation and remodeling.

Sorry about the useless links during the last two weeks. From now on I am going to be testing partner products a bit better before implementing them.

Moving the Electrical Switchboard on our Queenslander

Moving the Electrical Switchboard to the FrontOur original switchboard used to sit under our house attached to one of the bearers. Since the house has been lifted it was too high to read the meter box also with the house being enclosed the meter boxes needed to be moved outside anyways.

It was a bit of a process to get the box installed and moved as the electrician and the builder had to coordinate their time so that the wall was there, but not fully cladded when the switchboard was moved.

The meter box needs to be a certain distance from the front of the house, so for us that meant sticking the switchboard right in the middle under the front staircase. Thankfully the box can be painted, as right now it’s pretty out there, and hopefully that will help it to blend it better.
