Before we start the work, we had an extremely long quotation period - around 2 months - before we pick this guy. 

One of them, the trader's wife gave a quote that's about 10% cheaper than others, but when we took day off from work, the guy turned up and say no that would need at least $500 extra, blur blur blur - what a rip off and of course didn't proceed - cheapest is certainly not always the best! Also a young guy who's a climber - came in a heavily modified fancy car, but unfortunately not insured/licensed. Another one in nice UTE, insured and licensed, but asking for extremely ridiculous price, ....etc. Finally decided on a medium price one, but feels nice and genuine when he gave quote, most importantly, he provides the quote in writing, and of course licensed and insured.

"Weepguard Brick Vent" available in Bunnings

Happy New Year every one!



Saw this "Weepguard Brick Vent" available in Bunning's catalog, this is certainly much better than the Weephole vermin I used. But it's not cheap and not sure if can be done by D-I-Y. It would be also be an extra cost if you want your brick layers to install one of this nicely in every weep hole - so make sure you double check with the builder about the extra cost plus the quantity of this Weepguard you need to order.
