Trades tighten as work increases

The availability of skilled tradespeople has worsened across Australia as home building picks up again, a new report has revealed.

The latest HIA Trades Report shows that bricklayers, tilers and carpenters are in highest demand – and so, conversely least available.

Co-buying on the rise

Young first home buyers are teaming up to get on the property ladder sooner, a new study suggests.

NAB data shows that joint home loans to friends or family who are buying together are up over 33 per cent across the past 12 months, with the highest growth reported in Victoria (up 47 per cent), South Australia (37 per cent), and New South Wales (34 per cent).

E-waste: let’s get rid of it

Australia’s recycling efforts have come a long way in the 29 years. Back in 1996, only seven per cent of materials were recycled, amounting to 1.5 million tonnes. Today, that figure has increased to over 60 per cent, with 43 million tonnes recycled.

With National Recycling Week (10–16 November) just around the corner, we thought we’d tackle an ongoing issue that most households are increasingly dealing with – how to recycle e-waste.

Unblock your home, unblock your life

Do you ever feel that nothing really interesting has been happening in your life for a while? Everything is fine, but somehow you are always meeting the same people, eating at the same cafes or restaurants, and work, well, it’s just how it has always been…

According to Feng Shui principles your home represents your life, so if you feel ready for a change, want to meet new people or just feel more alive, maybe it’s time to make some changes around your home.

The money’s on pumpkins

Busy parents who find themselves caught short by Halloween are turning to a Texas entrepreneur for their decorations this year.

Heather Torres and her team at Porch Pumpkins put together pumpkin packages that range from US$325 (AU$495) to upwards of $1,000 (AU$1,524).

"I thought, 'Would someone else spend $1,000 on pumpkins?' And turns out, yes, yes, they would", she told Good Morning America, adding that this year she will be sprucing up more than 1300 homes.

EV batteries turn to fertiliser

With more Australian homes than ever boasting at least one electric vehicle, it’s good to see that researchers have developed a way to recycle old EV batteries into crop and plant fertilisers.

Engineers at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee used resin to replace the lithium ions with hydrogen or potassium ions, allowing more than 90 percent of the lithium to be recovered efficiently for re-use in new batteries, while the leftover solution contains phosphorus and other elements that can be used in fertilisers.
