Having no gutters in northern Australia might also be because of the cyclone risk.

You can also get soft close cupboard doors too.

Easements aren't as scary as we think, and depending on the block size might have no impact on the build itself. It might impact any plans for a pool though.…

The offer went unconditional before they started questioning it, so their motivations are unclear.
We have legal representation waiting in the wings if it comes to it, hopefuly they are just…

I hope nothing. But does the council and corpooration actually conduct their own surveys to ensure everything is positioned correctly?

On our property contract, the site plan with easement details were signed off by the purchaser as a matter of disclosure.
Sometimes easements can be relinquished though, but remain on…

Hi
We built a house in 2007 in WA, in January we put it on the market where an offer was made and accepted. Now the buyers are wanting a survey…

Is this valuation for the construction loan? To my knowledge they value it as a 'completed build' at this stage, so the data you should be looking at would be…

A valuation conducted by a licensed valuer is worth the paper it is written on. An 'appraisal' by any Joe Bloe, namely real estate agents, are not.

Congratulations, it looks like fun.
The first thing I'd do is remove the shutters next to the windows. Are the windows themselvs a 'wood' frame or red (can't quite tell?). If…

Yes they were custom made, by memory they were about $400 per window.

We have similar sidelights in our investment property but we do have shutters on the windows.

We also have a tint on our bifolds where the visibility is hindered by giving…

Thanks everyone, it seems we have to remove a glorious tree if we're going down the brick route, and since we don't want to, it'll be pickets all the way…

We're wanting to replace our front fence. Are there any hoops you must jump through to build one re council. It won;t be a block fence, more pillars with…

Like those zinc letters?
Try icietla.com.au under accessories, it says numbers are available.

To get a shower to fit, you could combine the wc and make one big bathroom? But I don't know what the lesser of two evils is, a separate wc…

Hey Annie,
Great aren't they.
We bought ours through a local nursery who sourced them from Tankworks. ( tankworks.com.au) They're made from Colorbond so come in all their coloursplus…

We've ordered colorbond tanks like above.

I was surprised how reasonably they were priced, particularly when comparing to the time and labor to install raised sleeper beds. They come in lots…

I live is the shire that did remove the work these guys did. As I drove past on the day it happened , I said to my husband how I…

We were about to start...then it started, the rain that is.
I'll be getting my blog sorted, have been lurking on yours…

Try eurowalls.com.au, my current favourite though is
mymunchkinhome.com.au for their wall decals.

Hey Southies
There is a blind place in Kirrawee that sells spare parts. It's on Flora Street (near the corner of Bath Rd), the name escapes me and although it looks…

Yay Southies.

Say whaaaat Southies! Only $5,800? We've been slugged $8,800.

We had the round handles when our first build (in Perth) was at lock up, it wasn't until near completion that they changed them over to our chosen lever handles.…

Aren't they called mitred edges, where they cut the tile edge at 45 degrees?
I think you have to specify it (and it'll cost you too)

I found a picture

Looks gorgeous.

I remember seeing coloured glass walls instead of tiles throughout a bathroom. Does anyone have or considered having it?
Having no grout certainly appeals to me.

I do like them but agree that the timber legs would clash with your floor. Also the seat looks too top heavy (in that photo at least) and seems to…
