If they don't need to be completely separate and you are happy to interact, many two storey homes could be modified. A lot of designs with all bedrooms upstairs have…
joles posted:What colour is this?
The cladding looks like colorbond Paperbark or similar.
I'm not good with browns, but it looks a couple of shades lighter than colorbond Jasper and it could be one of dozens…
joles posted:Wall hung toilet
With an in wall cistern? We have two of these and we've never had any problems with them. We were apparently the last build through with our builder to have…
joles posted:Laundry sliding door or not?
That door is west facing but the room delves get enough light. The door is double glazed with an internal venetian blind which is great for killing the western sun…
joles posted:Laundry sliding door or not?
We have a full length bench and a hinged door. I wouldn't have a sliding door for two reasons, it would be an absolute PITA to clean it if it's…

Finally! A pic from when we were building. Solver black!
joles posted:Dark chocolate Solver Exterior stain colour?
There is Solver Black and that is what we have used on our front doors, ensuite doors and bi- folds. It was the darkest stain available but it does not…

In fairness to the neighbour, they may also have been unsure it was an actual theft. Plenty of trades coming and going, removing things that may not be quite right.…

We have a deep khaki green splashback, Dulux Army Issue. I love it, one of my favourite things in the house.
joles posted:Help identify this plant
It looks like a grass tree, xanthorrhoea. I am a complete novice though, so I may well be way off the mark.
joles posted:dislike selections?
Been in three years and still hate my vanity selection. Fantastic in two bathrooms, a powder room and part of the laundry. Also in our kitchen the two colours don't…
joles posted:Peruvian clay
If you do a quick search of posts by Jo K I'm pretty sure she used Peruvian Clay from memory and there should be some pics floating around.

I'm not sure about NSW, but in Vic that is not entirely true. We built on slope so we were careful to check about water…
joles posted:Quick growing temporary screen
That's lovely looking. Is it faster growing than the dodonea I already have in? I know that is fast growing but mine seems to be taking it's time.

The lining under the eaves? I think it's called soffit or something? My technical term for it is " the stuff under the eaves"!

joles posted:fascia colour help
I'd definitely go with the lighter render. It will work in well with your mortar and give a lovely contrast to your bricks.
I'd probably stick with Monument for the fascia.…
joles posted:Porter Davis homes
neilrosh, I'm curious about the extra wall bracing for the tiles. We have the same tiles on our floor and walls, 300 x 600 porcelain, so quite heavy tiles and…

No help with replacing the roof, but don't just dump the roof tiles no matter how ugly they are. If they are terracotta you'll be able to sell them. People…

I think the simple answer is to set a budget that you are comfortable with, and a maximum point you will go to (to give a little wiggle room) then…

The position itself isn't weird, both the middle of the bath or the end are acceptable positions. The fact it is a fixed spout would bother me. I'd end up…

You're right Deemaree. I apologise. I will head over to the Kyndylan thread where the appropriate tone for this forum prevails.
