Would love to know what kind of insulation you chose, and why? Also, what your internal wall diameter is - our walls are going to be something like 9cm so…

Good luck with your plans, the long thin house design sounds like it will suit your long, thin block. I also did most of my pricing from the bunnings website,…

Yes my council was the same, with our greywater going from our caravan into a greasetrap and then into a gravel-filled trench.
