It can be used for both walls and ceiling, pretty much a glue you put between plasterboard sheets.

You should probably consider checking out Green Glue solution with 2-3 layers of 16 mm plasterboard

Ouch... This is really unlucky, but hopefully insurance will reimburse. Would you consider propping unfinished walls in the future?

he is telling 100-120 kg max I would limit max load to 200 kg and probably his chords are at…

I would have just put a couple of 3m 90x45s on top of your bottom chords and attach the swing to them.
If your chords are at 600 mm, then…

I used Wondershare eDrawMax

110 mm solid brick wall with render is not really performing very well acoustically (it provides STC of around 45-48 depending on the thickness of render). A bit better in…

With such movement you might probably be better off by simply replacing 300 cm of soil with compacted gravel and sand and then going for 250 mm flat reinforced slab…

Yes, vacuum glazed performs pretty much as good as your typical brick veneer wall (after you consider thermal bridging produced by the frame and gaps in insulation).

Vapour permeable wraps are recommended for any climate and main thing that it allows walls to breath (i.e. remove water vapour), while, at the same time, provides protection from the…

Why don't you give a call to XCEM guys and ask them to give you addresses of some houses/customers who installed it?

Probably Hebel or XCEM Alpha flooring will provide you even more solid feel?

I had couple of quotations from pre-covid times, I am quite sure they are more expensive now plus with current USD rate and shipping costs it makes them really unaffordable…

Yes, I went through couple of importing exercises for my business plus with post covid inflation and current currency rates and then with so many reliable local vendors offering flatpacks…

Seriously was considering this option, but do not forget that you would have to pay a lot on top for the container delivery and unloading, customs clearance, GST and custom…

Yes, makes 100% sense.
How deep and long are your floor joists? Do you use any prefabricated ones?

Well, in the end of the day, you can always give them a call and check? These moneys should have been already allocated as part of the original arrangement, so…

Too bad to hear that Simeon. Can't you just request money from their bank?

Hi Simeon,
Have you ever considered spray on waterproofing for concrete?
This is much faster to apply than traditional stuff and protects concrete for life.
e.g.

Looks nice! It really looks like a lot of concrete has been used. I think $303 is really fair for the slab of this complexity.

How high are the drop edge beams on this one and how do you plan to tackle the suspended section?

I see. What is $ per sqm cost for the waffle pod slab like this these days?

Yes, makes sense this way.

Hi Simeon, so it is not a rafted slab I thought you have planned originally? Looks like waffle to me

Depending on the windows, but some of them can be really sound proof to make a difference. E.g. I have triple glazed windows and even if you keep shouting right…

Alternatively, you can just put together a 220V provision and then wire driver directly to it.
Why to pay for extra outlet?
You would still need to have a light switch…

The builder should be organising it as part of the site works. It will involve excavator + dump truck to get rid of the soil.

It is normal and pretty standard

I would probably definitely consider contrasting out garage door (e.g. light ash would look great) and make downpipes and fascia same colour as your walls, not as your roof.
I…

Silt and clay are not self-draining, so they are not really facilitating the removal of water from the soil under the slab, and, therefore, if site is not maintained properly,…
