Ticking Noise Inside A Wall
Hope that finds the cause. With our house the ticking would 'never' be heard at night, it was only during changes in temperature during the day but it wasn't…

Not sure of current…

Interior and kitchen paint colours for new build.
Initially I didn't see GrandPiano as being really green, just a very slight tinge, but nothing more. That is, until I went to choose bedroom carpet which I wanted…

GrandPiano Half was the choice in the last house, but it turned out quite green, so with that in mind I chose Antique White USA (full) in the current house…

Flu vent on roof
Not trying to be pedantic, but 'normal everyday gas' doesn't exist, it's either LPG or NG...there are others too but these are the most common and I didn't want to…

How to split levels
It's bright because I hate dark houses.
Don't disregard reflective light, interior colours, furnishings etc make a whole lot of difference.
An upside down layout would be a personal choice but…

How to split levels
Have to agree with Leona in that the house is better if it 'fits' the block, rather than the other way around.
With a wedge shaped block don't forget you…

Have you thought about a dishdrawer? Afaik, they are still 600mm wide (same as most d/w's) but can be set lower or higher than regular bench height.
They can be…

Exterior colour scheme help for modest Californian Bungalow
Grey in all shades is passed it's use-by date (hooray!!) so I would suggest something new and exciting.
The white walls might need a light pressure wash to refresh them, then…
