Anything will work provided the engineering is sound and you are prepared to pay the cost.

Quarzite (not Quartz!) benchtop overhang...
Why a pedestal? Surely you could use steel cantilevers and sit the stone slab on top of that?

Paint scratched off doors
You could patch paint them, but you would be hard pressed to exactly match the colour, and the preparation you would need to do would make the area bigger. Also,…

Flooring ideas. Not sure weather floorboards would be to muc
I've owned two Queenslander with VJ walls, timber ceilings and floorboards. It was not too much timber, but unlike your situation, only the floorboard were not painted, so that would…

Grout Colour for Tiles
White grout will give you a more subdued and traditional look, while black grout will stand out and look more dramatic. However, in my experience, while white grout might get…

Not weird. I actually wish we would have done that because when you go to close the doors, you trap all the insects sitting on the screen inside the house,…

Internal floor tiles flush with stacker door track
Our wet areas are flush with adjacent floors (carpet and timber) and the underlying slab in those locations was stepped down so that the tiler could achieve an appropriate fall…

Internal floor tiles flush with stacker door track

What does this landscape plan mean?
That doesn’t look like a landscape plan to me, but a site plan, which would have an entirely different purpose than what you are looking for. Is there something I…

Damage to flooring - liabilities and costs
Firstly, I doubt that would be the case if it can be proven they were fully informed and signed the contract understanding what they were signing. Secondly, legal action is…

DIY dinning table ends up wobbly
To be honest, based just on this image, I don’t think you would get much purchase with just 18mm thick timber. Personally, I would use something 40-50mm thick to get…
