Then why not ask your joiner to get them for you.

Can't find anything like that in the link, but is there any reason you need them to slide out that way? IKEA have good solutions that I bet will be…

If you are considering replacing the blinds then consider honeycomb/cellular blinds as they actually provide a level of insulation (up to R1.0 I am told). Something else you might consider…

Have you actually mapped the travel of the sun at different times of the year? There is an app for that.
The North part is good, provided you have eaves that…

We went with charcoal tiles on the floor in the ensuite, bathroom, toilet and laundry, but they are different shape in each (well, common in the toilet and laundry). I…

Manufacturer - tell them that for the first six months of the warranty the heater wasn’t used. The builders warranty can’t outstrip the warranty provided for the items installed in…

Well, it had to be installed at some point, and before it was installed, it was bought and paid for. You could ask the same question about the toilet, the…

You do! But in truth, there is no gap. If the heating had a problem a day, a week or a month after it was installed it would be covered…

It depends on how much efficiency and what "look" you are trying to achieve. You already have single glazed and live in Sydney, which is pretty temperate, so if you'd…

From perspective of the heating supplier the warranty would start on the invoice date.

Are the windows more than single-glazed?

Could you not just use the same insulation product between the slabs?

Thanks for your comments StructuralBIMGuy, but you have entirely missed the point of my original post.

Anyone watching on Foxtel in Australia or Netflix in the US? I'm two episodes in and the thing that strikes me is many of these extraordinary houses could never…

My top tip for anyone building, renovating or just interested in their home is to pick through this little known Government website. It is awesome, and there is certainly much…

There is always someone willing to take your money, but you can consider much of this yourself if you are inclined and have the time.

With that amount of rot there would next to no thermal integrity in those frames. Personally I would opt to replace the windows altogether, and while doing so upgrade to…

My advice is start with a design brief.

Certainly worth it if your seals a worn or cracked. You can easily do it yourself if you can use a screwdriver. Here are some options that may provide you…

Thought that too, but it’s not necessarily the case.

We recently had to pull a few wall tiles off at our new build because of a problem. Waterproofing was given 24 hour before re-tiling. However, if it was in…

Yes, that’s what I would do - someone who is a plumber and gasfitter. Perhaps ring Dux and ask them who their service agent is in your area, then they…

Great, but what is it boosted by? Gas or electricity? If gas, then I think there is something wrong with the settings of your current system, as it should fire…

Just want to confirm - you currently have an electric hot water system and want to convert to gas boosted solar hot water system? If that is correct, have you…

That seems a reasonable troubleshooting approach, but just be mindful that the water may take some time to travel behind the tiles. Be that as it may, you do not…

How do you know it is from that tile in the corner and not just leaking under the shower screen?

You might want to read before proceeding.

You could easily make up something like that using a pendant light and a bracket. You'd just need an electrician to re-wire it.

Wouldn’t the shed still be covered under the build insurance? If so, then you just need to insure the contents.

Start the relationship well. Just honestly tell them your situation.
