Is the wall tiles too? If so, I'm not sure how this could have been done without breaching the waterproofing.

I beg to differ. It can be a wall point if you want it to be.

You are not going to get the right answer here unless by luck. It very much depends on your particular equipment and setup, and unless you can explain that in…

You could get them privately certified.

It's not a whole unit - the two appliances are separate- and you only mentioned that the cooktop was playing up. Therefore, unless you can afford to replace both, just…

I have bought a monitoring kit from efergy (http://efergy.com/au). It was reasonably inexpensive and it looks good from the marketing, but I have not installed it yet so do not…

True. I've been in both places and have made my choice. This particular discussion started because of the use of the word "proper". I think the conclusion has been drawn…

Wasn't always an Apple person. Used Windows and other OSes for over twenty years, and worked hard to create a unified ecosystem around those and aligned products. However, since buying…

Have had three Harmony remotes and they were barely adequate. Yes, they can be setup to control multiple devices, but when one didn't respond it messed up the sequence and…

JoBro, you're using the term proper in a way that suggests every other setup is not proper, so therefore wrong. While I can see…

@JoBro:
1. You clearly have a lot of money and time on your hands. I couldn't even imagine installing all that stuff let alone doing the research to get there.
2. What…

Depends. If evenly spaced, then one at 1m and the second at 2m, that leaves 1m at each end and 1m in between. However, that may not suit your aesthetic,…

Is this owner-occupier or for investment? Especially if the latter, why make any adjustments. This is precisely the project builders' business model and by making changes you are playing into…

Well, not sure that I would be so quick to call for someone's job, but I'd certainly look at who signed your occupancy certificate and start there.

Extraordinary. Isn't the council or private certifier engaged by the council expected to check compliance with the Basix requirement?

We tried to do the same, but it is not exact. While you can decide to have no sun from the beginning of summer and start getting sun at the…

Exactly.

To mangle a common saying, premium is in the eye of the beholder. The double-glazed windows in our home are coming in at around $150K. Provided they meet your efficiency…

These are questions for your Council. Make an appointment to go and speak with them before you potentially get some wrong information set in your mind from here.
With respect to…

Sorry, I have no idea. Where I live all basil died some time ago from cold.

Ours is 1195 on the plans.

I'm surprised you can't lift the tiles without lifting the bedding layer. Is the bedding layer so brittle?

Where do you live?

Bottom floor can be a problem due to access to route the extra wires because the ceiling is often attached to the joists. If your builder can at least pre-drill…

I think the alarm is set up to only work when the occupants are outside of the house.

We are building a bespoke architect designed house, so we pick exactly what we want. I think, however, the idea with a volume builder is that they manage to keep…
