That would be your choice. I have no idea what you plan on putting in the spaces so can't tell you one way or the other. Obviously adjustable gives you…

Correct.
External the eaves will sit on top of the window frames, internally there will be 3 courses to the ceiling.
Those details are from our house. We went with 28c windows…

With standard 28 course ceilings you have 25 course windows. With 31 course everything including the eaves is shifted up around 250mm
This detail is a 31 course ceiling with 28…

This plan depicts why the eaves are usually 3 courses below ceiling height on a standard width eave.
A normal 28 course ceiling would have eaves at 25 course so lifting…

Technically speaking the variation is part of the contract. So as Pedro said, until the variation is paid the contract is still in place.

Did you try Stratco

I should add that the laws are around the old style manufactured stone. If you are using one of the new silica free tops then fabrication is still allowed, however…

Have you considered fixing a 50x50 galv angle along the bottom of the bearer to act as a ledger for the joists to sit on and then just bugle screwing…

Technically speaking you didn't pay for the stone offcuts. You paid for a kitchen benchtop of the colour and specifications listed in your contract. The cabinet maker has supplied that…

This is the one issue I have with what you have said. Most water outlets are installed behind the cistern. That is standard because it looks all neat.

The whole intention of owner building is so a person can build a single dwelling that they intend to live in.
That's why there are certain rules around what you…

Absolutely. It's an enormous issue in the building industry. I'm amazed at the people who can get builders licences (and keep them) without the apparent skills and experience.
The trades they…

If a builder requested cash for payment so as to avoid GST that should have rung alarm bells instantly.
And the fact that you were prepared to do it so you…

Firstly you can definitely reset the Samsung lock back to factory settings and then reprogram it with your own codes. It's on YouTube.
Police aren't going to get involved, it's a…

As they say, possession is 9 tenths of the law.
You have possession of the house so it's harder for him at this point.
If you have the physical keys I'd…

Personally, it's not the end of the world. Yes it could have been trimmed evenly top and bottom but many doors, particularly older mortice and tenon doors had a larger…

Beautiful thing with the shelf/recess lintel is you just use maxi's so standard brickwork. All the brickies and roofers in Perth are used to this style so there is nothing…

In Perth even with a single brick wall you often run a shelf lintel through 4 courses below plate height and they run between the piers and are site welded…

What size bearers and what size joists?

Hi mate. Technically it's impossible to repair the waterproof membrane correctly in this situation as the WPM is meant to be continuous and obviously will now have breaks where they…

Essentially any first home buyer can buy a block and then build a house exactly the same as you plan to do but somehow you will have to sell yours…

Welcome to the forum.
The first thing I'd say is make sure that you consider all the costs before you embark on a project hoping to make money in the short…

Hi Mandy
I haven't used royal beige, but just a little heads up. You don't have to keep posting the same post multiple times. I know you would like an…

Yes I understand that you have grievances that are fair enough. It sounds like they have been very difficult to deal with.
Ultimately you…

But in all fairness if you didn't inform them at prestart that you needed the stop valve in an accessible position, but only informed them during construction then that is…

Was all of this confirmed with the builder at pre Strat and noted on the plans? At what point did you tell the builder you were going to be using…

We had a F&P in our last house for 7 years before we sold and it worked faultlessly. My parents purchased the same model on our recommendation and it's still…
