The aspire kitchen and in fact the whole living area will be sooo dark.
Which way is north?

Rangehood ducts and vents
Yep that's a "stink pipe" or sewerage vent pipe.
The rangehood vent will be a large 100mm roof cowl.
The problem is more likely to be the actual rangehood.
Unfortunately to get adequate…

Help! Split system letting in bushfire smoke
Hi Ren
You will find that RC air cons are closed systems ie that don't take air from outside just recirculate the air inside the house while passing it through an…

Help, can I get rid of this ?
I'd say it's a plumbing IO. It's capped so it's not a relief gully and they are typically next to the house anyway.
You shouldn't really cover these over. They are…

Hi Lucy
Are you after exposed aggregate?

New roof tiles acceptable install?
You can see what the issue is. In the photo below the closest truss is sitting over the top plate thus raising the height. The tilers could have packed their…

Hi sunny
It's good that you've had some movement on your issue.
Can I ask who it was that ended up getting the insurers in?

Hi Sunny
The only thing I don't understand about that is that the carpenters that framed up the house would have used the floor plan for all dimensions. I'm assuming that…

Floating Table help

And, it's an extremely expensive mistake or deviation so I would expect whoever is responsible will fight it tooth and nail to not have to rectify it or will just…

Yep. Walls to pantry are built wrong.
If you can get to the bottom on who did it or approved it you will have the answer as to who to go…

It all comes back to the walls of the butler's pantry.
They are built in the wrong place and it's all flowed from there.

There should only be one set of approved working drawings that have been signed off and form the…

Recessed sliding door is flushed to internal floor slab
You are correct. It's just the fins on the sliding door that get trimmed.
Ultimately you should not be able to see the edges of the tile. For the OP the…

Narrow block worthwhile?
Our block is 10m so our garage door is 5 and garage is 6m wide.
We initially tried for a slightly wider door but they absolutely wouldn't budge.

We are in COS.
Just finished our OB on a 10x43 block.
