The distance from the HWS causes the delay but whether the tap is water flow restricting or not affects the length of the delay.

We had a Rinnai 20 on our last build in 1997 and it was still going strong when we sold in 2010.
On our new build we got a Rinnai 26…

We received a land tax bill for $1,000 on the block we were building our new home on and we owned no other property. It had a capital value of…

We would not build a house without ducted vaccuumimg and a Vacsweep. It is actually not that expensive and does a really good job.

Here is what my cupboard looks like.

Fan at the top.

Not worried about it in the least as the duct has a 15m run between the ceiling and the second story floor and finishes with an upside down j before…

I have everything in a cupboard including a HTPC, router, network switch, 3 amps, 2 foxtel boxes, a pvr and a bluray.
I have an outlet at the top of the…

Ours was a 2 year journey.
1 year for planning and getting appropriate approvals etc and another year to build and landscape etc.
Thankfully it is all over now!

For that particular fridge (Samsung SRF801GDLS) 90cm won't be enough. They are 908mm wide and you need a bit of space on each side. We went for 1000mm.
Also watch out…

We used a stone benchtop and compact laminate for the cupboards etc.

As it was explained to me the indoor units move 600-700 m3 of air. Over the BBQ there is a lot more smoke etc and the Outdoor BBQ units you…

I think it is necessary to have a rangehood in the Alresco.
Have a look at our thread to see what we did.
However the rangehoods for BBQ's are quite expensive as…

I looked into this and it was quoted $30k + so I didn't go any further

Upper living is 110 sqm and lower living is 220sqm. Cost was just under $23k with two controllers for the upstairs unit ( for upstairs there is a controller upstairs…

We went the whole hog and put in two units. One 12.5/14.9 Kw for the smaller upstairs and a 14.5/16.3 Kw for the larger downstairs.
It was obviously a bit…

We have the in ceiling speakers in 10 rooms and the alfresco and rock speakers by the pool.
We have only been in for 3 months but they are all getting…

I have had no adverse consequences and am now in the new house with the phone line connected. Check with your demolisher and see what they say.

For electricity you need to go through your retailer who organise the utility to abolish the electrcity supply by removing the electricity meter and cable.
For telephone I didn't call anyone…

Our builder was happy with our build and we are happy with the final result so he had some photos taken to put on his website here;

Thanks DCT we are very happy with how it has all turned out.

Hi Cherub,
After going through lots of display homes etc we were looking for a builder with the SS look and quality but not the accompanying price and we ended up…

This is what we did with our Alfresco and outdoor kitchen.

I purchased it through my A/V cabler but this is what it is and where they got it from.

It wasn't cheap!

Before anyone can answer your question you need to determine what your needs are with respect to audio and video distribution and data and home automation. It will also depend…

It is much better having two as less water is wasted waiting for all the cold water in the pipe to be pushed out when you turn the HW tap…

We installed 2 HWS. One for the ensuite on one side of the house and one for the kitchen, laundry and upstairs bathroom on the other side of the house.…
