Hi Jazz
I think many of us thought the same thing. The house seems so small, when only the slab has been done. We though the same, but once…

Welcome to the group, and all the fun of building your new home. When I first started asking prices, I asked about GST. All quotes and pricing…

I also built a merbau deck at a previous home. It bled for about two months, and then stopped once I sealed the deck. I think that is…

We have two zones. You can run either or both. The system is big enough to run both. We have the anti con insulation under the roof,…

HI Jazz
Our place is about 28 sqm. We used the basic unit as supplied. It worked great on some very hot days in Feb. Now doing a…
