So we had the builders painter here fixing up some stuff after our 6 month maintenance and we asked him about the walls. Apparently the painter we hired thinned…

Should have mentioned the tiles are the standard 200*200 size so we did not expect any problems (our ensuite ones were larger and we were told this can create problems).

We have a new house and have mentioned to the builder on numerous occassions that the kids bathroom floor does not drain well when water is spilt onto the floor.…

We have not sorted the problem and yes we live in Perth so any names of inspectors would be great.
We have also since noticed in one room where the wall…

Our understanding is that the Ultima requires some specialist training - so it may be a reason for an installer to try discount the Ultima as an option. Based…

Unfortunately we threw away the empty cans that were left. We can confirm the top coat was Dulux professional as we remember those cans. From memory he said he used…

2-3 months after painting we used painting masking tape and it pulled paint off around skirting when tape removed (after this we found that spot applying various strength painting tapes…

Hi All,
Can anyone recommend some installers for Actron in Perth, preferably NoR. Looking for approx a 20kW system with 8 zones, with individual temperature control for each zone.

Ash, thanks for your comments. We are probably a little late for the builder to change any of the floor levels as tiling of the wet areas is all underway.…

Thanks Michelle, we have requested a few samples so will see how we go.

We thought we had made up our mind on installing blackbutt (prior to build starting) in the house but now undecided and are thinking about Karndean but not sure what…

Hi All,
We have just started looking at choosing our flooring for our new home. At this stage we are favoring the vinyl plank option (eg Karndean) , but upon researching…

Hi,
Does anyone know the standards for the connection from the street gas run to the house gas meter. Our new house that is being built has the gas come in…

Thanks onc_artisan
The Super didn't get back to me on Friday, hopefully he'll call back tomorrow.

Thanks for the welcome Jody
We'll be talking to the Builder today on a number of issues and update here on how we go.

Hi,
Our slab went down today, and a few showers went through when the pad was just about finished. Does anyone think we may have any problems with the slab…

We are going with the Tunisian Stone but have not started building yet. It is fairly new I think.
Good luck making a decision

I like it in the colour pictured but partner wants in laminate - what do you think?
Thanks

Photobucket was set to make the image smaller as well, so have made bigger. Hope you can see now.

I knew when my DH changed the size it would not appear properly but he thinks he knows best on computers.
It is a scanned image - how can I make…
