We are having the same problem with our front door. Actually every door that is supposed to be sealed has some sort of leak. Not good in a new estate…

Thanks for the feedback

Hi Brian,
I measured the current riser and it's 130 mm in diameter. Can I get away with the 150 mm IO or do I need to go with the 230…

Thanks CrazyK. Will look into that too.

Hi Brian,
Thank you so much for your advice. I will have a look at both options, but that pre-cast cover and frame look like a much better option. I will…

Hi All,
We recently had a concreter come out to assess and quote our concrete footpath/apron around the house.
We found that the access point for our sewerage has been placed in…

Trust me... I know it's expensive

My bad. Yes should have been done before PCI/Handover. Our's has been cleaned about 3 times now.
As Kate said, we only had the left over bricks we requested, dips…

Might want to edit…

I gotcha. Thanks for clarifying.

Yea…

Chris,
I agree with all your comments bar one. Preparation and decisions on masonry etc don't really change the quality of workmanship. We did lots of research and believe have made…

No worries Joanne. I'm only stating facts
Thank you for your support as always. I will be sure to contact you if I don't receive…

Darbecca have been quite good to us
Building Expert is also highly recommended in this forum and knows his stuff. I haven't used him before though.

We're pretty much in the same boat as you. We have been given an 'unofficial' PCI date from our SS but pretty sure he will stick to it as he…
