Would this work if I fill up the whole planter box with it?

So there is no need to add Zeolite and Bentonite?

I do have some soil(sand with rubble) on site but they won't be enough. The bottom of the planter box is just sand. The concrete footing surrounds the planter box…

Why not just put in a conduit or better still multiple conduits? That way, you can put in any number of cables that you want. The builder does not need…

Would something like that be a lot better? http://premiumlighting.com.au/product/apex-downlight/ They mentioned there that it is clear lens.

Once again, thank you for your prompt and helpful reply.
In your opinion, is it worth paying more for a better CRI downlight?

Progress stage claims

I was also wondering what happens if the builder does indeed go bust? Do you have to fork out the money that 5% of work that has not been completed?

Sliding doors around alfresco

Can you please post some pictures of how it looks like?

That does look good. However, would it be a bit troublesome to keep lifting it up and down to get in and out of the alfresco to the yard?

Not sure what you mean by indoor use BBQ. In the future, we will most probably have an outdoor kitchen/BBQ area with a rangehood.
