Just a thought, can the splash back be moved around so that the power point cutout is on right side of the cooktop. Above the cooktop is not an ideal…

Hi everyone. Things have been very slow the last couple of months, a hold up with the bank and DAC on transferring titles following my subdivision. Good news though, my…

Vladmari, it was done by SAF Consulting Engineers. There are so many pages to read, I guess it will be in there somewhere.

I'm pretty sure that as it's not a structural change it shouldn't have an additional cost for you. I do recommend an instantaneous gas hot water system though as it…
