Thank you! That does explain it a bit more clearly! Also sounds like you got a good deal with $10K for 17 windows, when I'm looking at $4 for 3…

Hi (anyone who can help)

We have half an acre of steep(ish) land, and are looking for a local builder or 'honest' project builder (sunshine coast or nearby), who can build a decent 240m2…
