Lifting Tiles - Subfloor Problem/Cracking Advice Please

Thanks Bpratt. I should have mentioned that it's a raised floor on bearers and joists. I did have a look underneath and there was nothing immediately obvious, however the subfloor…

Lifting Tiles - Subfloor Problem/Cracking Advice Please

The outlook in general could really do with some greenery in general. Make sure you think of the long term with your planting strategy. A nice perimeter of plants will…

Interesting and different looking design. The inside looks great, with nice natural and neutral colours that will allow you lots of freedom in your furniture choices. Quite an achievement you've…

IMO the proximity of the other properties is worse than the satellite dish, so you're worrying over nothing.

You'll probably find that there is or has been problems with older existing houses, just that they're not significant and because of the ages of the buildings people live with…

Gum trees in suburbia don't mix IMO. Today's tree is tomorrow's problem. Will become too big, they drop loads of leaves and bark quite often (depending on soil) and worse…

Best Layout for Small combined Bath & Laundry

Thanks for the input. It's definitely something to consider. It will make the bathroom more spacious as well... I guess not a lot of people use a laundry tub anyway…

A slider was on the radar, but they're quite expensive and time consuming.
The fixtures can be moved as the plumbing has not been done as yet.

This is the layout for a combined bath and laundry to be built in a granny flat. The room is 2m x 2.435m (internal dimensions).

Thanks Matt, hopefully this will spell the end of my current HDMI issues! Causing me and the fairer half much annoyance.

The best thing about HDMI cables is when they work, which is sadly more than I can say for my current non-Selby HDMI cable that connects my PS3 to my…

Minimum ensuite size dimensions

Fitting into an existing room as others have pointed out will probably work best with a long narrow ensuite design. I'm sure you could get away with 1.5x2.5 metres quite…

Just caught this thread, and had to post to say that it looks amazing. You've really done well!
Great to see an idea turn into a completed project.
