With 2 pac they paint the whole piece of board so there is no edge strip. As it’s a paint I dont know if you could get it to be…

Can you get your kitchen company to show you a sample of the 2pac? I looked at venette in Black but my Kitchen company could do 2pac for not a…

Whatever you do, don’t make the toilet the first thing you see when you look in the door. Could you change the door to a cavity slider instead? That would…

We haven’t moved in yet so only tested the shower heads without being in there. Seems to be fine. Yes you would have one side bare, somewhere to put your…

Hi, we have just installed a double shower in our new build in a bathroom with similar dimensions. We have put our shower heads on opposite walls. We felt…

I’m getting waterfall ends on my island bench as I don’t want my small child walking into a corner of the breakfast bar. If I wasn’t having overhang I wouldn’t…

Well, you have three spots where you would require corner cupboards in a G shape kitchen. Personally I dislike those type of cupboards as they are awkward to access. You…

I suggest you see a kitchen designer. The shape looks really awkward to start with.

One of my cats ran back to our old house a couple of times after we moved. Luckily it wasn't far so I could bring her back. By the third…

We stuck with Surfmist for the roof, fascia & gutters (I specifically wanted it on the roof as it gives the best performance in reflecting the sun). We are probably…

My cabinetmaker showed me the steel wool test. Get samples of a few brands and test how they stand up to it. Not all brands and finishes are equal, and…

Wow I'm surprised how many builders won't let people into their own homes. My husband is a custom home builder and happily gives clients a key to the site. I…

You may change providers but the same company will still be reading your meter and you will still have a daily charge for having the service available whether you use…

Have you considered trying a less well known company? Most cabinetmakers are happy to do what you want and suits your space.

Unfortunately sleepy coastal towns have criminals too. I live in one and there is a number of thefts from houses and cars, though many because of an open window or…

My neighbours where I'm renting wanted a colorbond fence instead of timber palings, so they bought it and put it up while we were at work even though my landlord…

It's a great idea, my mum did it when I was a kid. She worked for a window company though so got it through them. My two toddlers have destroyed…

I would be thinking white wouldn't look so white after a while. Flyscreens can get pretty dusty and dirty. We have surfmist windows too, I love it as it's so…

Main Bathroom - 6.5m2 (bath, shower, vanity, toilet is separate)
Ensuite Bathroom - 6.7m2 (double shower, vanity, toilet)
I am fairly happy with these sizes as I would rather more living space…

In NSW you need home warranty insurance for contracted work over $12,000. If you are an owner builder it is only required if you sell the property within six years.…

My husband Did two coats of waterproofing first then a third after the mortar bed went down. He really didn't want to risk any leaks.

We just had all bathroom windows set high with obscure glass. Fortunately we sit above the neighbour so nobody can look down into our bathrooms. We went with sash window…

Taubmans China Doll, this is very white with slightly grey undertones. I too wanted a cool white. We have only done the ceilings so far so haven't got a photo…

It should never have been 60 cents in the first place, way too high considering power retails for about 20cents per kWh. They were looking for an easy way to…

It could work in your favour if there was a price rise coming up you would be charged the lower price. Lol. Best thing you can do is make sure…

My cabinetmaker had a small sample from Laminex. I wasn't really impressed with the finish and it didn't look anywhere near seamless like the brochure. It was like a clear…

I was recommended by my cabinet maker to put the drainer to the left as I am right handed. It makes sense if you use your right hand to wash/wipe…

We only paid about $1000 for an architect but it was mates rates. Then a couple more grand for engineering and Basix. I think it all depends how much you…

My carpenter husband is a big believer in acclimatizing solid timber floors. We have had our own sitting down for several weeks and have started to nail them down and…
