Its roots are not invasive but they are 90cm deep. Deeper than the…

Not worth it. 4k!

Yes, I'm looking for a 'freestanding spa bath,' & it appears only Decina makes them. Sadly, their heat pump can only keep the water warm in the bath for only…

Is there a water heating system that can keep the water warm in the bath tub all day? (without having to refill)

I couldn’t agree with you more regarding their standards. I went on upgrading spree.
I have engaged an Independent inspector for all stages of construction. In my opinion Lock-up Stage &…

Fix Site Cost is not mention in the contract (builder: Nostra Homes), so I’m assuming it’s going to be variable. Is it going to cost me more if it is…
