Re: THE HOUSE PLAN THREAD 82May 09, 2010 6:25 pm ~Nic~ Definatley all workshop space... that and the double garage that will be built in the back corner of the back yard in a year or two (when the bank account recovers...). Hubby has a heap of tools etc that all need a home - at the moment, we have a double garage that we can't fit car's in (motorbikes - yes, cars - no) so lot's of shed was essential. The workshop was a study to begin with, but we shuffled the walls around and now it fit's us better. gorgeous =) We couldn't extend our garage sideways, so just lengthened it by 1m to allow bench space in there. Will just have to move the car/s out when I want to do sometihng messy with my workshop area!! Seriously, that is SO cool. Love it! Also now have motorbike envy (I sold mine in favour of a brand new mazda mx5 convertible a few years ago, then sold the mx5 when we decided to start a family - thus needing a back seat. Hubby has flat out refused to let me have anything with less than 4 wheels now that we have a kidlet who needs a mummy!!)

I hope you give us lots of updates (and photos) along your building journey!! Re: THE HOUSE PLAN THREAD 85May 10, 2010 10:56 am Hi perthhomelover, Have you thought about doors on either the home theatre and/or the entrance to the family room to cut down the noise effect?

Thanks, I have thought about having sliding, bifold, french or Shoji screens for those areas. That needs to wait until I move in. The builder quoted me over $800, for one sliding door.

We were charged $145 for our cavity slider..... Bit different in WA, very hard to find a "cavity" in a single brick wall...... We have a cavity slider with double brick constructed house. All they do is not brick that section of wall, pretty much the same as if you have a cavity slider on a framed house, they don't have the frame in that section, it's the door cavity instead Re: THE HOUSE PLAN THREAD 92May 11, 2010 8:04 pm Here is my plan (was posted on another thread).

Re: THE HOUSE PLAN THREAD 94May 11, 2010 8:43 pm ^ I don't see why it would cost so much more. Our last house was built with a frame. They built the cavity slider the same way they have built it in our house which is all brick. It doesn't go into the frame of a wall of the house, it is actually a system on it's own, that goes in separate to any frame/brick work. A cavity slider doesn't just go into the cavity of a framed wall. In our framed house, it was done by the carpenters doing the roof, in this brick house, it has been done by the carpenters doing the roof. I can't see how that would make a huge, if any, difference to the cost. Re: THE HOUSE PLAN THREAD 95May 11, 2010 10:39 pm Huggy_B Deemaree $800? We were charged $145 for our cavity slider.....

If it was a double brick wall, then it could be put in the cavity between each brick leaf. But he said it was only a single brick wall, which means no cavity. If it is a single brick wall Huggy B, then do you have all your cabling and piping on the face of the wall? What do you do to neaten it up?

My building thread https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=53000 Re: THE HOUSE PLAN THREAD 96May 11, 2010 10:48 pm Yes, the outside of our house is double brick, but the internal walls are single brick. As I said before, the cavity slider has been done exactly the same way as it was in our framed house! Re: THE HOUSE PLAN THREAD 97May 11, 2010 10:55 pm This is what I mean Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ It's not the best image, but it sort of shows. The cavity slider has its own framing unit, therefore it can be used on a brick house. This was pretty much the same set up we have had in both our houses, one a framed home and one a brick home. (except in our new home it is a double slider) Re: THE HOUSE PLAN THREAD 98May 11, 2010 11:04 pm In WA they use larger internal bricks than the standard face bricks for internal walls. The tradie's, then chisel out the brick to place, water and electrical cable in the single brick cavity/internal wall. The float covers all of this. The water, gas and power cables/pipes run along the rafters?, above the ceilings, throughout the house. I do remember with my parents house they use to run the copper pipe around the outside of the house, but that is no longer done? Lot of plastic pipe? and couplings/joins I noticed, before my ceiling went up.

If you are covering it over in gyprock then the gyprock would also cover the framing unit (such as with a framed house which then has plaster walls put on. But if you were planning on having the bricks natural or with a render, then then you have nothing to hide the sliding frame. If you plastered the frame and the bricks would render, it might be noticable. Building tip No. 3: A raft slab will not get you down a river. A waffle pod slab does not go with maple syrup.

I guess you would also need a bigger brick as face brick walls aren't known for their stability on their own due to thinness I have noticed a lot of WA people mentioning internal brick walls.
