Re: Is this brickwork acceptable?Building A New House

Jul 26, 2010 3:55 pm

Hi well it seems we may of had the same do dgy brickie. Where and who are you building with? IMO the sliding door should be fixed along with the gaps between mortar and brick. The gap between the door and bricks they will just use some beading which is no real big issue. The water damage to the eave...

Hey Jo I saw on your blog that your shelves weren't moveable. How'd you go with getting them fixed as we checked this out and they said it would be moveable although it is not in writing I don't think in our contract? Glen

Hi, To me this sounds about right but I would probably water them twice a week to be safe but all these things depend on the weather and hot it is and how much it rains etc. This is because you got to remember one of the main uses for water for a plant is to cool itself. Glen

Hi Dale, Yeah that sucks but if thats what they do if they don't work I can only presume they are all covered by warranty. They might want to do it this way as the warranty might start on the day of installation or the day of purchase. As a result in theory they install it the day after in you have ...

Hey Jo, Thanks for that cause I think it would be good to have the one piece of glass cut around the cupboard hopefully they will do it for us but we will see. I'm sure the dumper for you guys will be fine. Glen

Yes I guess very annoying but the idea of having a nieche with a glass shelf is growing on me as I think it might look good. They keep saying though they have poblems with the nieches that big. Which I don't think is the case I think they are just trying to standardise things, which means people are...

I just spoke to Charlisle about the nieche and they said the studs aren't that wide which I find funny why the distance of the studs would change but oh well. I think if we have a nieche which is 600mm high with a glass self it should look good still and provide the same amount of room. I have just ...

Hey, Thanks very much for all that information. I have sent off an email saying friends are building the same house and have a nieche that size so we will see what happens. Hopefully fingers crossed can argue the point and they will do it for us. Generally I find its very annoying as the CLE is just...

Hey Jo & Dale, I am Sarahq's better half :) We had our first contract appointment the other day which all went fairly well although still waiting for them to email us even though they said they would that afternoon. I am wondering because sarah was telling me Charlisle allowed you to build a nic...

Concrete Slab vs Timber sub floor?Building A New House

Jan 29, 2009 12:11 pm

Myself and my girlfriend are going to build a house. I would like to get a house built on stumps for the reasons stated by everyone else. However it seems a lot if not all of the major builders only build on a slab. Does anyone know any major builder that will build on stumps instead of a slab? Glen
