We have daikin 8hp unit with 4 zones, I am told by the install guy I should always run for 2 zones at least, else it will be bad for the compressor. I have two zones down stairs and two zones upstairs. Our house internal (excluding garage) is 34 sq. We paid 12000 for this a year ago (moved in this A...

stormy what concrete seal/paint do you buy to seal your garage floor? is this the same used for driveway? thx

Chipstick Ours cost $595 per sqm, we are in Sydney.

our builder gave us a list of hydraulic engineers, from whom we got the quotes, the price for the plan/drawings is about $1000-$1500

umehomes, sorry, I dont know, you should ask your builder why they placed them there. Sewer pipes should run externally where possible.

2) Ask the builder to clean this up for you as this should be shown on the inspection report 4) looks odd, I guess you will have a thick layer of concrete to bury these pipes, double and treble check to make sure these pipes are not broken.

VijayGaba check with your termite guy to see if this will void warranty.

that seems very expensive, 15L of paint can paint 180 sqm, premium paint cost maximum $200/15L .

my loan is interest only for 5 years, but it doesn't stop me making additional payment if I can afford. with principal and interest, you are forced to make principal payment every month.

my builder quoted an internal gas point for $380

you can have whirlybird installed on your roof to have your roof cavity better ventilated.

I don't know if this helps, we reduced all our bay window height from 2300 to 1400 on the ground floor. we are pretty happy with the result, saved on plantation shutter cost (as it is measured in sqm), we have 2700 ceiling. It cost us nothing to reduce window size.

too quick for comfort, not good for slab, slab needs time to cure without loading.

looks like the builder's surveyor didn't inspect the formwork before the pour of concrete. Sorry to hear your drama, yes, retaining walls/fence/landscape are expensive as I just found out....

you can encase the broken part in concrete, that should make it stronger.

if you believe in fengshui, then you don't mirror doors facing your bed.

Thanks for your response. Do you stall clothesline before laying the turf or after?

We want to have fold down style clothesline installed, just want to know the experience/cost people have with different brands (Daytek,Hills,Austral). Many thanks

Our slab was poured in similar weather last year (jul/2010), I was worried like you. By the time we got our keys this year (april/2011), there is no line of crack on our slab. I think your slab should be ok as long as dimensions are correct.
