Re: Concrete - level against houseGeneral Discussion

Apr 09, 2010 2:16 pm

Actually, I think it was more like 7.5cm below the damp proof course. So I'm not sure what the end reult would be, but it might endup more than 7.5cm Lex, a few cm won't be too much of an issue. However we want to avoid having a step to get in or out. The aim is to create a seamless transition betwe...

We want to install a concrete outdoor area after handover. We want to have it at the very close to the same level of the internal floors. The reason is that we do not want to have a step down/up when going out/in. We are having stacking sliding doors that are being set flush with the slab. We are no...

We were given these options for 25, 30 or 35 mpa. We went for 25. Is this going to be enough? What sort of problems will there be if the grinding is done after handover? Can it be done without trashing the new house?

Our builder wants to charge $2500 to install extra pipes to allow the bathroom and ensuite water to be diverted to a grey water system (to be installed after handover) before rejoining the main waste. The house is single story and both bathrooms are on the same side of the house and quite close toge...

Re: Laminex Silk Finish - Gloss laminate updateKitchen Corner

Feb 19, 2010 5:27 pm

I had a look at the range today at Laminex. It is a very thin layer over melamine. With the white you can see the melamine through the white layer if you look at it very closely. At a distance it would be fine. This is not a problem with the other colours in the range. It is also a mid-gloss and not...

A couple of questions What is the standard height of overhead cupboards? What is the standard height of a rangehood over a gas stove? is 650-700 correct? 600 high is pretty common for tiles. We are looking a 1400 x 600 tiles for the splashback, This would mean we need only 2, one centred and another...
