https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/96667_1644732157.jpg i discovered a tool called Greenshot and hope this gives a better view but the dimensions begin to blur Yes, I use Greenshot as well - a fantastic tool. That looks a lot better - thank you!

i hate to have to admit that i don't know how to do what you suggest but none of my suggestions involve anything more than new kitchen cabinets and rearranging the bathroom so tradespeople should be happy with your original plans and their own measurements and none should depend on a rough sketch w...

not that i can use with my old CAD program Rather than use print screen, you can probably use the snipping tool.

my vintage CAD program is not very cooperative and i've excluded the bedrooms and balcony to try and make my plan big enough to see...so the best i can do is post just the bathroom and kitchen that are to be changed.. everything else i suggested is free standing furniture https://forum.homeone.com....

discuss options with a plumber but i suggest that the cost of attempting to include a bath that would probably involve moving the toilet (relatively easy in a wood floor of a stand alone house but extra difficult in the upstairs unit of a block) is not a cost effective investment compared to a gene...

if the washing machine already functions in the bathroom i would not change that unless you want to renovate the whole bathroom and then i don't think there is any value in adding a bathtub for the very short time that it might be used by your own or any future owners' children.. a plastic baby bat...

your plan showed no laundry so assumed there was no washing machine in the flat.. where is it? and if you want to make changes to the bathroom please post a floor plan showing the measurements of the room and location of all existing fixtures, door and window...hand drawn sketch is fine as long as ...

designing is my hobby...and if the windows are 770mm off the floor that would be ideal height for a desk, breakfast bar, cabinets, storage drawers or lower level for a window seat with lift up storage and ideal would be a combination of storage across the whole wall including the living area with t...

Wow that is fantastic. The wall is 770mm to the bottom of the 2 windows in that area by the way, Do you do design for a living?

Hi, Looking at floating some ideas of renovating a 2 bedroom Sydney apartment. The apartment is in a 1960's 3 floor walkup on the top floor. The red highlighted section is a single brick wall that is to be removed (this has been done in the adjacent apartment and is NOT structural). The blue is wher...

Thanks for the advice from all. A 40-50mm dropped ceiling would be fantastic. I would like to use some form of lighting which limits the loss of ceiling height. What sort of down lights or other forms of LED lighting is available?

Dropped ceiling would be preferrable. I'm currently in a 1970's unit with the old popcorn ceilings. It's had a dropped ceiling put in they're about 85mm from the old ceiling. Depending on whether you have noise above, I would consider making sure the fixings were acoustic and if sound attenuating i...

. The current VIR cabling needs to be upgraded. There would be a couple ways to do this - either channelling through the concrete slab which will be extremely dusty and may not even be safe OR installing a dropped ceiling. The suspended slab will need to be checked using GPR (x-ray) by an engineer,...
