@Libran_59 Good Quality Timber doors usually come/installed with the internal edge rebates? $1900 ouch Its hard to tell from the photo but I'd guess the doors are also warped? BTW it usually gets worse over time.. they will need to be replaced LOL a door strip won't fix that, nor will buck passing ...

The gap is not acceptable and there is a need to keep the weather out, it will not meet performance requirements of NCC and the energy report. ECO ECO is right, mushroom stop will fix it and the builder should fix it. Is there a display home? Hi there, Thank you for your opinion as well. I know thi...

Hi everone, just need an honest opinion. We have just been moved to a new property and this door was installed by our builder. The concern here is the gap between the door frames. When there is direct sunlight, u can see the light coming through it and its annoying. Builder said its normal and withi...

Hi Libran_59, Thanks for the detailed feedback. Our electrician too told us that if the points are there he can do the down lights cheaper. On your electrical plan - what is ‘add nogging’ ?From what I can see on your plan I think you haven’t had any wiring for home theatre done for the theatre room...

Hi Michelle, just quickly. We are building a double story. Color selection is due in a week's time but still haven't decided on which flooring to go for upstairs and downstairs.
