What about maple for the stairs? Would they be a good match for Sydney Blue Gum?

Thanks namtrak for your thoughts. We basically wanted a dark wood floor. But I've seen cypress stained to a dark wood colour, so maybe we can keep the cypress and stain it to the desired colour.

Needing some advice and opinion... I currently have a cypress pine floor, with carpet on top. I was thinking of pulling up the carpets, and installing a hardwood floor on top (Sydney blue gum).

I could not find any threads on Homeone from anyone adding a 2nd level to and existing house. I am interested to learn more about things to be aware of, materials used, time taken, disruption to family life, and pitfalls.

Sorry I forgot to say that I will be adding a 2nd level to the house, and remodelling the downstairs. Does it matter?

Do I still need to maintain my normal house insurance during the building phase? I am referring to the normal house insurance one generally have to protect against damage. Or that is not necessary because the builder has his own insurance? I kinda guessing that I would need normal house insurance to...

If you have PVC windows installed in the last 10 years, what has been their performance? In particular, I am interested to find out if they would discolour under the harsh Australian sun (in due course). I like the sturdy frame and mechanism, as well as the glazing, but am worried about the potentia...
