Building a home studio/office pod in BrisbaneGeneral Discussion

I'm wanting to build a backyard studio/office in Brisbane. It doesn't need to have the fitout of a granny flat with toilet and kitchen. Just electricity. I want to build approximately a 5mx7m building. I've looked at sheds, granny flats and then found these down south http://inoutside.com.au/ Has an...

I am on the lookout for something like this also, but more of an outdoor office/studio. Can't seem to find anywhere in Brisbane. I found http://inoutside.com.au/ and have fallen in love with the designs but they don't have any displays up in Brisbane. Would love to find something like this in Brisba...

Well, the guy never turned up....gave some half hearted reason.... spoke to another guy on the phone and he said that if they start with the shower, they have to rip up all the tiles in the bathroom, so the entire room is waterproofed......okkkkkkk.....arghhh This whole process started, because a ro...

I am too....although, that's if he ever turns up...still waiting an hour and a half after he said he would be here.... The other guy yesterday said that they have to (by law apparently) put the membrane all over the base of the bathroom room....so it extends out from the shower and into the bathroom...

Yep, that was my thinking also.....but the guy who quoted yesterday said that by law they cannot do just the shower recess anymore...when it comes to tiling.....he said that in 2004 it changed, and now if they chip into tiles in the bathroom area, then they have to retile the entire bathroom.....I'm...

Hi there! We are looking at our shower recess that is leaking, and wondering if we can just retile the shower recess on it's own, without having to rip up and gut the rest of the bathroom? Has anyone heard whether this is possible at all? I had a tiler come in today, and said that they couldn't do j...

We have a Bosch (SMU68M05AU) and it is awesome! Lots of space, washes everything really well. Some things we need to dry, but we have been keeping the door ajar afterwards just to let it dry off naturally. It is dead quiet too. We were quite surprised and had to check the first time we turned it on,...

It is a dream kiwi! Just wonderful to work in now! I can be cooking in the kitchen, and my husband can literally walk around the rest of the kitchen without us bumping into one another and fighting for space. Getting rid of the peninsula was one of THE best choices we could have made. We still have ...
