My house has a steel beam around it (as we are not the usual 'box' house; on which, the top level is smaller if compared to the ground floor (thus it comes with steel beam to hold upstairs). I am using Hubitat hub with a bunch of zigbee, wifi, and z-wave; for some weird reason, the z-wave devices ar...

Installed mine a couple weeks ago. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160313/1774aa39dc0a942ba3a08c8932e97207.jpg Sorry to revive an old post. I have a similar NBN enclosure installed by my builder back in 2016; since then I got the NBN and I have been leaving the NBN modem 'hanging' at the bottom o...

Thanks for your reply! At the end, I installed gutter guard by put an ad on hi pages website (thus I received 3 quotes) and since it is installed, the grey water is cleaner - so much happy now Yes, thanks for the suggestion, I'll hose the gutter once a year

Hi all, I live in the area where there are lots of gum leaves and gum nuts from the surrounding neighbourhoods; this has caused my grey water to be yellow-ish. After talking to a couple of people, they have suggested me to install gutter guards. I then received 2 quotes from the gutter guard install...

Thanks for this, will definitely try this :)

Thanks for your reply. Hm...this is going to be hard, as I don't have spares from the builder :(

Hi I built new house in the area where there are lots of high trees. I've noticed the leaves are started to build up around gutter. Do you have any suggestions what to look for, when installing gutter guard from a company? As I heard bad things from the gutter guard installer (for instance broken ti...

The house is brand new (settlement Sept 2016). I just took picture, if it's not clear please let me know and I'll try take another one tomorrow morning. What do you think?

Thanks for your responses. The shower is used every other day, but the worst case is used at least once a week

I have double storey house recently built (hand over Sept 2016), I noticed there is occasional sewerage smell coming out of the shower drainage located downstairs Consider it's located downstairs, is this normal? Should I raise this with the builder (as part of their warranty process) Thanks

What do you mean? I dont think anyone do that, as the opening is rather high

Hi, As part of the 6 star energy rating, my builder has installed 2000L slimline steel water tank; the water tank is going to all toilets. The idea is great to save water bills, but then it created yellow stains on my toilet bowl. I have tried to discharge all waters but the yellow water remains. I ...

Is there maximum number of downlights you can have for each junction box? So eventually I can only have 1xbatten light with junction box, and convert the light from this (1 normal light): http://content.screencast.com/users/trialme/folders/Jing/media/87153262-cac9-4b4b-93eb-c0d7888cc2fc/00000042.png...

So in conclusion there are 2 cost effective methods? 1. Install batten point (for each batten point == downlight LED location) Sparky will then replace the batten point and make downlight Downside: might be expensive, as we need to install batten point from builder, and replace them into downlight b...

I'm still confused with the purpose of junction box, is that the one that is installed inside ceiling of both floors? Also, if the sparky preference is to have batten point on where I want led downlight, does it mean I'll have lots of batten points (in which can be converted to downlight in the futu...

Yea, interesting isn't it, he said that junction box harder to reach for him (not sure whether this is because I'm on double-storey or not)... What's everyone's with double storey home opinion? And what's been quoted by the builder?

Hi, Currently building +/- 34SQ double storey home, the quoted amount of LED required by the builder are 71 lights. Each LED downlight quoted price is $149 (which means, in total, I need to pay $9685, just for the LED downlight) Do you think this is too pricey? Also, I spoke with one of sparky, he s...

If you dont know what the pdf size is you should be able to open it in acrobat reader and go to File>Properties. It should have document size shown there, but it may be in inches (just convert, then look up online what size it is). If you set your printer to scale to fit there should be a box sayin...

Hi, 1. Does anyone know what is the meaning of 1:50/100 scale means? 2. Also, if I have 1:100, and if I print on A0, it will shows a correct representation (1cm = 100cm or 1m); But if I print it to A3, how will the measurement will be counted? Please note that I can't see any indication from the bui...
