Happy new year everyone! We need to get a 20 meter x 60cm retaining wall for a garden. Considering a stone retaining wall (sandstone or bluestone). I am on clay ground in Canberra. Can anyone tell me what footings I will require? I want to do it right and do it once... Thanks in advance.

Thank you boosta. Sorry I did not provide the model number of the rangehood that I was after more information. As you have found out is HU-9UM. Are both UM-900MS or UM1170-9SP available in the single motor 1600m3 version? Is there a big price difference?

I'm pretty all these Canberra builders are fine.. do you own legwork and research and find one that you are happy with :) (be prepared to pay a lot no matter who you choose, building is not cheap and the bills keep coming) APA Classic Constructions Gold Ruby Renaissance homes Ruiz Blackett EDIT: A l...

Go standard plumbing and kitchen fittings - might not be the height of fashion but that means won't go out of fashion as quick. Hello, would it be better to upgrade the shower mixers and bath mixers that are behind tiles to a premium brand, say Grohe that has a 15 year warranty? I am afraid the sta...

Thank you 2-cupcakes-pls. Now I know I do not need to worry about the prep work! I can't say I have seen a house without skirting boards. Building in Perth is so different, I heard they use bricks inside too, is that right? Here in Canberra we only have bricks outside, inside is trusses and gyprock ...

Thanks for the information Bashworth. I had a look on the webpage and it was very informative.

Hello all. Just a quick question about flooring and painting after handover. I am planning on getting tiling in the living areas and carpet in the bedrooms which seems pretty standard here in Canberra from the display homes I have visited but I will do them after handover. I have done a few searches...

Good afternoon Homeone Experts... I can't find a simliar thread and I just need some quick advice! I'm looking to build on a new piece of land that slopes down 1m from left to right. I talked to a builder at a display home and he told me the high side would be cut 0.5m and to fill the low side to ge...
