Re: First Build - GJ Gardner - Modified StillWaterBuilding A New House

Aug 15, 2016 10:14 am

Having lived in the area now for close to two years and in two different rentals, I would strongly recommend insulating the external walls as a minimum. The winters here are dropping down to close to 1 or 2 degrees in winter and high 30s to low 40s in summer. You definitely feel the difference betw...

Hey your place is looking awesome. Good to hear you guys are in now and most of it is sorted. Gotta say all your colour choices come together nicely. But seriously, that table is the business.

Hi I just wanted to ask about your living area and how you find the temperature in the living/dining area with those stacker doors you have. Have you noticed the room being more cooler with all that window in that area of your home or any difference at all? We are building the Carmelle with Plantati...

Hi Michelle We are currently building and the builder has offered laminate flooring throughout as part of the deal. Now im not a huge fan of laminate due to looks and how it feels under foot. Just wanted your thoughts on whether it would be worth spending the extra $$$ to get engineered hardwood flo...

Re: Insulate wall or pipes to reduce noise?General Discussion

Feb 23, 2016 8:51 pm

Thanks guys. Doubling up on wrapping pipes and insulating the wall sounds like the way to go. Now its just a matter of whether i add it to the build cost and get hit with the builders margin being added or i cross my fingers and hope the SS lets me do it myself.

I should have pointed out that this is for a new build. Just wandering if people notice it in their new builds. In the rental we are currently in, I just realised that when someone has a shower in the main bathroom, the person in the adjacent room gets to hear the pipes making a noise the entire tim...

Hey guys I did a quick search but couldn't find anything. Just wandering to reduce noise from water pipes say when someone is having a shower or flushing the toilet, should we be insulating the pipes, wall or both to reduce the noise that it creates? Thanks

Place is looking great and handover in a month? That is quick and not to far away. With tiling, particularly in the bathroom did you have a say as to what way the tiles will be layed?

Looking good Snyde, your build is coming along nicely. In regards to the corner beams where your stacker doors are, are you saying that was an upgrade? Also how does the house size feel now that the walls are gibbed? Does it feel mich smaller than the display homes which are q1?

Nice one Snyde, its coming along nicely and now you can start to get a feel of how big the rooms are gonna be. Just a question re windows, are they all standard sizes as per the standard plan? Specifically that dinig room window in the second picture?
