$189k for a 4x2 is pretty cheap especially if you are getting 2800mm ceilings. My suggestion is go and talk to the builder and ask them any questions you have. Going to another builder could take many months and $$$ if you have signed all the contracts

It really just depends on what what needs to be upgraded. Some builders may use windows that don’t need to be upgraded ect ect. The only thing on that list that seems expensive if the safety screens to windows and doors. I don’t know how many windows and doors you have but I’m pretty sure you only n...

We are coming to the end of our owner build and we had a few occasions that suppliers told us they couldn’t supply us with certain lengths of framing timber. They said they had to keep it for their regular builders to keep them happy. All I did was call up another company and got it from them.

Hey Simon. What projector did you end up going with?

Hi Beetaloo We are about a week away from starting our exterior cladding so I have another question about your cladding. Did you install it all yourself or did you have help. I'm just trying to think how I can manage holding the 4.2m lengths a d nailing at the same time. Thanks

Hi Gandn and others that follow this build. I've just received the preliminary engineering comps and we have about 6 steel beams in our house. I'm just wondering what everyone spent on there steel work if they can remember off the top of your heads. I realise cost may vary a lot Thanks Can't rememb...

No. look at the dolby site for speaker position. mixo They look like they are in different positions to me. Unless I'm looking at the wrong thing?

My only question with that is if you put 2 atmos speakers in then want to go with 4 at a later date would you have to relocate the original 2 atmos speakers or are they going to be in the right spots as I've heard they have to be in certain positions

It really depends on the unit, KW and brand. Some people pay a lot more and some pay less

If you mean hw40es I think they are fantastic for the price. Never heard of the 49es

How long did you sit in front of the 120" screen at 3m? Seems abit close to me but it is all up to the individual I guess

Someone may be able to correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is the case The pipes are pressurised and you need to pump the gas into the condenser. Turning the indoor unit onto hot or cold (can't remember which one, off the top off my head) can help get the gas to the right space but I believe it...

People we know used taits timber and were very happy. I think boral have timber too. There prices are online as well which is handy

Well they said that as long as we decommission the shed as soon as we get our occupancy certificate then it's all good with our council. So it looks like we are going to be living in a shed for a while...

We are hoping our council is understanding like yours. They are notoriously hard to deal with but in saying that I have yet to have a bad experience with them. We will be building the shed or pool room to the same standard as the house so I don't see why they will have a problem. We are going today ...

We are living in our shed right now while we are building the house. The shed is 6 x 12 but we insulated a part of it (6 x 4.5 for the room that we are using as bedroom/kitchen/lounge and 2.5 x 1.8 for the little ensuite). We cook using a single butane cooker that you can store in one of the kitche...

Are you looking at living in your shed while you build your house?

Bringing up a old thread but just wondering if many people are doing this these days? We are thinking of doing this some time this year
