We have moved into our new home, and we have appliances (for example, kettle) on the bench nextt o the stove. This has cupboards above it, and I am wondering what people do, if anything, to prevent the steam moisture under the overhead cupboards from the kettle and such? or is it really a non issue?

Our house build has just started, but we are considering getting millboard. Got some samples and they seem good, but expansive though.

I am in Central Coast NSW... The numbers the guy gave me, and the 1.2m for the other house just don't add up :(

How much did it cost to have a house drawn up? Did you go in with a rough drawn out plan yourself? Did you decide to go this way because you couldnt find a plan you liked at a volume builder?

How much did it cost to have a house drawn up? Did you go in with a rough drawn out plan yourself? Did you decide to go this way because you couldnt find a plan you liked at a volume builder? Around $5k is what we've agreed for the drawings/design. I know that's very cheap as quotes I received from...

Hello, Weird question, was not sure where to ask. I have googles, but my googling skills seem lacking. I want to know if I can purchase sheets of wood with the high gloss white finish you find on some of the ikea products (like the Ikea Kallax storage units).
