Thank u, that’s great. Will check those out. Speaking of ur en-suite, did u put a door on ur walk-in robe in the master? We want to put a sliding internal door on. But we’ll have to jiggle the en-suite around a bit to do it. So will keep that in mind what u said about which way the toilet faces. Th...

Hi, we're thinking of building the Hampton. Just wondering now you've been in for a while, are you happy with the home? We plan to do the "great room" option too. Do you find the living area is a good size for lounge & dining? And do you find you get enough natural light in the kitche...

We fixed the pool current by bonding and earthing the pool water. It was completely insulated before as the pool is fibreglass and no metal components anywhere to conduct any current away from the pool so when touching the water we would feel a sting or zap. The chlorinator manufacturer advised that...

I know spiking ph can help to kill any nasties living in the pool however is it really neces...
