Re: Weather boardBuilding A New House

Jan 03, 2019 1:16 pm

Hi, We're currently building a house that's rendered everywhere with james hardie linea weatherboard cladding on the elevation. Hopefully someone else can chip in and provide a more concrete response, as our cost breakdown has other things bundled in so it's tough to determine the exact cost differe...

Dishwasher Recess / Built-InBuilding A New House

Jan 03, 2019 12:32 pm

Hi, We're getting pretty close to handover with our build, but we realised one oversight was not planning for an integrated or built in dishwasher. We've just got a ~640mm wide opening for a freestanding dishwasher to slide into, but what's involved in making the space ready for a built-in dishwashe...

These look like bushfire-proof weephole inserts. They are necessary in some areas. As a renderer, these have often been the bane of my existence. The problem with them is that they are often laid in too tightly and are impossible to adjust. The idea is that the brick layers should leave them loose ...

Thanks for the info and taking the time to reply, really appreciate it!

New Build - Barge/Flashing QuestionBuilding A New House

Dec 05, 2018 12:19 pm

I think it's called a barge, but it looks pretty rough and can't imagine it'll look much better once painted, etc. My question is, are there better, mor...

New Build - External Rendering QuestionBuilding A New House

Dec 05, 2018 12:17 pm

I noticed them in the brickwork before the render went on, presumed they were guides for how thick the render needed to be. Prob...
