Hi All, We have a WIR located at the rear of a wall which our bed head is up against. Both ends of the wardrobe are open, as in you can walk thru from one end to another. I'm just wondering for those of you that have the same design, how you may have designed the shelving/compartments in your wardro...

Loving your pool 'take 2'.. would love to see the end result! Cheers!

love your decking 'just erin', especially how you recessed your door mat ... looks fantastic!

thanks joles... ;-) that is right, i only get very little sun thru the back windows to our living area.... i'm with you on that, too much sun makes it uncomfortable to relax and it would warm up your house quicker in summer also... I love the fact that our backyard gets sun all day long and not much...

that's what i thought, however my house faces north and backyard is facing south... i get sun in the backyard all day long...

Hi All, Might be a silly question, but i've always wondered what the benefits are of having a north facing backyard?? I've always heard it great to have one and there was an article in the paper on the weekend of the 10 great tips on purchasing property and this was one of them... Can anyone shed an...

12 external junction boxes Can i ask what is Junction Box? haha... that was my question when my husband requested it... its basically wiring for future light to be installed to an external wall... a bit like the internal batten holder but for external areas without the light globe. So we placed one...

that's expensive i think... but i guess it's probably because you're getting the downlights installed by the builder and 39 of them... their expensive thru builders. As stonecutte1309 mentioned, it is cheper to get the builder to install the light battens where you want your downlights to go and ins...

It does depend what your getting done exactly... We also built double storey 4 bedroom home and our builders electrical costs in at $3200 including extra items we added. Pre-wiring theatre, telephone, foxtel , electrical fittings and installation was organised by our contractor which cost us an addi...

I've been in contact with Redi-Shade, here is their reply Thank you for your interest in our product. You should be able to purchase Redishade from the Port Melbourne Bunnings store.

Yeh i know excitement over temporary paper blinds...lol.. silly me, but let me tell you anything beats having cardboard on your windows! hehe They look amazing!

Hi, My neighbour bought the kit shutters and she swears by them, i've had a look myself and they look great! Can't tell the difference between DIY & professionaly done! Alot cheaper too!

I have just placed my order and looking forward to getting my redi shade blinds ;-) If y...

Hi Again, We also did this in the Theatre room downstairs. We organised for the wires to be set up after frame stage for the projector and all the speakers. Your building will advise you of when you can have your contractor go in to do the wiring - we also had our telephone/internet wiring done at t...

hi, it took us 7 months (incl. x-mas holidays) to do all the initial preparations with our builder being 'H', that's colour selection, tenders, getting developer and council approval. It then took 12 months to build our home. So from very first deposit which was in September 2006 until April 2008 wh...

We also built the Palladian just different facade... Good luck with it!

Due to the angle of repose (45 degrees for clay soils), any building within 7.093m of that pipe needs to be further reinforced with screw piles etc. In other words, if I build within 8.3m (7.093 + 1.16) of the rear boundary I need screw piles. Hi There, We are also in Hawkstowe before on the other ...

Anyone have any ideas for a mailbox design for the front garden? Something different?
