Thanks for the heads up mudmap!! I found those previous posts you are referring to. I used the search option to search for New Dimension Homes. We built with New Dimension Homes a few years ago too!! Bugger! Though can't say I am surprised by the news!

I did pay >3k extra for this corbel so I thought it would be neat. I seriously have to lift my game, I only charge $5 per for corbeling, or I used to..........lol I did think of cutting a mitre too, all depends on the look you want by the windows. Thanks Brickie. :)

I was thinking that maybe the existing brick adjacent to the window could be trimmed (e.g. a half brick) and replaced by another half brick with the zinc coat facing the window :? And then youll see the hole on the face of the wall instead, they will just render it as it is wont they? Hi there! Wha...

Thanks Craig. If your corbel has flat bricks then yours will look a lot neater. As long as the "loose canon" next door is in its enclosure I may go and check out your corbel too! Cheers Dave

I recently had Kevin from New Home Inspections (his website is working now!) do a frame stage inspection of our property. He was great to deal with and produced a very concise report with colour pics that was to the point. Each point was backed up by references to Standards. The builders then fixed...

Hi Fiona, Thanks for the advice. The pool is concrete. Will it still "pop out" if emptied. I thought it may crack? Cheers David

Thanks Paula, that was lightning fast!!! Sounds like the pool definitely has to be covered. Sleepers would do the job!! I will keep that in mind. I will post pics, ta... Cheers David

Hi there, We are going to demolish our existing home and rebuild a dbl storey home. We have an in-ground swimming pool that we will be keeping, and renovating after the new house has been built. The new house will come to within 3 or 4 metres of the pool. We have been told that we need to remove the...
