Well there is nothing like bringing an old thread back from the dead. Forgot that I had even posted on here. Happy to say that the reno is finished. (6 years ago actually) Went with a small one man band builder. Could not be happier, and we have used him a lot more over the years to do other jobs. T...

Ok.. I just worked out how to attach a pic. Here it is. There is probably 4 sections like this where the reo is exposed. Should I be concerned?? or just tell him that it needs to be fixed.. or is there no issue seeing as it is going to be covered with bricks any way??

Hi guys, we are now a few weeks into the reno and i have a few concerns. This is the first time we have done any building of any sort, so we really have no idea what is right and what is wrong. But the back of the house has been knocked off and the new slab has been poured. Brickie starts tomorrow. ...

I had more than a door built. It was I wider than normal door. Plus a large panel of teh shark security mesh to cover the full length window next to the door. The door is one of those triple lock ones. In the end I was very happy with what we got and the price paid.

The story so far is that we have got a couple of companies coming over to tell us what they think. AV JENNINGS and Roccas. Has anyone used these? where they any good? should we be looking at a smaller company to manage our renos??

She loves the house and wants to keep it, I am not fussed either way. We have plans drawn up that we have worked out ourselves that would make a very good extension, ...
