Underground Rainwater TankGeneral Discussion

Aug 09, 2007 9:23 am

Hi All, Up to the stormwater stage of planning... And, of course, Basix... Wondering about rainwater tanks... For an underground tank, are there advantages with concrete tanks vs poly tanks? What about differences in prices... And anyone willing to pass on some general costs for tanks, accessories, ...

Hi, we've had an Ariston front loader for more than eight years and it's been fine... Wanted to purchase a Miele but they were too expensive! Had good green specs and one of the highest spin speeds around... Only the Miele was better! Sorry, don't want to sound like a Miele salesperson!!! We did req...

Ok folks, sorry about the repetition, but how about I reword the question, that way nobody is actually "recommending" anyone, just stating facts... Does anyone know someone in Sydney that lays carpet according to the Australian standard? Cheers, A

Asthmatics and Carpet...Flooring & Floor Covering

May 21, 2009 5:08 pm

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone out there has any information on types of carpet and its affect on asthma... I once read that because wool absorbs moisture from the air, it provides an environment more suitable for dustmites and thus nylon carpet was better if there was an asthmatic in the house......

Jul 14, 2007 3:06 pm

Hi all, Wanting to let in outside (natural) light through a slump glass splashback... I can picture what I'm after but how would this be built? What goes on the outside brick wall? Non opening window ? Glass bricks (end up with "shadows" from grouting lines) ? Anything else ? Any ideas/suggestions w...

Slump glass for splashback... Let there be light !Kitchen Corner

Jul 20, 2007 10:53 pm

Thanks for all the replies folks... Yep, a skylight would let in the light, but it's a two storey building... Further to that, I think a "glowing" splashback will actually look great... Just got to work out how to put it together... Haven't actually seen anyone else use it ! :wink:

Insulation... Brick veneer home.Heating, Cooling & Insulation

Sep 07, 2007 5:05 pm

Hi, Just wondering about wall insulation for a new brick veneer house... 1.5 rating pink batts to external walls already included as standard... Is there any advantage in also placing sarking to external walls between frame and bricks? Any thoughts... Thanx, A

Anyone researched or used Grande Homes or Chateau Homes?Building A New House

Feb 09, 2007 2:16 pm

Hey Casa, Can't really help too much... A friend of ours highly praised Chateau Homes, saying they had some great tradespeople and built good homes... He hasn't used them himself, but taken an interest in their work in his area. You certainly pay for their work though... Have a look at their website...

Thanks BB... You've got a great idea up and running there... Unfortunately, not enough input (yet) from the public... Somehow need to advertise the site so that we all know about it... Might then get some useful reviews, be they good, bad or ugly ! Best of luck...

Shore Group Homes, Young Home and Homestead Home (Sydney)Building A New House

Feb 11, 2007 5:43 pm

Hey Gianna, I'm at the same stage of looking around for a Sydney builder that you're obviously at... Had a meeting with Shore (you need to make an appointment to view their display home) and was quite impressed with their designs... Not your standard project home, so to speak, but of course, with th...
