Hey, i was actually thinking the same because the upgrade to the butlers pantry only comes with a 1200mm cabinet that includes the sink on that and really i want the counter space for all my appliances, so thinking about removing the sink, i might find out if we can afford to increase the bench spac...

Re: Where to position sink in kitchen islandKitchen Corner

Mar 24, 2017 9:41 am

Just keep in mind you will need room either side of sink for stacking dirty dishes to wash and then to put them on the otherside when done. I would personally do the middle if there is no dishes out on the counter then you should have enough room for food prep

Re: What is a drop edge beam and when and why are they requiBuilding A New House

Mar 23, 2017 8:13 pm

Although you might save the need for drop edge beams, digging a sloping block until it's completely level could mean that you will need retaining walls instead. Hi yep we are getting two retaining walls put in to have two seperate levels one for the house one for garden and extra lawn (the block is...

Mar 23, 2017 7:32 pm

We have a DEB on one side of our build. I think with a sloping site you either retain the land to make block flat to build on or you incorporate a DEB during construction. We went with a DEB as it meant we didn't need to allow for an increased setback with retaining close to the boundary. Our DEB l...
