Hi there, So sorry to hear of your problem and thanks for letting everyone know of your experience. I guess that we all face our trials in this building process (we have been going since September last year and still don't have Council permission). There were just too many alarm bells we saw with HH...

Got a laugh out of your post! Hopefully there are some others here who may have some alternative ideas. Best of luck!

Hi there Guys, If you don't have access through your roof cavity, you will also find it too hard to drill through every joist and noggin in your walls. Your only real option (as far as I can tell) is to try to tidy up the wiring as much as possible by hiding it in some adhesive ducting. This is a tw...

Hiya Bel, This must be a new record. 19 pages on the Forum to get to Peg Out. You poor thing. We are really happy that things are moving for you now! It's a record we hope not to beat! Greg and Kristy.

Hi Peter, I bought the Mitsubishi HC6800 and am thrilled with it. This model also has a feature allowing you to use a 2.35:1 cinemascope screen without a lens, which is gaining in popularity.Feel free to PM me if you would like details. Thanks Greg PS, I have used both DLP and LCD. They are so close...

just heard back from the owner of that HT picture. for those interested the room is: 5.5m x 5m thanks greg, i have heard about excellent results from green glue, its certainly isnt cheap! lots of people on the avsforums wouldnt build a room without it! im keen to see how your setup goes, is it like...

Hi there, as someone who has owned Bose in the past, moving to a higher quality seperates package was like chalk and cheese. I am a real fan of Emotiva audio, based in Tennesee in the USA. They do factory direct pricing. Like most equipment, it is China made but I could not be happier and the prices...

Hi there Firefox, The track runs at $1.95 per foot,so you would need to go around the ceiling perimetre top and bottom and then need 1-2 tracks running around the room to allow for the joining of the material. It quickly adds up but if you order complete boxes, you should get out for about $1000 in ...

Hi there, 4K is a pretty good budget, but you don't need to spend that to get great sound. And that budget brings you into the realm of components. In terms of receivers, you would not go wrong with Harmon Kardon, Onkyo, Marantz, Denon or even some of the new Pioneer series is nice. I think that Rod...

The new room size sounds great. Not sure if I would be too keen on carpet on the walls, but that would be mainly on aesthetic grounds. Might be a bit much. We are just about to start building and will have a dedicated HT room. I will be using acoustically transparent material from a company in Melbo...

Well done Bel, congratulations. You have made it past the biggie.Lets hope that it's smooth seas ahead for you (any more rain and it will be seas - better get yourself a CC for an Ark!) Really happy for you. is it wrong to be insanely jealous?????? Take care and good luck. I thought I saw a white Do...

Hi Bel, There have been a few issues. We seem to have a really nice guy at Council looking after our application, but just the usual. Cut of the block was 20cm more than allowed (over a fall of 7-8 metres!), the Alfresco was too deep by 40cm and we need to remove 6m squared off the house to comply. ...

I wish so much I could say I had good news......the latest is that the certifier now wants ..... THE CERTIFIER WANTS???< who on Earth cares what HE wants??? It's not as if you are you building the Taj Mahal or something ::hyst:: ::hyst:: ::hyst:: ::hyst:: Oh think I better get MYSELF a glass of win...

Hi there everyone, Well, I am answering my own forum question. Found a great supplier here in Australia, based in Melbourne but will freight the product free to anywhere in Australia. Katherine from RIM Fabrics has been amazing and I will be placing my order soon for their Trilogy One material, at a...

Hi Guys, Well it looks like we are not the only people with issues. Before we considered H Homes we were told that they build a nice home but they are expensive. They also take forever, but we figured that all good things take time. We invested $1100 and had a site survey done by this company. Wish ...

Thanks very much for letting us know. You have put our minds at ease! Kind regards Greg

Hi Bel, So sorry to hear that you are having all of these problems. We already have a storm water detention system. It was done prior to purchase of the land as a requirement of the subdivision, so after your issues, I suppose I should thank HSC for doing that! Keep your chin up. You're getting clos...

Hi there guys, We are just about to start (finally) the build of our new home and it will have a dedicated home theatre. I have the electronic side of things sorted but am looking for a supplier of materials for the wall. This material must be non-stretching so that it can be stretched on timber fra...

Hi everyone. After more plan reincarnations than Lazarus, and with moving top and bottom storeys due to ground levels, we have been advised that we would save a considerable amount of money if we used a lightweight cladding for the front of the upper storey. The builder has recommended a Hardie prod...
