Re: Builder wants camera removed from siteGeneral Discussion

Jan 30, 2022 8:02 pm

I had a camera monitoring my build. It caught other trades jumping the fencing and pinching materials. When I spoke to my site supervisor, he said 'don't worry, you will not incur any additional costs for items stolen/taken' They also did not want me to monitor the site, but I was asked to remove it...

Are NSW COVID restrictions impacting the build/remedial workBuilding A New House

Hi all, For NSW today is considered Freedom day for those that are double vaccinated. For the rest, that day is Dec 1, 2021 where both vaccinated and un-vaccinated can co-exist without masks (except for public transport) My question is: What are your builders saying now?

The seals on the side and bottom are great, but the top seal is failing to press against the lintel be...

Thinking about your requirements, possibly consider retracting glass roof. But you also want it completely enclosed on the sides too.

I am lead to believe thqat the cheapest option for the original renderer is to apply a primer and then Rockcote over the top. Apparently that will be less than stripping existing concrete render, and reapplying and painting again. That may also mean that the render may avoid the cost of a weeks hire...

I have a question. Given that pool fencing needs to be 1200mm high with no gaps larger than 100mm but if your pool uses a perimeter fence, that needs to be at least 1800 high. Can you use a decorative fence extension to comply with the height minimum 1800mm height ?
