I have a heap of sydney sand that I need to use up so I was hoping to use this as the base. Can anyone tell me if I have to surround the stormwater with blue metal or is it ok to pack it with the sand. Any advice would be appreciated.

I think water is 400mm depth min and elec is 600mm depth min. not sure about surrounding soil/material though Plumbers 'can be' plumbers, made all the worse by self certification which the building surveyor invariably accepts as proof of compliance! The good thing is that you know know. 3 3243 I think you are getting different numbers because they all just based them on "other jobs" even though each job is unique. Often, with builders, unless you're speaking to… 3 2139 I'm about to put down some Merbau. Is it necessary to oil underneath the boards before laying? 0 760 |
