Thank for the advice on telling the builder about what you would like and see how they react we will be does just that. Which state are your building in? Thankyou Stelle Thank a lot for your reply. Yeah some local small builders in adelaide have some good inclusions as well. The problem is we are just trying to see which way we want to go and which way will save us the most. We have a lot of time so i think we can do some thing ourselfs we are just trying to find out which ones are worth it for the money. It fun this building stuff lol.

Re: Question from person new to building 7Sep 26, 2012 8:01 am BlakeyP Pab, Which state are your building in? In Brisbane, Qld. We've had our property for while now and as of a month ago sold the house off and had it removed from the block. This week the block is being cleared of trees, shed, etc. All going to plan, we should start building in November. ----------------------------------------------- http://pab34newdigs.blogspot.com.au/ ----------------------------------------------- Re: Question from person new to building 8Sep 26, 2012 10:52 am The pool is just fibreglass (I think? whatever pools are when they are not concrete lol) as we've been told by a few people in our area that since we can go for long periods without rain and the ground starts moving (happening at my uncle's place right now haha) concrete is not a good idea because it can crack. So we went for the safer option! We've just got the normal aluminum pool fencing in black. We did consider glass but a: it's pretty exy! and b: my friend who has glass wishes she never did, because it takes so much cleaning and if someone is sitting outside the pool area and you are trying to talk to them, it's pretty impossible since it's basically a solid wall. You are lucky to have time to plan on doing some things yourself - I don't have the time to do that, plus I'm too lazy and just want it all done as easy as possible haha. Our plans should be going into council this week - though they were supposed to be going in two weeks ago, so we'll see! We signed the house contract on 17 April so it's about time something started happening methinks lol Stelle 1st build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=59376 *New*-2nd build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=70324&p=1154282#p1154282 What you are looking at is fibrous plaster, true gypsum, it is cast on horizontal beds with fibers included to give strength.
