Browse Forums Building A New House Re: KDR with Sekisui House: Garage door 1301Apr 01, 2015 8:59 pm Yeah we're funding this build out of 'savings' (a sale of the 'other' house) and the landscaping was going to come from the sale of the rural property. Unfortunately the sale has yet to eventuate. Hence the tightness of funds. Definitely it's great we don't have to go to the bank to borrow but it also means it's difficult for other things. Thanks for the fingers and toes crossing. I'll need all of mine and hubby's and doggy's to be crossed too! Re: KDR with Sekisui House: Garage door 1302Apr 02, 2015 9:13 am Dropped by this morning before work and saw our rainwater tank. And our mirrors and shower screens are in. Painter reckons he will be finished on Tuesday. He's annoyed at the paint as it's hard to get good coverage... But doing a fab job. One pic for now as my data needs a top up!

Spoke to our Pca guy and he reckons i'd be fine doing the da myself for the deck. So I'll get that underway for when I've saved enough to get the deck in.

We plan on getting another one one day and maybe one at the top of the block to gravity feed and water the plants. Re: KDR with Sekisui House: Final month 1313Apr 03, 2015 7:33 am Btw is Ryde council making everyone have 15k L rainwater tanks? Re: KDR with Sekisui House: Final month 1314Apr 03, 2015 8:15 am Mmm nope. Just us. It's based on hydraulic engineering calculations for roof area. I have a big one;) Sent from an elegant mobile device using Tapatalk.

I should check it out Re: KDR with Sekisui House: Final month 1316Apr 03, 2015 9:09 am it is the calculation of roof coverage and size of the property that determines tank (at least that's my understanding). I have 2 tanks 5000 each instead of 1 gigantic 10k tank Re: KDR with Sekisui House: Final month 1317Apr 03, 2015 2:22 pm Mine is 3 tanks, with 12k of detention storage and 3k of retention. Trust me Yvonne my roof is very large:) Also how much you have to have is based on site coverage as well. If you are more than 35% in Ryde you have to have detention hence the large storage requirements. Sent from an elegant mobile device using Tapatalk.

I am looking for feedback on them from others who have built with them. 0 8208 |
