Took a full day to dig it out. Purchase a small Ozito jack hammer to break up the ground and then shovel it out. It cost us approx $300 all up and that included the permit vs $1600 quotes by a plumber with a small excavator. Not sure about you, however, I'd happily dig holes for a living for $1300 a day! Re the energy rating why did you end up going with a raft slab.

Re the energy rating why did you end up going with a raft slab. Was the raft slab specified by engineering? lol - our sewer was capped ages ago, we had no issues with this side of things - house decom was completed back in May, but thanks for the offer. For the raft slab - we are on heavy clay, whilst we knew that this would have an impact on the energy rating, we didn't expect it this much. That being said, with the insulation upgrades etc, it will benefit us in the long run. Que Sera, sera. We were lucky in that our old house was so small (86 square metres) compared to the new house, they were able to take enough readings around the old backyard house before… 8 37095 The biggest challenge will be if you take out a loan and then run out of money - you'll have an incomplete security and lenders do not like this so you can get stuck.… 2 19079 Hi, I am looking into doing a KDR in Melbourne and am contemplating using Kialla Homes. I am looking for feedback on them from others who have built with them. 0 13440 |
