I like sliding windows as in summer you can open them to let in fresh air. Totally personal choice. All good The alternative if you want best of both is casement windows but they are $$s. Make sure you get a conduit for future solar panel from roof to switchboard. Costs nothing but you will be glad you did it. Re: KDR in Melbourne SE suburbs- Carlisle - Montpellier 51 83Sep 28, 2018 7:26 pm We already have solar water heating and we upgraded to 2 solar panels and a 215L hot water tank. For this there won't there be a conduit from the roof to the switch board? Or do we need a separate conduit for Solar electricity?

You need a DC capable conduit from roof space to switchboard for PV. Re: KDR in Melbourne SE suburbs- Carlisle - Montpellier 51 85Sep 30, 2018 9:35 pm Thanks Kirashogun.

Got our asset protection permit and electricity got abolished today. Waiting for the gas meter to be removed so that demolition can start. Just a quick question w.r.t demolition.....did you demolish before your contract signing? or did you wait till after?

Just a quick question w.r.t demolition.....did you demolish before your contract signing? or did you wait till after? I would say usually you wait till building permit is issued for the new house. Then you demolish. But many people do decide to demolish before the building permit has been issued.

Just a quick question w.r.t demolition.....did you demolish before your contract signing? or did you wait till after? Sorry Krishnakdr Have been off the forum for a some time. Yes we demolished before the contract signing. As there were a few things that needed sorting in the contract and that took almost a month. Meanwhile Demolition was done as it had already been scheduled.

How many days between the second soil test and site cut for you HoneyDee? Hi Krishnakdr, We received our second soil test on 15/10/18. So about 4 weeks to site cut from then.

We're definitely not after a small house Might still have a chat to them. Who did you end up building with if you don't mind me asking? 2 2571 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 18895 |
