Browse Forums Renovation + Home Improvement 1 May 20, 2022 10:15 am Hello forum, I have ridiculous external cupboard at the back of my house which backs onto my laundry. I'm looking to close in the external cupboard and use the space for internal cupboards in the laundry. I'm looking for some advice on which way to go re the material to use (brick or stud wall), and what the waterproofing requirements might be. I live in Brisbane and the cupboard does get flooded from time to time so the solution needs to be water resistant. The flooring in the cupboard is part of the house slab. I'm happy to DIY a stud wall, but would get a brickie if that's the path I take. The dimensions are 2290 wide X 2250 high.

But I guess it's harder to tell the cost/benefit in your example - mainly the 'cost'? If you go 700mm, what are you doing extra… 2 1715 |
