Browse Forums Renovation + Home Improvement 1 Mar 16, 2021 4:41 pm Hi Everyone, This is such a useful site and I've learnt a lot from other's experiences. We are new to renovation and have only just learnt how tedious each process is!! It's taken weeks to finally get the proposed plans done, but it's nearly there which is very exciting!! Before we approve the plans I'd love to hear your feedback and any amendments we should consider. Thanks heaps!!

Could you mark what floor plan elements are original, and also post the elevation drawings. Sometimes when there are issues with orientation, they can be mitigate by other design choices such as window size and positioning, eaves length, materials, etc. Hello It is good to have a planned bathroom reno to suit your budget and design, living for 10 years I think you need a bathtub 4 10447 Bought in Nov 21 at the height of the market (classic).
