Re: Building the Homestead advantage 4Dec 25, 2014 10:47 am RuffTuff I never could figure out why so many houses are laid out with the main bedroom so close to the road, the garage and in this case the theatre room as well. It's popular so there must be a good reason. My HT room is right next to the master, but the master is at the back of the house, the HT is at the front. Considering it'll be me using it the most, and middle of the night Grand Prix will be the only time it operating up really later, and I'll be the one watching them anyway. But you're right though, I can't understand why so many homes have the master bedroom facing the road, although on the tiny blocks like they have at places like Yarrabilba, there's not really much you can do about it.

Not my cup of tea though, my master is right down the back - dont like the street lights, cars, people walking along the foothpath etc keeping me awake! I put a door on my theatre/mutil-purpose room, that way it can become another bedroom in the future if need be Dale - Building Newbie Proserpine, QLD go upvc window frames ensure insulation under colorbond. not just sarking, lighter color roof also not sure if you have seen this viewtopic.php?t=5823 last couple of pages… 4 111071 Even if it's not being sub-divided and you want to keep it as Torrens title, you will still need to talk to a town planner or Council themselves, to see if they will allow… 1 11232 |
