Re: Sloping & Narrow block: Modern Hamptons style build: so 329Nov 10, 2017 7:21 pm That's great Chris. Our whirly bird has gone in too, though I'm not sure we needed one with cement tiles... The anti bird mesh is a good idea. Is it suitable for all roof types?

Our 37sq Custom Hamptons Inspired Home: http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=86931 Thanks dani! It's still worth having the whirley thing even with tiles just to get air moving. Good idea putting one in. Two is good on big roofs. The gutter protection product my roof guy used is called leafstopper. It's great they have one for tiles and one for colourbond roofs. Costs about $18 per l/M plus labour to install. We had so many issues with birds in the last house with the old tile roof (80 years old house though) I didn't want to have any issues with the new place.... Especially so high up. If you want any more info PM me A bit excited I hired the painter yesterday and they started painting our gables while the scaff is still up !!

Will have to check next time I go past. Thanks for that info, good to know. Honestly hadn't thought about it at until you mentioned it. Really hate the mess and noise of birds nesting on the roof, so anything to discourage it is a good idea IMO Yay, gables look really good!

Also quite a funny story. I had the toilets delivered this week (in wall cisterns). The delivery driver stood on one of the boxes and just says sorry. I'm like wtf. Had it replaced- was not taking any chances on stuff that gets installed inside the wall! Re: Sloping & Narrow block: Modern Hamptons style build: so 333Nov 23, 2017 6:45 am Starting to look ready to finish with the brick and cladding.

Re: Sloping & Narrow block: Modern Hamptons build - roof on 336Nov 29, 2017 10:09 pm My internet connection (wireless through an NBN alternative company called Uniti Wireless) was activated today !! They still have some speed upgrades to do at the tower which will double my speeds but I managed to duck over to the house today to test it out. I'm a nerd couldn't help it. Very happy it's 4x faster than my old ADSL connection!! So strange to have internet connected already but will make life easier when we move in.

I’d have them in a heartbeat if they were serviceable at my current home. Will hopefully have FTTP at the new house...
