With "Buying standard off the shelf" here's my2c 1. Rarely does one size fits all. 2. Weight up the costs of alternative designs & materials 3. Often becomes PITA when it needs to modified. 4. Weigh up the data, pros & cons for 3 alternatives 5. Specific "Customised & Optimised Solutions" are often the best I have thousands of 3D Models & Details in the BIM Database that can be linked to G-Sheets and Internet Data Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Please tag me if you need assistance Cheers Chris Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: Projects to do after New Home Handover 14Mar 25, 2018 6:40 am ![]() I'd like to do something with my garage to protect the floor from spills. We will be spending a lot of time in there doing hobby stuff like: Bicycle cleaning and maintenance Airbrushing Electronics 3D Printing Oh as well as parking some cars in there I guess..... I'd love suggestions on what I can do, I don't really want to paint it or put sealer down. Thinking more of a rubber tile or something that can take cars as well as spills.. I'd love to have a go at my decking - but I think for quality and longevity, I'll get a tradie in. Ill be doing all my own window covering installing, turf, fencing and landscaping. Another DIY project id love to have a go at is to install a timber panel feature wall behind our TV's - both in the lounge and media rooms. Also - making use of our roof space - not sure how to go about putting a floor up there for storage or something. Do you do that during the build?? So it got me to thinking about using attic ladders to get to the roof space, it can range from $200 to $2000 at Bunnings and from the videos it looks easy to do.. You can also even convert it into living space. But obviously seek a professional's opinion if you are unsure.
