We got told we had to put floorboards in and not tiles. Wasn't to happy being told what I had to put in my house. We are building in Mt. Barker SA we thought that if we put insullation in all the internal walls that would do it and then we could have tiles. But no having all the walls done made it worse, go figure I would have thought keeping the heat in would have been a plus, as cooling really isn't a problem we hardly every turn on the airconditioner in summer. I think there is some little nerdy guy sitting in an office with no windows in a Govt. dept. rubber stamping some with a tick and some with a x and coming up with some weird ideas on how to make us all pay extra just to have a 6* rating. Enough of my rant look forward to following your build. Re: Our custom build in the Barossa - getting closer 98Mar 03, 2011 4:07 pm HAPPY DAYS!! :z: For info on our build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43093 Built the McLaren by Dechellis - slab down 22 Feb - handover 30 Aug 2011 - and gardens finished 9 Dec 2012!! Re: Our custom build in the Barossa - getting closer 99Mar 03, 2011 4:37 pm Oh goody - we shall be seeing pics of your build soon then! mrsroc, were you given a reason as to why the insulated walls made it worse? I ask because we are planning to put insulation in the internal walls too. https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43937&start=0 Bought a block in Golden Grove - Jan 2011 Finally finished our design, Mar 2012, *yay* Signed with ADH council consent June 12 Re: Our custom build in the Barossa - getting closer 100Mar 03, 2011 8:23 pm That really does not make sense to me.....we will have internal insulation on all walls, was never mentioned. It is mainly roof and window sizes along with orientation of you house that will guide the eneregy efficiency calculations. Off to take some pics of some selections and post them!

I'd get the gutters to match your roof and pipes to match the paint - otherwise they become a feature. Nice pick with the paint colours! 1 34266 6 55311 A quick update, we didn't have site start before Easter.
