Yes, definitely extend the alfresco to at least the end of the dining room, if not to the end of the house.
How wide is the study? It looks very…

We had vinyl sliding doors on our old house that we owned for 28 years and have them again in the minor bedrooms in our new house. Would do…

Both lots of timbers are painted grey. I just think that they clash terribly with the timber look of the garage door.

Have bought a new house which has grey stripes across the front. The ones over the front portico look fine but the ones over the garage just look so…

Hope you are just as happy with them.

Here's some pics of our Austral Newport. We've been in for 5 years now and the love affair with our bricks continues. I would seriously consider using them…

The kitchen itself doesn't look too bad. I think changing the floor tiles and covering up the brick wall would make a huge difference.

That's what we are thinking of doing too. And try to make a more direct route for the ducting. At the moment it's going around and over other…

Thanks for your response, Traveln.
We discovered most of the problem is the part of the duct at the top of the return air 'cupboard'. There's a truss crossing the…

Any suggestions?

We've got an Actron refrigerative air con which is an add on system to the gas heater.
The thing packed up a week ago and they came out and replaced the…

We've got vinyl doors in our current house (4 & 1/2 years old) and also had them in our old house (27 years old when we sold).
Had no trouble in…

We've got the power point and water point behind the overhead cupboard. Allows you to push the fridge in further.

Hubby said to drill the head with a drill slightly bigger than the original hole and the head should fall off.

We have 2.55 and love it. Going from 2.4 at our old house, you can really notice the difference that it makes. Don't really like the look of…

I prefer the separate lounge in option 1. I'd think about furnishing placement in bedrooms 2 & 3 in this version though. Might be difficult where the wardrobes…

House is looking great.
I don't think it's a good idea using your vacuum on unsealed concrete. It could suck up the dust and blow the motor.

Looking great. Can't get over how clean the site and inside has been all the way through.

It's not something that I would like.

Why don't you wall off the rumpus room instead & have that as the theatre & open up the rest of the room?

Yes, but it's far less drastic than chipping away the concrete at the bottom of the downpipe.

Can the same effect be achieved by pouring the coloured water in from the top of the downpipe ie through the gutter and down the downpipe?

Thanks heaps

I LOVE this. Is it a water feature? Can I ask where you got it?

You need to be saying where you are because nobody's got any idea from your posts

Your colour scheme is pretty similar to ours. Even though it's a pretty neutral colour, I found it hard to put a 'colour' with it. We went with…

Ours is 1.2m and I don't think I would like to go any narrower than that.

I slide the ironing board in at the side of the broom cupboard. We've got a hide a hose ducted vacuum so no vacuum or hose to store.
I've got…
