Thanks I'll check them out. Kind of anticipated more recommendations from people! I guess people using companies are less likely to use forums.

Looking for recommendations on renovation companies people have been happy with that service Eastern Melbourne.
(If there are companies you have had bad experiences with, please PM me so I know…

Yeah it looks like the formula I had that gave the 5.8kW was incorrect, lost in translation

Thanks I'll ask over there

Does anyone know a reliable formula for calculating the required kW for radiator panels based on room size, external wall size, window size etc?
I'm getting varying suggestions from suppliers so…

Great, thanks for your help

Sorry that was poorly worded, what I mean is we are making that inside part of the U fatter, which is where we have extended past the previous wall by…

Yeah I think hip looks better overall, though some gables are nice as well.
Not sure if you saw the hip designs in my last post, but it looks like that…

I found this link which has something similar

Thanks for doing that, I do prefer the hip to gable, and really want to avoid a box gutter.
Is that last design still 22 degree? Would it make things…

Actually we have our TV aerial inside our roof space at the moment, and when it rains I can't get half of the channels, so I guess our absorbant tiles…

To be honest I would rather have tiles than…

Is this kind of what you meant by keeping the same pitch?

Will still need to sort out how the bottom right part of the roof joins in, and wether to…

Thanks Pellana, which render colours have you used there?

Good to know, thanks.
Please keep the pics coming if you have them =), and if anyone can PM me the address of any houses in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne…

Thanks for those, it really does depend on the light.
kaykens, which render colour is that in the last pic? Doesn't seem to be as grey as Dune can look.

Thanks, still having trouble finding a Monument roof. We have seen some that we think are Ironstone which isn't too bad, has a slight blue tinge, and some we…

Does anyone have any addresses they can provide (PM or something) of houses with Monument Colorbond roof? Want to see it in person in the eastern Melbourne suburbs if…

Hi all,
I've posted this in another forum, just looking to get some more advice.
