It should not have water in it. The plug and waste thread should have a slot in it to allow water to to enter from the overflow .
Sounds like…

Think of a datum as a reference point (height) to work from. The stick is called a staff. You can use other things like timber for this if you don't…

Each to their own, but I am a big fan of having things look uniform. I would have the mixer for the left shower where the bottom cross is and…

Call the manufacturer and ask for their opinion. They will advise if it is suitable for that application.

It does look like it would be hard with the valve that has been used but surely there would be a suitable valve that you could find that would work.
If…

Not mixed up, that's where you have taken me.
Anyway nice chat Ponzu.
Good luck with it all yhfg27, I hope you get a…

Did I not just say this in my previous post.
Contact work - healthy margin
Variations = +++ margin . More money for builder. Take it or leave it
Deductions = less money…

You don't have to explain anything to me, I do work in the building industry dealing with builders every day.
You don't seem to understand what I am saying is…

I'm sorry but builders charge WELL for the work they do?
What does well mean?
Probably not the best word to use for someone to fully understand what you are trying…

Of course it is cheaper for the builder. They may not pass on all the savings to the client though.
How can it not be cheaper? Less material costs and less…

It is very rarely built as a personal preference. The only reason it is done is to get more house on a block of land as it can be built…

I am not talking about making money. I am talking about purchasing a house to live in and be happy with the house.

If you had 2 identical houses side by side. Same floor plan, block size, both Nth facing etc. The house with a eave may not have a higher price listed…

Ponzu everyone can have an opinion and you may not always be correct.
It can affect the ability to sell a house due to the fact that it looks awful and…

I agree that it can affect market value. A house with no eaves looks terrible and cheap.

I have recently installed the Caroma clean flush. It works well, easy to clean and I am happy with the looks and design.
Not an issue for me but the pan…

Have you organised the excavation contractor yet? From my experience some contractors will have contacts of people wanting fill and/or dump sites to use where the costs won't be so…

The company you choose should either have a builder's licence or a kitchen, bathroom and laundry renovation licence. Some tilers and plumbers advertise for this work but a lot do…

You can get risers for pits but you would probably want a wider pit if you want to extend it 1 metre.
How wide and how deep is that pit…

Agreed, the bricks especially from 1/2 to 2/3 the way up the wall are all over the place. They do look tidy though.

Ask your teacher for help

I would think you would just need to show that the tapware is Watermark certified and WELS rated.

If there is a beam in the way, the waste pipe would have to come out from the wall. What can be done done in this situation is have the…

Shower mixer should be 1000mm high. Anywhere between 900mm and 1100mm should be ok though.

450-600mm max for external hose taps.
What are the internal taps for?

If the water in a shower gets scalding hot then the install is either incorrect or the tempering valve is faulty.
Even if the tapware at the shower is faulty…

Floor coverings other than in wet areas are not part of practical completion unless regs have changed.

They should be siliconed but a lot of plumbers don't because of time. Not that it takes long!!
I wouldn't be concerned too much though, unless you have a steel frame…

Looks good Don. I laid Nara in my backyard replacing kikuyu on Tuesday. I am very impressed with it so far, very soft and I love the finer leaf compared…

I have never seen a downpipe connected with flexible pipe. I think it would be very hard to seal around. Your best bet would be to replace the flexible piping…
