Wouldn't it be nice if we could see into the future? Or see pathways into the future. You could see which one had the most regret, the smaller laundry or…

So the "+" is an extra unknown amount that will be added to the bill, in the form of GST. And the "including" means that they won't charge me anything…

It sounds like it will be a pain in the ... to do it without a basket.
My clothesline will be somewhere in the backyard, so it'll probably be much more…

How far away is the clothesline from the laundry? You're taking them one at a time out and going back and forth between the clothesline?

$880 now? The $80 jump, is that the GST and travel?
An hourly rate? $800 an hour?

No basket?
How do you take it from the washing machine to the clothes line?

Hey guys,
Trying to get a Geotech report for my designer, and a Geotech engineer quoted me with this:
"$800+gst including travel"
Does he mean that it will be $800 plus whatever GST…

Hey guys,
Here's a picture of the two:

I like the idea of a space-saving European Laundry, but where am I going to put the laundry basket? And if it's right beside…

Um, I think I messaged too many designers...
What's the polite way of telling them that you're waiting on quotes from other designers?
Or contracting with other designers?

I'm starting to think that it's actually my fault.
I got back word from another designer, and he mentioned that the builder's quotes seemed very low because the cheese cave underneath…

Ok, yeah, I guess it's time to contact another designer and see what they say. I'm a bit worried about getting the same thing though.
Perhaps they are swamped with work…

Hey... Thanks for replying.
I'm not sure what you mean by highly customised.
I drew up some pretty simple diagrams of; the 80sqm home (2 bedrooms, 1 bath, 1 mudroom, 1 laundry…

Hey, how you guys going?
Yeah, I'm up to a month now. Checking back with them every now and then and getting "Oh, I'll see if I can run that up…

I realise this is off-topic, but I don't know who else to ask or who to turn to.
It seems very similar to the Salem witch trials and it has really…

The person in question really did give the argument of needing to live there first "So you can pick out which drapes to buy." No misunderstanding on my part. It…

Yeah, I've already bought a block of land there and have been constantly reading from yourhome.gov.au and drafting a ton of ridiculously novice plans and documents to give to an…

But there is such a thing as deliberately spreading misinformation. And doing so to try and steer someone's actions.
Well, I wouldn't have to interact with that person any more. And…

A relative. They don't live on the island though.

Thanks hey.
The bad advice I've been given. Do you think it might be intentional?
To try and get me to move to the island before building?

Hi, how are you guys?
Yeah, I've been given a TON of advice of building a home, and a lot of it seems a bit suspicious. Seems like it's someone purposefully…

What? No, that's not my block of land. That was on the Metricon site.

I found this here:
https://www.convertunits.com/info/squares
Looks like a completely new measurement I've not seen before. lol
I don't understand why they don't just use squared metres and save everyone…

Here, I'll go get the page.
Here it is. The very top one.
https://www.metricon.com.au/services/di ... s-for-sale
They list 25 under "Total area (sq)".
So just "square". Hmm... I don't know.
The…

Oh, alright, I'll make sure to ask Kitome and get a price tag with all the inclusions and what not.
Thanks, Uni.
Also wouldn't mind picking their brain as to how durable…

Wisdom homes start at $275k and $680k for a ready build home.
Holy hell.
That's WAY beyond what I can afford.

Yeah, it might be interesting to visit a display village.
How crowded are they usually? It may not be a good idea currently. You know, with the virus and all.

Ah, so those are volume project builders? Like Metricon? Thanks, hey. I would never have guessed just by looking at their website.
I found a list of houses on the Metricon…

I don't know if it's the same for others. But when I put "volume project builders" into a search, nothing comes up.
Builders come up, yes, but nothing to indicate that…

Is it worth getting an architect for an 80 square metre home, though? Or is an architect just for the rich and their mansions?
Will they even bother with an 80…

Ah geez. Look at this one.

They basically describe a kit home, as just getting a shell and having to call around subcontractors to sort…
