Thank you for the useful links Bashworth. Lots of helpful information on that site.
Insider I will have to read the report again (and show it to someone qualified)…

It has been noted by a poster in the other section, the fill range is actually 0mm to 600mm (60cm). Any thoughts based on the corrected fill range?

Woops! Yes, I did get it wrong, the range is actually 0 to 600mm (60cm). Thanks for picking up on that BSTAR. I'm glad there ate people like…

I posted this query in the building section but just noticed this section so thought I'd post here also. Hope that's ok.

I wasn't suggesting you would claim twice, but that you may run into difficulty getting either insurance to pay an individual claim as the property is double insured. As…

Another option, perhaps you can work with a builder to adapt their plan in the necessary ways, e.g. widen hallways and doors, alter bathroom to be wheelchair friendly, flatten entries,…

One thing you may want to check out is if there are any potential problems with getting your own insurance on the entire build, and thus doubling up on insurance.…

Thank you both very much for your help. I'll be sure to ask for more details if we go with this builder.

A builder we are looking at has a few different inclusion lists, depending on the plan. On one, the kitchen cabinetry is listed as "2 pack painted doors and…

May I ask if you ended up going ahead with Hotondo? If so, which Geelong franchise?

Thanks Vess. You're obviously very organised, have good communication skills and loads of energy. I can only imagine how excited you are getting the closer you come to…

Vess, please allow me to add to the congratulations on what you've achieved. May I ask how you've managed deliveries and allowing trades access to the site while working…

There were plans for a new supermarket in Lara a while ago. There was a hold up for some reason and I'm not sure where the plans are at…

Thanks Ebony. I have now spoken to a sales consultant who helped me out. To help anyone else who may have similar questions, they said Porter David can do hydronic…

Ruth, I'm so excited for you! Hope you and the family are continuing to recover from illness.

I started reading the first section of the course during my commute to work this morning. I just wanted to mention to Mrs B and anyone else who may…

So Ruth, do you have a slab?

Thanks for the link Michelle. There's some really nice stuff on that site!

I thought the time issue was what you would be getting at with regard to having/not having kids. No offence taken at all.

No, we don't have children Michelle.
Oh...don't worry, I'm sure Mrs B will help you out with whatever you have in mind for her.

Thanks Michelle. I'm quite looking forward to it now that I've made the decision.
I went with Cenage. The course is titled Interior Design but to my (untrained) way…

Well I've jumped in! I rang and enrolled in the course this afternoon. They said my first set of learning materials should arrive by the end of the…

Thanks for emailing the spreadsheet Ruth but unfortunately I didn't receive it. Just checked and I gave you the wrong email address. I'll send you another PM with…

Excellent news Ruth. Hope the slab pour went ahead as planned!

Michelle, I'm sure you're right. Maybe I should do the course and then think about whether I want to take it any further. At the very least I…

I hope I can explain this well enough.

Hi Mrs B,
With the amazing amount of effort you are putting into your house build (which I wholeheartedly applaud) I'm not surprised you haven't got the time/energy for the…
