You don’t need to be a licenced builder with decades of experience to save money as an owner builder. In saying that, I would only suggest doing it if you…

$189k for a 4x2 is pretty cheap especially if you are getting 2800mm ceilings. My suggestion is go and talk to the builder and ask them any questions you have.…

It really just depends on what what needs to be upgraded. Some builders may use windows that don’t need to be upgraded ect ect. The only thing on that list…

We are coming to the end of our owner build and we had a few occasions that suppliers told us they couldn’t supply us with certain lengths of framing timber.…

Hey Simon.
What projector did you end up going with?

Hi Beetaloo
We are about a week away from starting our exterior cladding so I have another question about your cladding.
Did you install it all yourself or did you have…

Thanks for that. Hopefully mine is not to much more than that. We have about 5 that are 6m long and a few extra that are shorter

Hi Gandn and others that follow this build. I've just received the preliminary engineering comps and we have about 6 steel beams in our house.
I'm just wondering what everyone…

They look like they are in different positions to me. Unless I'm looking at the wrong thing?

My only question with that is if you put 2 atmos speakers in then want to go with 4 at a later date would you have to relocate the original…

It really depends on the unit, KW and brand. Some people pay a lot more and some pay less

If you mean hw40es I think they are fantastic for the price. Never heard of the 49es

How long did you sit in front of the 120" screen at 3m? Seems abit close to me but it is all up to the individual I guess

Someone may be able to correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is the case
The pipes are pressurised and you need to pump the gas into the…

People we know used taits timber and were very happy. I think boral have timber too. There prices are online as well which is handy

Well they said that as long as we decommission the shed as soon as we get our occupancy certificate then it's all good with our council. So it looks like…

We are hoping our council is understanding like yours. They are notoriously hard to deal with but in saying that I have yet to have a bad experience with them.…

Very nice setup
How did you go with the council? Were they happy with it all?

Are you looking at living in your shed while you build your house?

Bringing up a old thread but just wondering if many people are doing this these days? We are thinking of doing this some time this year

I'm in the same boat, 5.5x4.5m.
If money permits I think I'll have a Sony 40es projector with a 110in screen. Hopefully I can get 7.1.4 speaker setup as long…

Having a better look at the reviews I think the w1350 might be the way to go for us in terms of throw distance. My only concern is weather or…

Will your projector be mounted at the back of the room or forward a bit? I have heard that the w1070 can't be mounted very far from the screen, from…

Is there a price difference between the 2 or is it pretty much the same?

Our alfresco gas point looks pretty much identical to that. Would post a photo but I don't know how

Thanks for that. I don't think my wife would approve of seating at that price. They do look very nice and comfy tho

Thanks. That gives me a ball park figure to work towards. I do like the idea of the worm farm rather than the traditional septic systems

Do you mind me asking how much your theatre seating cost? It won't show me anything on the iPhone

That's pretty good bpratt. We are hoping to plant fruit trees over the drainage area so they get free nutrient rich water and so our grassed area stays as useable…
