If you are selling a house I would 1000% suggest an agent, they will get a better price and deal with stuff that makes the fees worth it.

Talk to pool guys. They could potentially crane it in over your house depending on power lines etc but will be expensive

Undercover architect has tips in season 1 of her podcast. I would suggest bedroom at front and a courtyard/alfresco in the middle.

Hi all,
I’m planning to get the builder to do standard batten lights/minimal downlights and a sparky to come in post handover to do the remainder for a 3x2. As such,…
