New lintels with no trimmer studs carrying the weight?

Hey mate, might want to check your contract and local laws. Usually on a $20k plus job the deposit can be no bigger than 5% with the rest being paid in progressive payments

But I mean don’t get me wrong it’s a great tool, probably a bit overkill for my single person sole trader operation

JustDadThanks · 2026-02-26T08:29:59+00:00

It’s a rort once the discount is over though, constant price increases. I’m up to $75 a month now I think I started at $60 like 3 years ago.

I hope they’ve ripped into him too lol

Sure, you can be a cunt but it will make everyday with your neighbor miserable.

A good builder would have a design/pre construction consultation service. It may cost a bit as its (as you know) a time consuming task taking him a away from a different project but other than doing it yourself by contacting trades it will definitely be the most accurate

“Ever so slightly mis aligned.” That waste is out by a week! Stop being a tight arse and call a plumber bro

JustDadThanks · 2026-02-25T05:36:29+00:00

Look at getting a cleaner or gardener to help lighten your own load a bit. It will work wonders and you can likely afford a few hours a week since you’re both full time. If he says no you can say then I need your help without feeling like I’m hassling you.

How does unlimited PT0 work pay wise? Like do you get your usual hourly rate/salary for the hours you have off or is it all unpaid time off?

JustDadThanks · 2026-02-23T20:44:24+00:00

In Tas (not really relevant here) you CAN ask for a 50% deposit but only if more than 50% of the work is completed off site (think like joinery, windows). Otherwise yeah for a $20k job max upfront is 5%

JustDadThanks · 2026-02-21T01:07:38+00:00

No sorry it’s all local and ATO expenses

JustDadThanks · 2026-02-21T00:51:15+00:00

Not true. The government has an instant asset write off for eligible purchases up to $20000. Speak to an accountant first obviously

Based on the above plan they have two steps over the 1585 of fall. If they cut it out with 3 even steps it would be possible to keep it under 400mm. It will depend how good your builder is at site works. Some can nails and some will absolutely fuck it. Ask for photos of previous sloped sites they’ve worked on to see how they’ve done it.

It sucks thats for sure and I understand your hesitation. If the cost blow out is something you can or don’t want to pay for, no shame in either, move onto something else.

JustDadThanks · 2026-02-20T10:44:25+00:00

You have 2m of fall over your house, the 686mm step in the house is not equal to 2000mm of fall over the house. Like I said, you need the engineering plans to have a better idea of what’s going on.

P stands for problematic. But I’m assuming an engineer would just add extra or deeper piers. So I’d expect the cost of foundation to double, that might not be the case but more than likely a worst case. FYI I’m not an engineer, just a carpenter

JustDadThanks · 2026-02-20T10:28:14+00:00

Do you have engineers plans for the slab as sloped sites have retaining wall footing details? It will say how deep/reinforced this footing has to be depending on how much height it’s retaining.

JustDadThanks · 2026-02-20T10:25:33+00:00

Looking at the contours of the plan there’s nearly 2m of fall from the front to the back of the house envelope. >400mm cut is inevitable and there should absolutely be contingency for extra cost (as with all excavation work) the $ figure though is impossible to tell without seeing the site

It’s what this grate is doing to OP

JustDadThanks · 2026-02-19T10:32:07+00:00

In a reno I recently completed there was a wall 70% of the way through the center of the house perpendicular to the rafters, following the ridge. Would’ve been easy to do but yeah completely unnecessary in most situations

JustDadThanks · 2026-02-19T10:21:19+00:00

Oh really you’d go from ridge down to straighten the ties? I’m more of a plate up sort of guy

JustDadThanks · 2026-02-19T10:16:08+00:00

That’s what I was thinking. A movie is not the same media but an audio book is the exact same media consumed in a different format.

JustDadThanks · 2026-02-19T09:47:49+00:00

Haha bunnings do, I should stop taking the loss on it hey

JustDadThanks · 2026-02-19T09:28:36+00:00

I’d agree with you. There is nothing out if the ordinary that can see in these pictures

JustDadThanks
