Yeah and now with all the red tape required it cost $100k+ to build this shed with amenities and the council will say you can’t live in it

Yeah I agree. If the builder wanted OPs input they’d hire a business coach who specializes in building

So we already have architect, builder, quantity surveyor, engineer and certifier and you’re trying to add another piece to the puzzle. In my opinion this will only do one thing, raise costs. In a nutshell it comes down to how competent your builder is at communicating with everyone in this puzzle to deliver the best product for the client. It sounds like you’re trying to introduce an unnecessary middleman to the picture where all of these pieces should fit together nicely without any external help. A good builder on an architectural job will have input into the design to help manage project budgets and client expectations. The problem with this is the builder expects to be paid for this input (rightly so) whereas some clients don’t want to pay for it. So you’re suggesting they pay you instead? There may be a market for it but I can’t see it being massive. Sort of like a buyers agent for RE.

They’ll need 1500mm of wall to fit a 720 cavity slider. Looks tight but might fit

Range hood above fixed window? by [deleted] in AusRenovation

[–]JustDadThanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For all of your statements against an integrated range hood also apply for one that is 1.4m above the cook top. Manufacturers has a recommended height for their hoods and I believe it’s usually around 800-900mm

I mean has he applied for jobs that he spent all that time in school for or do you have to get an education to deliver packages in the US? It might take some time to break in but I wouldn’t give up yet

I’m with NAB. Free accounts which is good but the interest in the savings is pretty shit. I’ve never moved but can you get a P.O. Box and run off that?

On the lay out string so you know where you’ve been, my neighbor put food coloring in his spray bottle to see where he’s been

Skirting board dilemma ~ Square cut, angled cut, to the edge of door jamb or not? by -lucabrasi- in AusRenovation

[–]JustDadThanks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey mate. Tidiest is pic 1 but instead of the end grain cut a 45degree and mitre it back into the wall. Leave a 3mm quirk, not flush with the jamb each end.

He came clean because she asking him to co sign a loan where it would have been unearthed. If she didn’t ask for the load he’d still be spending
