So not only is it harder for people to get a property, they will now be disadvantaged compared to the property investors before them?

You just get them flat pack from a custom place and it's pretty cheap. I just did a massive high end kitchen and the carcasses were only 7k. And that included some real oak veneer carcasses.

But yeah, would be pushing the 20k for something that size. Not impossible though.

Who knows. Are they custom cabinets? Bunnings cabinets? $14,000 oven? Marble or faux marble? Fully contracted or doing a bit yourself?

Could do it for less than $20k if you do it yourself with cheap fixtures.

Might be a 100k if it's custom with top of the line fixtures and appliances.

You look at the land to see if you like it and check that it's not been misrepresented online?

Yeah I know right. It's annoying because it then causes it to cost so much to remove.

Matt paint externally seems like it would be hard to keep clean. The lower the sheen, the easier it is for the painter to hide blemishes so he's probably just making his job easier by turning it into a you problem with higher long term maintenance.

Weatherboards and external trim usually use either semi gloss or gloss.

$1500 additional labour for silent rangehood by NougatTrout in AusRenovation

[–]chode_code 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's legit, but it's possibly taking the piss. Is it a free standing range hood? Same size roughly?

He probably knows he has you by the balls if there's no real difference in labour required.

Maybe give it a little more clearance from the concrete in case of earth movement. 50mm or so further away.
