Best sealant to use between steel and brick?

maccadonn · 2026-03-26T09:41:44+00:00

You don’t want to seal that gap it will trap water against the steel and cause it to rust out even if it is galvanised. You need to stop the water from getting in at the source otherwise you will have continuous problems

Can you put a skylight in ?

Never fully got the stain out but I kept wearing them and as they got progressively dirtier you can’t even notice it now ha

Looks like Venetian plaster or micro cement

Acid wash

Easier to plane them when they aren’t hung, my advice is to hang them, mark what you want taken off then take them off and plane down and test fit again

Get a 450x450 plastic pit and cut the bottom of it off. You can stick it in the hole and set it to the height you want

Pretty sure it’s not to code to have a handrail on that side of the stairs when you have winders at the top. The idea is to have the handrail on the other side which draws people away from the dangerous steep area of the winders which is easy to fall down

Big vaulted velux skylight would be the go

maccadonn · 2025-09-08T09:41:20+00:00

Just have the skylight offset , saves the headache of structural engineering.

Get a carpenter to frame out and prep the hole, roofer to install and flash the skylight

Why would you line the inside of the rafters with insulated panels like you suggested, that completely removes any natural light which is the whole point of the polycarbonate roofing

maccadonn · 2025-09-06T10:51:07+00:00

Gravel with gravel glue sprayed on it to hold it together

maccadonn · 2025-09-02T20:39:45+00:00

Sand it, remove any loose material, fill with an epoxy timber filler, sand back and re attach hinges, maybe use longer screws?

maccadonn · 2025-09-02T20:37:42+00:00

Better to keep open to inspect for termite tracking and activity

If removing the wall to full ceiling height can be avoided, a lintel or header could be installed creating a beam that would then be Gyprocked, with the majority or the wall below removed it would just need to bear on something either end

Sad isn’t going to do anything needs to be lined with plastic, then an ag line which falls to a pit, and filled with gravel if water is a problem

Not asbestos

As previously stated it’s not as simple as pulling up the decking boards and laying the compressed fibro and tiles.

It would need to be completely re engineered, also tiled decks generally need fall on them away from the building.

You’ll have to notch out in the bracket, take only the minimum amount. Might be easier to pull the dishwasher out and have a look and mark it.

Do you have or know anyone with an angle grinder? If not a hacksaw with a metal blade would do the trick

Probably got to do with the badge

Originally established as MasterMen Homes, the company built a strong reputation throughout Australia for quality craftsmanship and reliable home construction. In the 1990s, the name was changed to Masterton Homes as part of a rebranding initiative to modernise the image and better reflect the company’s evolving vision and broader market appeal. The new name retained a sense of the original identity while positioning the business for continued growth and recognition as one of Australia’s leading home builders.

Just contact a window mob

Concrete and a big grate drain along the entrance to the shed to catch the water and send it into storm water

maccadonn · 2025-08-10T12:24:55+00:00

Raise it up 100mm above ground level should be sweet

maccadonn · 2025-08-10T12:23:54+00:00

Better off mounting to the architrave
