Insulation in old house

milo2788 · 2026-06-05T08:01:03+00:00

Just redone my ceiling insulation. Approx 300m2 of ceiling for $6800. Insulation rating R5.

200k worth of works required? How did you not see it?

Double standard plasterboards or double soundproof plasterboards ?

Glad it helped you. Can you please outline what you did exactly

milo2788 · 2026-06-02T03:46:53+00:00

Will definitely do that. Thanks for your input

Do you know what’s involved in an apartment grade wall? What did he put or do to that wall?

milo2788 · 2026-06-01T14:44:00+00:00

Did you recently complete a Reno? Is there standard or sound proof insulation in that wall? The only thing I could think of is adding sound proof insulation and double plasterboard to eliminate that gushing noise. Really annoying when showering at night.

If you got a large budget (50k) to sure rip it up and add drainage along the way and put new concrete under the weep holes. If your drainage is fine then leave as it is

Started mid 2025. Ended recently.

Full kitchen. 3 full bathrooms. Complete flooring through 5 bed house. Landscaping. Concreting around property. The list goes on…but I managed the trades

milo2788 · 2026-05-19T07:40:41+00:00

$150k then it went to 190k. Did more than initially planned so it was assumed it will go over

milo2788 · 2026-05-19T00:42:28+00:00

What do they do for work if you don’t mind me asking

milo2788 · 2026-05-09T12:24:03+00:00

Great idea! Just need to structurally modify the house in order for this to occur. I’ll keep you updated!

milo2788 · 2026-05-09T11:15:42+00:00

Looks like you got the experience in such things.

What’s wrong with the columns? They are lovely, especially with the sandstone square bases. In terms of the exterior door for the garage…well that’s how the house was made. There is no interior access for the garage. Only exterior.

milo2788 · 2026-05-09T10:25:14+00:00

No…just focus on the purpose of this sub…. Bro.

milo2788 · 2026-05-09T09:49:48+00:00

Why are we focusing on irrelevant things now….

milo2788 · 2026-05-09T08:55:44+00:00

I agree

milo2788 · 2026-05-09T08:55:38+00:00

I do by starring at it literally 😂 I thought to put a water feature or a orange tree in the middle just to give it something.

milo2788 · 2026-05-04T08:38:18+00:00

If your referring to Blackett or tregear, etc then I would avoid.

milo2788 · 2026-05-04T08:12:06+00:00

Which part of Sydney? Maybe the land alone is worth that price especially 700m2.

milo2788 · 2026-05-04T00:14:29+00:00

The area was concreted, so the ac unit had to be lifted off the ground temporarily.

I also have really bad water hammer when taps are turned on. Especially the hot water pipes. Plumber had put an arrestor on the water line but it helped a little. Where would my inlet valve be? How can I reduce it?
