Bob, agreed. I delegate this sort of decision to the sparky. There will be no corners cut. In one reno in a block of flats I had a 40 amp line run back to the main board, the one that serves each unit. The existing wiring was sort of crumbling. The OC was not interested...

If it's gas cooktop and electric oven, the PP for the cooktop can be on the 10 amp oven line (presume this, may be less). If it's gas cooktop and gas oven, the double PP (one for each, I think) could be taken from an existing power line. The starting spark would surely not draw much power, and...

Truer than you think. The property has some sections of floor that will need to be replaced, large holes. As far as can be scientifically determined (jump test) the joists are okay. So the floors can be burnt. LOL. Subject to advice from the gardener, the old floors may go in the mulcher...

Westminster, thanks. There is not a budget as such, but rather best value for money over the long term. For example, several hours clearing out the jungle at the back has added maybe ten time the cost of that effort. Huge growth was obscuring windows and a hidden patio - many pavers found. It...

Impala67, thanks, but the only gas oven I could find is a store too far. Attractive price, but - $24. Even with shipping, maybe $100, it would still be way less costly than in Melbourne. I don't think wall ovens are allowed as hand luggage on flights. This is something that I have not done so I...

The kitchen will be completely replaced. At present the intention is to install a gas cooktop and gas oven to replace the gas stove. An electric oven will need a dedicated circuit, and this will cost for the sparky. However, I have been unable to find a gas oven for a decent price. Electric...
