For those who saw it, does it feel like 60sqm or bigger? Because I need to put an ad together for it to be rented. If i were to write "Brand new large two bedroom home and low maintenance yard" Do you think people would walk in expecting a large home and walk out disappointed?

Bill, I was going to put a project home in, but the council wouldnt let me unless i subdivided, which when i worked it out, wasnt worth it. Selling wise, it would probably be of better value had I knocked down the existing house and built a duplex. But given i intend to hold onto this, it...

Thanks for the feedback! The foyer and front porch were actually all accidental. Here's an insight of to how they came about. Foyer Entrance I initially was going to have that door brought forward. http://www.somersoft.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=6599&stc=1&d=1285564012 However...

For those who were there, I was wondering if I could get some feedback on the place. What you liked and what you didnt liked. And please be honest, I'd rather have blunt feedback so I don't make the same mistake twice :) I'll start. Bathtub is not wide enough. I should have went for a...

If you are interested in building one, I have left Cid and Wally a set of keys and they can show you a time that suits you :)

Thanks to those who showed up today. Hope it was informative!

I dont use the bath either. Its usually use to either 1. Put my mop bucket in 2. Put my laundry in. That said, the existing house on the block also has a shower over bath and I havent heard any complaints about it since ive owned it. Im sure there are some people turned off by it, but my...

A granny flat does not mean a granny needs to live there ;) I looked at it from the same perspective. I'm not a fan of shower over bath, but at the same time, its either 1. Appeal to young families 2. Appeal to the elderly. I would think there are more young families renting than elderly...

New pics! Getting closer to having this completed. AGL finally put in the gas line on Friday :) Anyway, here are some pics. Before painting and kitchen Kitchen is in

From what I understand you are able to build the granny flat right up to the garage if you want, but the walls will need to be fire rated. However if you leave a gap (not sure what the minimum gap is) then you should be fine. However Im not sure how you go about making a double garage into...

Its not quite completed yet. Things that have been recently done: Tiling, bathtub (its in the box and tiled), kitchen, doors. Items still to be completed 1. Painting 2. vanity unit 3. toilet 4. shower head 5. carpet in the bedrooms 6. A/C unit 7. Gas installation (thanks to AGL for screwing me...

Sorry, don't know the answer to that. I guess the rules for NSW must be different.

Please tell me there wasnt human poo coming out of the kitchen sink.

Yes your understanding is correct, the main issue is between the property boundary and the junction on the street. The reason for wanting replacing the sewer pipe that is on my property (ie the non cracked pipe) is that I dont like the idea of electrical wires going through the roof of the...

Hi Kwigib0, thanks for responding. So i guess there really is no way out of it then eh :( More for my own curiousity, how come more water flowing down the pipe would speed up the blockage issue? I thought more water flowing more constantly would help keep it clear? Also, in your opinion, is it...

Yep. 450sqm. If it meets that requirement you can get it approved very cheaply and in under 10 days. No going through the council's DA process at all. That said, neighbours will get a bit upset because they arent notified (because under this development they dont need to be :P)...

Just got hit up with another problem :( (Well i knew it would pop up eventually, ive just been trying to avoid it). My sewerage pipe from my property boundary leading into the street is stuffed. To fix this its going to cost $9k+ because they'll need to dig into the footpath and road...

Judging from the placement of the HWS, i think it will affect the tenants renting the place more because the HWS will be right next to the bedroom. The Solar / Electric will cost around 4k, dont know what rebates ill get seeing ive already used the ceiling insulation for the existing dwelling...
