HI Emily Carpeting bedrooms is only dictated by your budget. The only variable is the price of the carpet, all other costs (installation, smoothedge, underlay) will be the same no matter what you choose. When you say remove wooden floors....do you know what is already installed? If you are only wanting to take the wood from the bedrooms but leave it in hallways etc, then the cost to remove wood planks (laminate?) may be around $20 per m2... A lot depends on how the timber was installed, so I think it's best to get in a professional and get a free quote. Good luck.

We have a new build and the west side garden is overlooked from the neighbour and from the street around the corner, - looking through the neighbour's property. This problem is compounded by the house being 400mm above ground level and having a standard height fence. I was thinking of an allee of trees for privacy screening and for dappled light and sun control. Or does anyone have an alternative suggestion?

I have just been reading everyones comments about kitchens , butlers kitchens , laundries , bedrooms , bedroom floors , Walk In Robes and the like . I have been thinking , and I think we need to look forward , and really think about how we design our houses and our lives . This is my solution -- -- Bedrooms and dining rooms should have 'pits' built into the floor -- a bedroom 'pit' will be the size of a bed , the dining room will have one the size of your dining table , and either benches or individual stool sizings . Laundries will be sunk around 1 metre into the floor . -- Somewhere in your house will be a switch , or maybe it will be controlled by an app . You hit 'cleanup' mode , a hyraulic pump whirs , and your bed and table ( lounge suite and coffee table will be extra-price options ) drop to floor level . -- You get your broom , and sweep everything on the floor to your laundry . Clothes on the floor -- yes . Rugs -- tick . Sheets and duvets -- yeah . Table cloth -- yep . Last nights dishes -- certainly . Seep them all into the laundry , where there may be a small shute -- into the washer . Another app will turn it on . -- Fire up the app again , and the beds and tables ( swept clean , no lint , no crumbs ) all rise to the correct height . With a bit of practice , 10 minutes every couple of days should be all you need for a super clean house , including clothes and ( plastic ) dishes . Now , any ideas for self-washing pots and roasting dishes , or should we just stick to the microwave ?

Are you Canadian ? Is a hoouse somewhere a mooose lives ? Or maybe a mousse ? Or a moussetache ? Any building cost will depend on the materials , the size of the building , the foundations , the window size and style . The distance the builders need to travel , the quality you expect , accessibility , even council approval costs will all come into the equation . You need a section -- some land . Then the services -- power , water , sewerage , etc . And then , once you get all the costs in order , you will need a deposit or if you have a large enough piggy bank and time ( I gather you are very young ) , maybe save up and pay cash . I doubt you could get anything 'legal' for $100,000 , so you might spend $200,000 , but if you really wanted you could probably spend $20 million if you wanted real gold taps , marble floors cut out of a solid piece of marble , and hand beaten titanium tile roofing .
