Countertop conundrums
Comments (36)~$400 including expedited shipping. My GC just had his regular countertop guy do them, which wasn't great.... he had trouble making clean cuts. If I were going to do it again I would have pressed for someone with expertise to cut them. You can see in the image that the facing is not made of the stone peak, because too much was broken during the cutting to make the mitered edge. I'm a little bummed, but mostly pleased with the surface (which is the important part) thus far....See MoreWhat colour curtains should we choose?
Comments (12)I'd like to suggest that the most important thing here is more about who is using the room. If It's a child's bedroom use lovely children's curtains - there's so much around and any pattern could pick up the wall and floor colours. If a guest room and not used often I'd suggest a beautiful velvet or good quality Linen and forbid the little ones from going in to that room!!!!!! alternately a blind attached at floor level could be raised or lowered so the view is still there but with privacy from waist height perhaps. Good luck. Bee...See MoreNot sure where to start!
Comments (49)Thanks for the replies! My wife suggested we talk to a local real estate agent, so i think that is a good idea... just that Im not sure how helpful they are likely to be if we arent selling yet :) As for saving for our dream house, I dont disagree, however if doing this up nicely over the next ~5 years or so while we live here nets us some extra in the eventual sale, then that of course will help us as well. Interesting thing happened today actually. I got a knock on the door and one of the older neighbours asked if he could take some lemons from the tree. I of course said yes. Anyway he was telling me he had lived in the street for 40 years. I asked him if the house had always looked like this, and he said no that ~30 years ago the old old owner did a massive renovation and pulled off the timber and put up the bricks and gutted the inside of the house. Interesting stuff!...See MoreRoofing insulation
Comments (1)Thank you for sharing your experience with condensation forming on your low-pitch roof, and for reaching out for advice on how to prevent this from happening during your roof replacement. One possible solution could be to add venting cavity battens on top of the purlins, which would allow for ventilation and help to reduce condensation. This would create a small air gap between the roof underlay and the insulation, which would allow for any moisture to escape. Additionally, using a suitable roof underlay, such as the Thermocraft Covertech 201 that you mentioned, could also help to prevent moisture from penetrating into the insulation. Overall, it's important to consult with a professional roofer or contractor who can recommend the best course of action based on your specific situation and the type of roofing materials being used. They can help you to choose the appropriate ventilation and insulation systems that will work best to prevent condensation and protect your home from moisture-related issues. Good luck with your roof replacement, and I hope you find a solution that works for you!...See Moresupurunu
