I’d do the wrong side but Gyprock has several product and installation guides easily available on the web.

This is a really awkward space! What about trying to build a unit into the corner which seems to be dead space. This could house the television and other bits like dvr,amp etc. The unit could then extend out towards the door in length and in height either up to the start of the window or up to the start of the blinds. I would suggest drawers for toy storage and books above. In this way you leave the windows clear for light plus it looks like you have a pull down screen so the tv would be out of the way of that. This arrangement would also hide all those wires and cables! Ikea have some good examples of storage which you could adapt or copy, such as Besta which illustrates the extended toy storage. http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/S39927155/

Narrow room, high ceiling ...
Q
Comments (0)
I'm about to take the plunge and re-paint the lounge. It is long, narrow, with high curved ceiling. In plan shape it's like a slice of cake :-). I hope the pic shows it well enough. I'm standing at the other end of the room, which is basically 5m of stacker doors to the deck/archgola. The colour is Dulux Brick Red. I've been agonising over colour - I'm after a coastal vibe. I'd like to maybe wallpaper the short wall with the Island Lady triptych on it, to give some interest and contrast. I'm thinking Resene Robin's Egg Blue, with the end walls Resene Inside Back. I've been playing with a free design programme and I've run out of brain space! Would love to hear any comments, advice from other Houzzers please!

Uneven floor/ceiling in corner.... any advice?
Q
Comments (0)
Hi guys. Any advice GREATLY appreciated.I have a 2 storey 1970s townhouse. It's one of two, attached by a concrete block wall. It had a roof replaced (cathedral ceiling) and since then cracks (gaps?) have appeared between the ceiling and wall seam. Just here and there, not everywhere. Also a gap between the concrete block and wooden trim of the drywall down the length of the house in one corner. This has led me to notice that the upper floor/lower ceiling in that corner isn't straight! You can see in the photos that the cinder block is higher in the corner! All the window frames, doors and the rest of the walls/ floor in the two rooms are level. I have looked under the house at the foundation and can't see anything scary. Could the house have been built like this? Or has something occurred? I can't see any cracks in the cinder block wall. And any advice regarding the gaps that have appeared?

What’s the reason you’re after the old guide?

the house was built between 2008 (building permit) and 2009. We have an insurance claim following a storm event, the insurer tried to say it's non-compliance caused the damage: The insurer said "missing a adhesive and no back-blocking on a joint". According to Table 2 in Gyprock redbook, it said Level 3 finish doesn't require adhesive and back-blocking (it' s not best practice though). I am not sure the same requirements back to 2008-09.

Make sure you also use the Insurers complaint process to have the claim reviewed. And you can escalate to the insurance ombudsman. I would be saying that whatever the installation the Gyprock has lasted a good number of years until the storm event, and would have lasted a good deal more. It didn’t fail until the storm. It’s the event that caused the damage not the installation.

does anyone have this "Installation Code for Metal Roofing and Wall Cladding. Section 5 - Roof drainage – Item 5.7.7 - Spreaders"?

also how could I approve that "the pressure flashing wasn't installed in the form of silicone sandwiched between the pressure flashing and the brick wall,

rather silicone has been applied only after the installation of the pressure flashing"?

I’d go back to the insurer and ask them for the documents that they are using to assess against. Put the onus on them. Sounds like they are looking for wriggle room and should be defending their action.

the insurer can be very tricky! Initially they tried to say the damages caused by wear & tear, but there is not enough evidence. so they are now trying to argue it's caused by construction and workmanship, which are not covered. THey spent a lot of money hiring the plumbers, builders, and now engineers to approve the damages are not within their PDS. I have to do the counter argument. Life could be much easier without dealing with insurers!!

Given your house is around 15 years old I think you need to go to ombudsman not a forum.
