Outsourcing Housework Freed Up Precious Time For This Busy Homeowner

Posted 27/11/18

Busy homeowner Michelle holds down parenting, full-time work and studying towards her PhD. She shares with us how she used Builderscrack to outsource her housework so she could focus on the important stuff... How It Started To say Michelle is a driven person is an understatement. Sitting across from a woman that packs so much into her days is inspiring, not only because of that drive but the clever way she has arranged her life to make it possible. She tells me "I’m doing a full-time PhD and I’m doing full-time work, so for me, I have lots to do and absolutely no time. I also have a teenager who’s almost 16, who is extremely social. Every weekend there are at least five to seven friends invited, and they are having a sleepover. I come home, and I'm like, “I left it nice and tidy, what happened?”. Michelle and her son moved into their home three years ago, and with a laugh explains “how things were starting to fall apart and in need of repair”. It wasn't only hard findi

Install new extractor fan for oven

Posted 2 weeks ago

Need new extractor fan installed over oven. Will need outside venting, ie making a hole for pipe it to exit. Suspect piping needs to be bought separately, as it is a standard box set for extractor. Our kitchen is in the highest part of our house, we are on stilts, so access for making the vent-hole will either be up in the roof, or scaling the heights outside (I think Health and Safety would mean it needs scaffold). Need advice please!

15amp outlet and sufficient breaker required

Posted 5 days ago

I upgraded to a large "single phase" compressor and upon receiving it found it is using a 15amp plug that may require a ~30amp breaker to function (it draws 17.5amps and 22amps on startup), my entire house looks to have 20amp breakers but not sure, I would like a sufficient 15amp outlet to replace the 10amp outlet currently by the compressor on the far side of the garage, or if easier/cheaper to replace the outlet closer to the wiring from the fuse panel outlet, I have 2x outdoor 15amp plugs for...

Kitchen and bathroom extractor fans

Posted 2 weeks ago

To comply with the HH standards, I need kitchen and bathroom extractor fans to be installed. I was thinking an exhaust fan (of the minimum diameter as per standards) would be fine. The kitchen has a "rangehood" above the stove but it isn't connected externally, it's one of those that just circulates the air! - I'm not sure if it's an easy job to connect this up or to just install an extractor fan on the wall instead - probably the latter.
