Homes On Show - Save My Bathroom

Posted 30/05/18

Behind every job there is a story. This one starts with a homeowner, and a vision to renovate her bathroom from an outdated 1970’s relic to a modern, clean, and functional bathroom. The Dilemma The story starts with Joanne and her first tradie, a referral from a friend. The tradie seemed great. The homeowner and the tradie agreed that Joanne would buy everything that was needed for the bathroom, and the tradie gave her a cost to install and renovate to her plan. Fast forward three months and the tradie was nowhere to be seen and uncontactable. With the goods for her bathroom waiting in Mitre 10 and a loan taken out for the project, Joanne was desperate to get the job underway. The Solution “I spoke to someone at work, saying I didn’t know what to do. I needed to have my bathroom renovated, and my colleague said, have you put it on Builderscrack?

Drainage for sloping driveway

Posted 5 months ago

We have a driveway which slopes down about 30 degrees from the road. At the bottom of the driveway is a garage. We have had issues with water coming inside when we have heavy rain. There is an existing sump and we have installed a temporary sump pump, however we need a permanent solution. I think the existing sump needs to be upgraded and maybe a new slot drain installed.
