I think a place like Homestart would only instruct the bank to release the funds to the company/tradesperson carrying out the work.

Penny, go to the Home Centre corner of Anzac Hwy and South Road if you can, and get some ideas on who to employ for those jobs. Even the centres that sell the materials (paving etc) will have contractors they can get to do the work. And it should be cheaper than the builder (Homestart) getting it done for you.

I'm in the middle of building my own extension. Doing all the work (99.9%) of it myself and its not easy. Paving would be a breeze in comparison. But I study construction management, so I gotta know this shit. :(

Even better for you ... stand out the front of my TAFE college and look pretty and sucker some of the studying tradies to do the work for you :D

The Design and Construction Management course has two sides: the designers/drafters (like me) and the builders (them), and we like to give them crap :D

Haha well that could work!! Where is your TAFE? Lol

I'll have to get to that Home Centre and have a look this weekend I think.

I have emailed a few places for rough quotes, one of them was more expensive then the builder!

Lucky you being able to do it all yourself, I struggled making the barbie fold and fun house. :D

I could probably build a dog kennel. Thats about it. Mind you I have never tried...

so whats the mates rates ruby :(

To design you a building in accordance with all Australian Standards and Council codes ... I wouldn't even hazard a guess for a fixed fee ... but generally $60 per hour is the norm and there are ALOT of hours involved. And thats just the designing stage.

I'm amending the drawings to my house extension every week or so. Its not as simple as drawing the house you want.

Lesson in one storey building design, so listen up ... :D

The building must be designed for the use of standard brickwork, so the dimensions of the house are determined by the brick course. Openings for windows and doors etc must also meet design consideration of brickwork. There are set dimensions for wall construction and cavities. Cut and fill for the buidling footprint on the site. AS for timber type and strength for roof loads. Council design techniques to be considered for energy efficient homes. Consideration of open space and floor area ratios. Overlooking and overshadowing issues. And so on and so forth. Thats only the tip of the iceberg. I'm designing a house in the south-east corner of the city and its a nightmare because of the narrow dimensions and Council rules!

For the most part, I mainly design road networks in dwelling in-fill areas/residential growth areas. And also site plans for extensions and redevelopments. I'm in the process of applying for an ABN and business name to do some consulting/drafting on the side.

I'd like to stick with the design side of things and leave the labour to other poor bastards :D

That sounds crazy hard. :D

They drum it into you hard enough. Things like this you need to know. Otherwise buildings fall down and people die ... pretty much.

For instance, my floors for my extension are made of timber, suspended over natural ground level. Now I need minimum 100mm clearance from ground to any timber member of the floor. If I use the narrowest timber, I could get away with meeting my existing floor level of 300mm above ground. Well I lose 100mm already from the clearance rule, so that leaves 200mm. Due to the length of my floor bearers of some 7.8m in continuous span, I need 190x45mm timber for my bearers. On top of that goes the 190x35mm floor joists. Well 100+190+190=480, which will be 180mm above my existing floor level of the existing building (not including the 22mm floor boards!). However, I can run the floor joists in single span (not continuous span) between (not on top of) the floor bearers = 100+190=290 which means it meets my current floor level. However, the single spans at (still) such a long span means I need to run them every 450mm, not 600mm to keep the 190x35 profile. Or 600mm at 190x45 profile.

So economically:

7.8m / 0.6 (600mm) = (13+1) 14 rows of joists

therefore 190x45 = 8,500 unit x 14 = 119,700

7.8m / 0.45 (450mm) = (17+1) 18 rows of joists

therefore 190x35 = 6,650 units x 18 = 119,700

Economically they will be identical in cost. So I might as well order more 190x45, rather than a bit of 190x35 and a bit of 190x45.

Lost yet??? And thats only the floor!!! I have to do this shit every week! :D

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
