Got sick of cleaning up after him and needed him to survive Canberra winter nights.Has plywood internal walls, wool insulation in the walls and roof, foam and foil tiles under the floor and heavy plastic to waterproof the roof. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with Arron insulation under the roofing material is not something to be scoffed at reducing the temperature in the roof space is ALWAYS going to improve your ceiling insulation's effectiveness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What on earth were we thinking *slaps forehead*. In all seriousness though, we’re only living here for 5 years, this isn’t our final house, it’s an investment, so there were always things we weren’t going to be that concerned with, this was one of them 🤷♀️ Edited 01/08/20 09:24 AM by Mrs Jeturbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hopeful maybe one day I will know what I’m doing. Anywhooooo..... Got some drawings back for some cabinetry I’m thinking about adding... an inbuilt TV unit and a bench seat for the dining area. Also the cabinetry for the bar area. All tied in with the black and white theme we’re going for, I’m sold on the benches but still refining the bar set up.
