Hey, the best idea is to probably have alook around and go to architect, you’ll find it will be alittle more exspensive but worth every penny.
My parents house was designed by an architect from the north coast, and it really paid off. Plus you could also speak to and enviromental acrchitect they have some great ideas with how to be eco friendly.

Thanks for the pointers… that was really quick!

Can you tell me, whats PPOR?

To answer your question Robert, an 8 hour day for me, ie at work, is in a nutshell this:

We just attended our 1st…[Read more]
