    Door frame is the smaller size 762mm x 2032mm On top of that I've also installed a custom Bi-fold door which when folded only uses a radius of 381mm for movement.

    Now that I think about it 🤔 we have a 3rd bathroom on the OTHER side of the house that follows as a similar layout to what you've suggested. Its a little bigger (1.95m x 1.95m) but faar from the bedrooms so really just acts as a loo for day guests.

    They really are 😞... 330x330 It really is 😞.. 1.6m x 1.7m Seems like the shower is the no-regret / no-choice way to go

    Hi everyone I've seen this room/roof extention on a few houses and had a few questions: 1. What type of roof/room extention is this? 2. Is it a good idea to have such an extention? Any typical issues with it? 3. How does it look from the inside? Does it appear to be one room or does it still...

    Thank you so much for these! It really really helps to put it into perspective. Just to be 100% clear are these figures for labour? material? or both?

    Sorry actually this might be a silly question, but I'm struggling to understand how the project could get up to numbers as high as R200k - R300k? How would that number be split? % allocated to Demolition of x5 Non-load-bearing walls? % allocated to re-tiling say 50m2 area? (60x60 porcelain...
