Myself, my wife - and my girlfriend comfortably.

Difficult to get a photo due to the size of the room

And you can take a dump and watch them shower.
 
My house came with them. Similar to yours only that I have a frameless door extending across toilet / bidet too. Honestly don't know why they put a door there but hey ho.

Didn't not realise they are that expensive . Mines must be around 18k then . Yikes

I never realised, that when I had dreams of a threesome in a shower, that it would end up being me and my two young children, having a shower, cos we being expedient with time, and water saving.
 
Don't be me and buy cheap shower doors, you will regret it and swear at them often.:(
 
What would be the best / neatest way to connect a pump to the tank - the actual piping from the tank is going to need to do a 180 degree turn to connect to the pump.

(Red Pipe - Blue Pump)

My digidoor 2 clicks with a blinking light after closing. Happens for a few minutes then goes off. Also, when opening, the door stops a quarter way. Have to play with it to eventually get it to open fully. Tracks and chain greased. All of the above happens intermittently. Anyone knows what I can do? Thanks

Usually the blinking light means the battery is going flat on the remote. Not sure about stopping while going up

I need to decide on what colour to with for my roof sheeting. Not really bothered with the colour but each colour has a different Solar Reflectance Index (SRI).

What's an ideal SRI for the Cape's climate? Should I just get something at the halfway mark?

Not so much what is ideal for the climate, as it is what e will be comfortable with when you are enjoying the space underneath, depending on its purpose.. if it is a braai/entertainment area, how often will you use it in the heat of the summer and how warm do you want the area to be etc..

Hmmm this is part of the house (Lounge area). So I guess I should go with something in around 50 - don't want it too hot in summer or too cold in winter.

There will be Isotherm/Aerolite installed on the ceiling too.
 
I'm in the process of installing some CCTV cams, I see they have an earth connection.. can I just ran an earth spike in to the ground next to the house somewhere and run a cable into the roof to earth the CCTV cams..?

Edit: should probably add, they are powered over PoE so, technically are earthed that way..?

This part of the lounge won't have a ceiling..?

Edit: see you updated your post.. if there will be a ceiling, I'd go with the darkest colour..

Okay, I was probably not clear. There is a ceiling...

I'm replacing IBR sheets and the insulation on a section of the house (rest of the house is tiled with a pitched roof) and need to decide on a colour.
 
What's the advisable way to extend a copper pipe protruding from a tiled wall?

I have to replace the taps in my one bathroom, but the copper pipes coming from the wall cavity will be too short for the new taps to connect them up.

Do I buy a copper coupler and some pipe and solder on a piece until I have the length I need, or should I shorten it nearly flush against the wall and fit a flexi hose to it instead?
