Builders advice

What sort of roof do you have? Are your existing internal walls load bearing? Don't attach your top plate to bottom cord of truss dirrectly. It will cause your cieling and cornace to crack when the roof moves.You need hangers. The top of your top plate should be 20mm lower than the bottom of truss. (bottom cord). Use a double stud each end of wall and spread the others at 600mm centres. Use this as a guide as gyprock is 1200mm wide.

Had another read this morning and just wanted to know if a basic diagram would be possible??? yeah I know???

I am arranging the innards today ( pantry shelves and stuff) and am hoping to win a good table saw setup on Ebay as I have a few projects to do.... including re-doing my rear draws!!!

Then it's kitchen ,laundry and bathroom and by the time I am finished I can rent this house out and get away from all these assholes, yipee!!!!!! Then move next door to AB...he he!!!

I have some pics of our framework from when we did our renos last year if that would help BA.

Also can I suggest you strongly look at Ikea for your Bathroom, Laundry and Kitchen renos. I found that they have very high quality cabinets and accessories and were the cheapest (In our case) than any other Kitchen supplier I could find in Sydney. Our Laundry only cost me $800.00 (without tiles) and that included a SS deep sink, tapware and 2.4m benchtop. Our Kitchen cost $6500.00 including hardwood floor, dual SS sink, Tapware, 900 wide stove (with 5 gas burners on top and a fan forced oven) and a dishwasher. Both appliances are made by Whirlpool. The kitchen is 4.5m wide x 3.5m deep. You can go online and design the whole lot and cost it even before you order anything. Have a look here - http://www.ikea.com/ms/en_AU/campaig...n_planner.html

Send me your number via pm mate, I am a Building Consultant and a Carpenter by Trade. On the phone now but from the pic it seems simple enough.

Happy to have a chat on the phone mate and maybe even drop past at some stage if we can make that work and talk you through it.

plaster is hung horizontaly so it doenst matter, studs are at either 450 or 600 centers , no more than 600, and you can fix straight to the ceiling because if your house is moving now then your ceiling would already be cracked. I do this stuff everyday as a registered builder and renovation carpenter
