Hey everyone, just had a couple of electrical questions and wanted to get some opinions.

The oven is currently connected to the house’s main wiring through this white connection box, which was apparently installed by the previous owners around 6–7 years ago. The house hasn’t burned down yet, but I just wanted to check whether this is considered a normal/acceptable way to connect an oven, or whether it should have been connected differently?

Secondly, we have a bunch of single power points around the house like the one in the photo. I’d like to replace them with Clipsal Iconic double power points. Is this generally a straightforward swap using the existing wiring behind the single GPO, or would changing from a single to a double require additional wiring or other work?

Obviously I’d get a licensed electrician to do the actual work. I’m just trying to understand whether this is normally a simple job or something more involved.

Thank you located in NSW .

Hi everyone,

We’re getting close to finishing our bathroom reno and we’re just picking up a few little issues here and their.
Yesterday we noticed this gap between the tile and the metal trim. Before yesterday it was fully grouted and there wasn’t any gap at all. We’ve already let the builder know and they’ve said they’ll fix it, but I just wanted some peace of mind.

If they just regrout that section, is that generally an acceptable fix or could it end up happening again? Are there any other solutions that would be better?
The only thing that changed yesterday was the ceiling and cornice being painted, so I’m not sure if that could have caused any movement or if it’s just a coincidence. Has anyone had something similar happen before?

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to get some opinions on our bathroom renovation. I’ve attached the before and after photos and would love to hear what you all think. Happy to hear both the good and the bad, or anything you would’ve done differently.

We’re about to start renovating our ensuite as well, so I thought it’d be a good chance to get some feedback before we finalise everything. If you have any ideas or suggestions based on this bathroom, I’d really appreciate hearing them.

Thanks everyone!

Hey everyone located in NSW we’re currently renovating our bathroom and the tiling has just been commenced. I’ve attached a few photos and was hoping to get some feedback on the work done so far.

Overall, does everything look to be of a good standard?

Is there anything that stands out or anything you think I should ask my builder about before the tiler comes in tomorrow to continue?

Also, are there any tell-tale signs that tiles have been spot fixed rather than fully bedded? Is there anything in the photos that might indicate this, or any simple checks I can do myself?

Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Edit: Forgot to add to me the tiling looks pretty good expect for the niche tile that’s the part that catches/concern me, as I can still see the waterproofing around it. I’m not sure if this is standard way of tiling the niche (will point it out to the tiler tomorrow) but just wanted to understand first if anyone here would know if this a standard/normal way of tiling the niche?

Hi everyone just wanted to check if the waterproofing done in the bathroom is okay/per standards etc? I can see that water stops and puddle flanges are installed is their anything else I should be looking out for? The tile will do a second coat tomorrow and then screeding and tiling on top of the waterproofing once it dried. Thanks for your help located in NSW.

Hey everyone just wanted to get a sense check demo is completed for bathroom. Does the wooden/timber framing look okay or would it need to be replaced?
