Opening up enclosed deck- or not! Exterior dilemma!
Comments (12)How about keeping the framework of the enclosed patio and the wall but opening it up... so pull off the roofing but keep the trusses... and grow some vines like a bouganvillea on a trellis over the area. It would protect your privacy and not waste the infrastructure of what has been built, but it would give the spot some beauty and street appeal. Bouganvillea or a similar brightly coloured vine would look amazing. Maybe a combination of vines so that you have maximum flowering... so some autumn leaf colour, summer flowers, spring flowers... think romantic like wisteria, jasmine, clematis, rose... or bold and tropical bouganivillea and mandevilla. You can paint the trellis a contrasting colour to add some appeal while the plant is growing up. Pulling off the roof will bring better air flow and light back into the living area....See MoreTransforming the tandem garage

Comments (5)Hi Jade and Lachlan - I recognise your beautiful home from my Dr Retro House Call to it. Love the new exterior paint colour for the fascia. So often this style of terrace didn't have properly engineered footings to the brickwork or thickness to the slab. Sometimes the cavity under the slab was even filled with building rubble before the slab was poured as it was easier to hide it the dispose of it! If there has ben movement in the past twelve months it may point to a change in moisture conditions in the soil, such as having a leaky water main out the front fixed, or having a large tree removed. A patch job is not going to fix it, especially if the movement continues. A local structural engineer may suggest some form of underpinning which will be expensive, and not rectify your balustrade height issue. Whether it is demolish and replace, or underpinning there is no cheap, quick easy fix. Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls...See MoreDesigns by Vincenza Interiors, Inc
