i love my drop in tub with under bench washer and dryer but you need at least 1800mm width to make that work. Tracey's suggestions with the built in shower, stacked washer/dryer and bench with drop in tub with wall cabinet or shelf look ideal but only a plumber can really say what's possible and then you have to decide if the expense is worth it... much simpler would be to try wall mounted shelves or cabinet with doors and an open bottom shelf for "pretties", cut a hole in the back and side to make room for the power point and to feed the cable through out of sight. The wall cabinet would balance the look of the dryer and create some extra storage for minimal cost nb a 900 mm tall unit should be OK but make sure it's mounted high on the wall to match the top of the dryer and allows room to open the lid of the washer...good luck with it

Hi Matthew. I dont really have any plans it was pretty much in my head and we altered things as we went along. It is essentially a hight big deck(1.5m high) with 2 smaller lower decks (platforms) then smaller lower ones again to get on the higher deck and the monkey bars. the monkey bars we put on after, cemented posts on the ground and screwed to the lowest platform. the spin bar and post we then added later. Underneath we essentially built a retaining wall garden bed which originally housed a sand pit. We lined it with weed matting and stapled that to the garden bed frame ready for the sand. We later changed it to a pond and garden as the kids are now older and dont really use the sand pit. If i can help more let me know. I could probably give you measurements if u need

Go with your gut Tracy..... it is a big investment but I have found that if it makes you smile every time you walk into your kitchen you'll never regret it!!!! I've recently moved into a smaller downsized home with my 3rd black kitchen, with drawers, no cupboards, except for the pantry which we use as the crockery and wine glasses stash. Mine is matt but no handles = no hip bangers! I chose to use snow white stone bench tops, the walls are painted natural white while the floors are pale oak hybrid vinyl.

Whoever gave you that information is wrong. Balustrades do not support anything but a handrail as they go on top of a verandah not underneath. They are not structural. If parts of your house are sinking and moving, and causing doors to jam, then you should speak to a professional restumper. Even though restumping is expensive it will save you money in the long term as a door that jams will only be the start of expensive and ongoing maintenance issues. There is no point on spending any more money on your house until this issue us fixed. If there was a cheap and easy way to fix house foundations moving by installing balustrades then we wouldn't have restumpers! Best of luck. Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls
