Technically... Even the house is TOO BIG for the lot under the new small lot laws as technically it covers more than 50% of the allotment So if I was to be covered under every jot and tittle I would have to knock down a few walls and remove living space etc to comply. I'm just a wee...

Piccy of layout Hi there. See the piccy of current layout, and the piccy of old layout. I bought the house knowing that the existing patio would have to be torn down before it tore itself down (mild breeze would have done the trick) I then was left with the dilemna of a cobblestone...

I thought about it - but it wouldn't suit the area. Nah. Not waterproof, flappy about in the wind. Don't really like them. They do serve a purpose - shade I guess. And they don't require approval. I am considering it for the IP - not much room for solid roof out the back but enough to...

Where's your house & I'll come and tear down those pesky walls! :) OHHHH.. you meant MY house.. I still dunno what to do about this. I replaced a VERY dodgy patio cover home built out of what looked to be the twistiest pine beams & rafters imaginable with random placement of posts...

Sigh. :) I have heard two conflicting opinions. 1. Measure the roof footprint area 2. measure the floor footpring area. I think floor would be better. smaller - might just fit! :) Is there any easy way to measure, or do I just measure round the outside and make little rectangles...

err No. That's a thought though. Which is the best way to measure it?

Crud. I am in the process of adding a patio for my house (slab exists already). I got a query back from the certifier - what is the actual dimensions of the house? Reason: I own a place on a small lot. 402m. I want to put a patio - 3.5 x 5.78m The laws say can't cover more than...
