Flushing effectiveness also depends largely on the design of commode - how the water flow is distribute...

Re: flush valve vs Cistern flush for toilet

Hi, i am using flush valve for all the toilets for past 4years; with 1.5" inlet pipe from tank. It is working well. If your plumber has objections for using 1.5" pipe, you can go with 32mm inlet pipe from tank and i think it will suffice. There is absolutely no water wastage. please read my earlier ...

Re: turnkey or labour contract better?

Turnkey contracts looks good initially but gets complicated as the work progresses. - many contractors start drama once the structure is over and keep asking for more money but work will slow down.

Re: Home Construction- Plan

Hi Currywurst,
I am surprised there is no Bedroom in Firstfloor !!
Better think about it once again. It is always good to have one Bedroom. For a 30x40 site, it surely and nicely can be accommodated.
I am not sure about your taste.. but sorry, without it, i cannot approve this design. :)
