Questions
Each of these is a question, not a fact. Nothing on this page has been agreed.
For John first
- Splashback: none or matt charcoal porcelain? In one message on 12 Oct 2026 John wrote both "I'm leaning towards to splashback to be honest" and "with the current preference to no-splashback". The book follows the second.
- Where this book is to live, and who may see it. It is John's home address and the inside of his house.
01 The design as it stands
- Engineer to check the steel, anchors and footing for wind uplift.
- Harry to confirm the house-side gutter works with a frame only 50 deep (see the plans).
- Whether a canopy this size needs council or PlanSA approval.
02 The plans
- Is a 50 deep frame enough? Engineer or fabricator.
- Which roof sheet or folded tray suits a 1.5° fall? Roofer.
- Sheet P03's footer note runs a few millimetres past the border. It did in Rev D as well. Not fixed.
03 Roof, gutter and flashing
- Harry: is an overflow through the side fascias acceptable, or does he want another way out for a blocked gutter?
- Harry: downpipe hidden behind the cladding, or on the face?
- Harry: how high does he want the apron flashing, and does it tuck under the cladding?
04 Splashback options
- John: final call, none or porcelain.
- Harry: is he happy with no splashback, with the stand sitting about 150 off the wall?
- Kiln 2 manual: how much clear space the oven needs behind it.
05 Lighting
- Electrician: a power point in the roof space near the Velux windows, and the measured run from there to the strip.
- Harry: keep or drop the conduit in the footing, decided before the pour.
- Which channel and frosted cover: a standard aluminium LED profile that takes a 14.5 wide strip.
- Does the Hue bridge reach the canopy, or does the strip need another Hue light nearby to relay the signal?
- The listing John sent ships from Germany with a European plug (a buyer's review). Buy the Australian one or allow for an adaptor.
06 Materials and products
- Harry: a tape across two ribs before ordering, to confirm 265.
- Harry: which sheets are being replaced, and can it be done while the wall is open for the canopy?
- A sample of the timber-look batten against the existing eave.
- Kiln 2 manual: clearances above and behind.
07 The site and its measurements
- Measure 2230, 2375 and 145 on the existing eave and template its face profile.
- What is behind the cladding: timber frame or the original brick, and how deep the cavity is.
- Where the house footing sits along the run. Found when digging.
- Services along the wall: stormwater, gas, electrical. Before You Dig first.
