Carports vs. Garages: Pros and Cons
Which is better, a carport or a garage?
We plan to build a simple rectangular shaped, south-facing, open-plan house with large patio.2 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and 1 garage/carport. The stand nr 53 Island View drive in Kleinbaai is fairly flat with only a gradual slope from North to South. We prefer exposed clay-brick finish both inside and out. Slightly angled flat roof rising towards the south(Chromadeck).Cemcrete floor finishes throughout.No tiles except in showers.
I'm looking for someone to build a boundary wall in front of my house. We do have walls in front but it needs to be taken down to build the new wall. Wall specifications: > 2-2.5m high. >Double brick wall. >Right side of the gate is the wall 13m in length and the left side is 1m in length. We do not have an idee how we want the wall to look but we are in the proses of searching for something.

Hello, I had a plumber fit a new toilet and repair a few other toilets etc in my house but he never finished and never put the rods in the new toilet, as his spouse passed away. I am very unhappy as already paid him but now I can't find a tenant without this being done? U believe some of the toilets are still not flushing properly. I am overseas at the moment please email quotes
I want to build a boundary wall in front of my garage and carport, I'm not sure how big the space is, but it cannot be more than 15 meters using a facebrick that is in line with what is used in the complex. there will be a gate to the garage and i will decide if i need a gate in front of the carport. the garage and the carport are side by side. The other 3 sides of the house already have walls, it is just the front.

Good morning, Hope you are well. We are looking for a landscaper to redo our garden in Paarl. We have a preliminary idea of the garden, please see below. image.png 1. The is currently a palisade fence and we require a solution for privacy, but it cannot be a permanent structure such as a wall due to estate rules. Maybe a decorative privacy screen. 2. We would like a build in L-shape concrete bench that should be painted approximately 3m each side. 3. A workbench for prepping space & pizza oven ( should be 1.1m deep and 1.6m wide) 4. A wall water feature with Moroccan tile that should be approximately 1.8m (L) x 1.5m (H). Between the workbench and the water feature there should be some plants. 5. Area 5 should be built in concrete, painted planter boxes with landscaping 6. Area 6 should be soft landscaping with no permanent structures.- Sunny area 7. We require a solution for ground covering e.g pavers with greenage in between. In front of the bench there should be a rectangular built-in fire pit. Total area +- 21m2 8. Walkway with pavers and chipstone leading to the garden (Total area +- 5m2) 9. We currently have 3 large cypress trees and require soft landscaping in between. This area is full shade. According to estate rules we cannot make any changes to the estate wall, so all structures (bench, water feature and planter boxes) cannot be connected to the wall. Please find attached some ideas for the look and feel. Will you please assist with a budget quote? Then after a consultation we can firm up pricing for possible order placement. Looking forward to hearing from you. Kind regards
