Carports vs. Garages: Pros and Cons
Which is better, a carport or a garage?
The house is an older 3 bedroom, 1 study Sydenham home that has had some renovations done to it by past owners. But it still has old pressed ceilings and sprung wooden floors and is not open plan. The house also has some old finishes and non functional aspects. Our favourite aspect of the house is the view of the Linksfield Mountain which we would like to remodel the house to face as a feature. Currently the lounge and dining areas face the other side. We want to with economic and Pre existing structures remodel the following: A) Make the house open plan, functional and modern. B) Make the living area face the mountain C) Make the floors solid D) Have modern ceilings E) Have an improved entrance F) Have improved exterior modern design G) Have an on suite bathroom to each bedroom

A little about me: I am requesting assistance in styling a 3-bedroom apartment working with the layout in existence (no major rehab please). I expect to be closing on this week in a new development (Living/Dining/Entryway/Main Bed areas). My style is modern/comfortable/accessible. I also want to integrate things that I brought from my place of origin (photos, artifacts etc.) just to create a home feel. I like plants and spaces that create opportunities for mental/spiritual wellness. I spend alot of time watching media when I'm not working so I'd love a good media/sound system. Finally, I am an emerging senior (61) but active. **SEND QUOTES VIA EMAIL ONLY...I WILL EXTEND CALLS BASED ON QUOTES RECEIVED** Thank you
I bought a townhouse in a complex and there are two bathrooms and the kitchen to be renovated. I want the tiling, taps etc. to be removed completely and replaced with whole new designs, this will be for the bathrooms and kitchen. I will then finally need the entire inside of the house to be painted. I am not sure at all about the total sqm of the house. Would need someone to advise.
