To be completely honest it'd probably be nicer to just knock it all out, brick it up and put some nice doors in properly. That way it'd look like it's supposed to be there and tie in better with my plans for the rest of the house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Place timber against the glass, gyprock over the top. Double check that the glass brick wall it's a structural wall that is holding the roof up. If not you can knock the out and open the whole room up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to be honest, I prefer being able to close it off. It's more useable than having it all open, coz it means if the missus is watching tv in the main living area I can be using my computer or playing guitar or whatever in that living room. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I'm getting a house peeps...unless something unforeseen comes up when they run my final credit check or something...

Looks like I'm getting a house peeps...unless something unforeseen comes up when they run my final credit check or something...That's what happened with us "You'll never believe it, but the valuation was exactly the amount you are paying!" Funny that, because for every cent you valued it higher I would have paid less mortgage insurance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Andrew Gold Donating Members 2,036 Member For: 9y 8m 27d Gender: Male Location: Canberra ACT Posted 27/01/17 09:50 AM Share Posted 27/01/17 09:50 AM That's true! I laughed too because we are having a look at extending the mortgage to do a couple of upgrades. Bank has an online thing to give current house value so you can determine what equity you can borrow against. The tool predicts a value range between x and y. The gap between x and y is $120k on our place. I asked them which value they use to determine current value, and they said "well, what do you reckon it's worth?"
