What's the required foundation depth for building a new home?
Anonymous user 15/12/2025 - 10:49 AM
I’m currently living in a bungalow and thinking about tearing it down to build a two-storey house on the same footprint, using the existing foundation. The current foundation is about 24 inches deep with 10 inches of concrete. I’ve heard the modern standard is closer to 36 inches. Can I build on these existing foundations or would they need to be replaced?

How soon can I use the shower after regrouting the tiles?
Anonymous user 15/12/2025 - 10:48 AM
Hi, I'm planning to take out the old, mouldy grout from my shower tiles tonight and reapply fresh grout. How long should I wait for it to dry before it's safe to use the shower again? Is 12 hours enough time to take a quick shower the next day? Thanks!
