Hi Jamie and thanks for posting.
I agree i cant approach a bank. Do you think I can approach a non bank lender or a broker like yourself who deals with them to refinance the other property to say 40% LVR lo doc., pay a higher rate, something. .plutoPoida
Masonite has to be laid on a flat surface, it cant have any gaps. laying it on an uneven floor wont work as it is only 4 or 6mm thick and it will bounce if there are any gaps under it, and it will squeak forever. All floors need to be one thing 1st and foremost, flat .Gday Poida
Good to hear your out in the country. Man that floor of yours is unusual to say the least. I am a builder so I thought Id help if I can. MDF is not a good idea for laying on the floor ( unless it is sealed ) as it is susceptible to moisture from the sub floor, which I assume being a miners cottage is not too far off the ground. You really need to batten the sleepers @ 450 or 600mm centres, you will need packing material as well, non compressible, to put under the battens at low points and you will prob need to house ( notch) some sleepers as well to get it level. Then you will need to lay floor over the battens. Mate its a difficult job, lot of patience required and a fair bit of labour as well.
