I don't think Kek's reference to similar kind of matters is irrelevant at all. They are fair analogies. It's like, "if we give them an inch, they take…

Yep I'd want them to be the same as the floor tiles too. they can cut them to the 200x300 size if that's the size you prefer

I'm certainly no expert but I've been recommended having the colour all the way through the concrete, as if the top sealer bit ever wears off anywhere you'd have an…

I think kellyville ridge?

hi Ash2012. I would definitely go for north on the right hand side. that looks like a similar plan to ours, only flipped. we have north on the…

Hi Bam, pretty sure ours is 250L too. However we have occasionally run out, if I wash my hair and DH wants to have a shower straight after, he…

beautiful kek! classic, modern, warm and inviting

same as suh here - have the metal strips and have been in 2.5 years and no scratches. I think you'd have to be pretty rough with something pretty…

not sure how much ducted heating would be but if it's only the living area you want to heat and it is on the small side I'd go for the…

mine are like Rarygirls only done in stacked pattern not brick. 100mmx300mm. there is a photo on the first or second page of the show me your kitchen…

looks great Eager! did you sit at the table when it was on top of the joists like that? might have made for…

definitely a great idea to double and triple check all your plans and specs!
we also have this epic thread, you might like to have a read through to see if…

it won't be cheaper if they won't let you replace it though!
have you looked into whether there are rangehoods around whose installation won't mean re-designing your kitchen cupboards, or are…

Hi atsang2047 and welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately I don't think there is a straightforward answer to your question. Every builder has their good and bad points and what is…

will they let you delete it and install your own, either during the build or after handover?
or just let them install the cr@ppy one they want to install and then…

we have ceiling fans with the lights in the middle of the fan. they aren't great for brightness but with bedside lamps it's bright enough.

medium rare thanks
just kidding.
probably towards the door especially if it's the side that it opens on (so tiles would be behind it a…

the money pit...

good luck with your house building journey Til. Don't have anything of value to add really, just wanted to say what a great post cmhamilton! thanks for taking the…

It does seem silly for them to say the direction of the front door determines the street frontage. There are heaps of houses on regular non-corner blocks with the…

well done!

my friend's kitchen is from Ikea and her hinges are quite distinctive, not sure on the brand though. have you got pics?

I think canopy rangehoods look great, no matter whether it's a built in or freestanding cooker. I however have an under-cabinet one as I wanted more storage too, or…

the pot drawers in my island bench are similar to what is in your photo blueblueblue. I find the shallow top ones good for glasses & mugs & teabags and…

I agree deb17 I wouldn't like it there either. Mine's right up the top above the glasses.

I suppose it's a fair question but I think there are probably a lot if household appliances that could be used for dangerous stuff like that. We've had our front…

I love my cutlery drawer in my miele, I think it actually gives extra space in the bottom drawer for large items where the cutlery basket would normally stand.

yep! best to have a light above the sink

Mine are good bbb. 2.5 years old and no yellowing yet (just checked them!)
