looking good Hoff! I really like the bright green wall. I wanted something similar in the kitchen, but I got dangers when I suggested it

You'll be lucky if its done within 6-8 weeks. Once you submit the paperwork and pay the costs, it gets moved onto another department who should ring you and…

Hi All,
Been busy with this and that, so haven't posted an update on the tiles. I spoke with our SS, who confirmed that Italia did indeed supply the wrong…

They have looked at them and agreed that the tiles are different. They were going to follow up with Italia as to why and get back to us and…

That's fantastic news Hoff! I'm off to meet the tiler first thing tomorrow, who rang me this afternoon and wants to discuss the tiling before he starts. Hopefully…

Great work Jess! Any news on when you are likely to get handover?

Sorry to hear about your problems Robin. One thing that does seem too slow with Rossdale is the paperwork, as it goes back and forth, back and forth. …

Things are getting closer. Got a call today advising me that tiling/painting should be done in a about 3-4 weeks and then its the dreaded walk through. A…

Sorry to hear about the dramas Hoff. I'd be asking them where you signed for them to remove the feature tiles from your selections. If they weren't available,…

As Hoff has said, Rossdale let you have a key for a short period. We'll get ours for this weekend and do some more sutff.
From what we could see…

After 2-3 weeks of very little work, they've been busy little beavers this week.
