Hi McLaren,
Wow 400m seems really skinny. I reckon you'll probably have to go made to measure with those sort of dimensions and that is really going to bump…

Hi I'm in SA. We spoke to someone the other day who said they would come out and look at our site and draw up a draft plan for…

I like the look of the vanity you've chosen and you're right. You don't want anything too squashy. Hope it all goes well.

Hi there, I've just come across your thread.
Your plans look fantastic. You must be soooo excited seeing it go up.
We are also building in Mt Barker. In Bluestone…

Thanks pugs. I went to your site the other day and had a look and bookmarked it

The TV is going on the long wall on the eastern side of the house. There will also be a tv in the family room and that will be…

Yes you might be right about the room around the bath. talk to the builder they might be able to give you better advice there.
Glad you like…

Mclaren, yes we didn't want a theatre room close to bedrooms because i'm sure the noise would be very distracting. We've also put sound proofing around the theatre room…

How did you find the reece site. I loved it. I've had a play around with your plan on there myself and come up with the option below.…

Hi Nella,
I wouldn't even know where to start in telling you the changes we made at selections. Let's just say there's not much standard selections in our house. We…

To play around with layouts I suggest going to Reece.com.au. You can put in the measurements of your bathroom and enter products into the plan to play around with…

I understand exactly where you're coming from in terms of working out a layout. Although we're building I must have had about 4-5 different ideas on the layout for…

Thanks guys
Jess I've checked out your thread and admire your strong will and perserverence through the build of your home. I think I would have been tearing my hair…

Thanks chippy, you've put my mind at ease knowing there's a double Olivieri Sonetto bowl and not just the two single variety. I'm still waiting to hear back…

Just thought I'd write in and share our experience so far.
We are actually commencing our second build - we last built with Homestead Homes 12 years ago. This time…

Pete_n_Pet has it right. I'm really looking for a double bowl (not two separate bowls) and just want confirmation that the oliveri sonetto is a double bowl and not…

I wanted a double undermount sink and…
