I'm not sure where my tiling went wrong to be honest. I met with both the SS and the tiler. Tiles were drawn and marked on the wall, we were…

Hey Tambwa
my recessed vanities are licorice linea silk finish and I can't see any white through the cupboard doors. Could it be that the door just need adjusting? And yes…
snowyowl posted:FRANKENSTEIN - My building journey
oh dear, that's not cool. Are you going to ask them to take them up and re-do it properly as per your plans?
snowyowl posted:FRANKENSTEIN - My building journey
Oh my gosh, so they have! What were they thinking? It's easily fixed though isn't it... just need to turn the bricks the other way, although having said that -…

Oh and if they still don't give a breakdown of costs after all that - stamp your feet and scream and scream and scream until you're sick! That should do…

*sigh* ok someone please tell me what on earth is the point of having a tiling meeting and discussing where tiles are to go and how they are to be…

Whoa - $26K, in my next life I'm going to be a painter and decorator, seems as though there's some good money to be had in this sector! lol

We picked up loads of mistakes in the costings - totally unacceptable. I think the problem lays with them wanting to cost everything as they go. They should just concentrate…

No further discount on an initial quote? Or not even throwing in something extra for free? That's harsh. Have you told them you've got another quote that you're seriously considering…

Oh, so I shouldn't really need to do all the walls - just wherever the plasterers haven't done a great job in the odd little place. Well, it's still not…

It's very hard choosing which laminex goes with which though - isn't it! ... such a lot of choice and posible combinations. We are happy with what we've gone for.…

Oh great, looks like I will be getting it replastered then 
snowyowl posted:SnowyOwl: Building with DAH, South of the River. WA
Oh cool, that sounds ok then! I didn't like the idea of spending a huge amount of dollars on paint.

Hey Wandering,
All 4 recessed vanities are the same, we went with laminex polar white for the benchtop and the fronts laminex liquorice linear SILK finish. The silk finish was an…
