As you say though it's a question of personal taste and I love the stand outs of white bath and basins. Keen for it to be all done so we can move in and add a few items around the place to splash colour like purple orchids. We'll start with a fake one since the missus managed to kill the one I bought her...by leaving it behind when she worked away for a year hahaha!

Wilko the kitchen looks good mate. Steve my pick is 439 tiles the white in the tiles will contrast nicely with the white bath.

Yeah, I remember from when you showed me through the place that daytime lighting won't be an issue...so that'll be cool. Don't get me wrong, I really like the whole dark tone theme if done right. As you say, it brings a great contrast between the white bath and basins and bright colour add-ons like flowers etc. Looking forward to seeing the result man! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That lit her up so now she's going to light a fire under the office's butts. We'll see how that goes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To them and to you. Yeah I liked the vertical strip one the most. Actually a slightly different version without the brushed metal sections, those were a light blueish glass with a vertical stripy back...no pics though But the gold ones were the only tile we both could agree on. The tiler wasn't a fan when I sent a pic from the shop but liked them in person once we mocked it up at site. Ran the garage door this morning on an extension cord. It's so quiet! Where we live now is the old loud BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR style. I noticed the one at Kyle's joint was quiet AF and I'm glad it seems to be the thing now with new homes. Especially since our master is right nearby, only across the entry hallway! Edited 11/05/16 05:09 AM by -Stever- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost impossible to reach over the top of a corner pantry and cut in the walls to the ceiling. Way more masking if your spraying too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of mess/rubbish and waste is a complete joke. A little more care about around the site picking up after yourself will show the home owner you care and you take pride in your workmanship. A little update on my place and not without some headaches and arguments with my builder sidekick. Well have some brick work done but not finished, currently bricking the front of the house plus garage. Looks great very happy with my choose of brick and mortar. Last week I had a very interesting argument with my builder sidekick over the kitchen. Last week the kitchen mob came in and noticed that the plumbing for the sink was not in the right place, only by around 600mm close......NOT! The next day I was on site again when I ask the builders sidekick to see me before he leaves. Right then he went off "what for" I want to talk about the kitchen. Whats wrong with the kitchen he said. He went straight on the defensive. I said I have an idea that might help with the issues with the plumbing. If you like swap the sink and the stove around. Well that didnt go down well. He the starts going off telling me that I will need to call the kitchen mob and get them to change the design that will cure extra cost to me. WELL I SAW RED. Dont think friend, Is the plumbing in the right place? NO he said. Will then it's you I <3 Bananas up you fuking fix it at yourr cost not me, F.O. I spoke with my builder Friday arvo and he said he'll take care of it. On Monday morning the kitchen mob called and by that afternoon all new design. There has been multiple issues from windows not fitting and wanting me to get rid of the window all together, NO. Walls and concrete not straight EG the alfresco area is one, see pics below. Plumbing for my pool being ripped out. Not a happy camper ATM. Here are some pics - I'll get some pics up of the front next time. Some of the Cladding only at the rear of the house so far. The bricks The not so straight Alfresco area. It's not the only place that isn't straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For money im assuming this custom build has cost u I dont think the quality is there tbh. I rekon bob the builder wouldve done a better job at this point... Things like plumblmbing locations are so simple to check and its ultimately up to the builder not the plumber to check that sh*t at the end of the day... I rekon he got his licence out of a Wheaties box... hope it all pans out I wouldve told him to jack hammer the concrete and lay the plumbing again... on his wallet assholio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
