Photos for sure. Otherwise my kids will never believe me when they grow up and I tell them why the toilet is in that crazy place over there. I will be telling them it could have been much worse. In fact it was! :lol:

Don't worry T. . . we can all check your frames together. . . as long as they're up by Sunday!!!

Long straight piece of wood and a tape measure should do you just fine, no need to go forking out squazzillions of dollars.

We had one in our last house, was great but as we are having a water ice machine in the fridge so we cant see the need for one now.they are fairly easy to install but if you have to go install in stone, it will be the added cost of the stone mason cutting the hole

Filters- I am not really sure that's why I am picking brains on here. We use a filter jug now, it is supposed to go in the fridge but I never have room. The things that go under bench are a cartridge filter that needs replacing every 3 months? I think. They have a little skinny curved tap/spout on the bench at the sink.

We get a water point at the fridge & I think these fridges filter the water for ice & water But not sure about that. Our fridge does not have one, it is quite new, stainless steel & I don't want to replace it yet. I am thinking water for tea & cofee & cooking so don't only want icy filtered water.

We looked at the hydro zip taps, which were boiling and cold filtered water. about $1800 plus installation but DH is a plumber so wouldnt cost us, I doubt it would be a huge job to install though.
Our water filter we had at the last house was a big round thing under the sink but we didnt change any filters

Hi all, first time poster, we were all ready to go with Cosmo last year UNTIL..... And now have had to start again. Intrigued by some of Zen's designs on their website, and by the comments on this thread. We'd love to see some of the work they're doing. I see there's going to be a bit of a get-together on Sunday to observe progress and have a chat. I'd love to come and have a look if that would be okay. If it would be alright could someone please pm with address/es? Thanks!

I would like to come to the Fiddler too, how will we recognize the group?

Concrete truck turned up at 6.30am Fri for our slab, heard the news that the bridge was likely to close before midday & thought it too risky too stay. In the end the bridge didn't close & it was a beautiful day. Slab now Tues.
