How about both? Multiple rails single hung with room for clothes horse underneath.

Hmm yeah I could do that, it's not terribly wide but I do have one of those multi layered clothes horses that could fit

I have some terribly exciting news. Actually I have two pieces of terribly exciting news.

Firstly - THE PLUMBERS STARTED THE DRAINAGE TODAY!! I was working and am taking my builders word for this, but don't think he would lie to me. I'm working all day tomorrow but will leave early and swing by the block to have a look see in the morning!

Secondly - the breakfast bar pendants which we were told were due in September - so AFTER we move in HAVE ARRIVED!!! I have them here right now!!! They look great too One of them has a slight flaw so we will take it back to swap it over, so lucky that the flawed one was the first one I opened - otherwise I wouldn't have bothered opening them all so wouldn't have discovered it until they were installed

So great to have some good news to share

And this week your house sells , so more good news!!!

Hey -that is a blessing you opened the box and checked!!

(I will have to sneak a peak at mine, still in their boxes, just in case...since it's going to be a long time before installation....)

Thanks for the good heads up

Yay, finally moving forward again on your build!!!

Great news greenfish,
I read your post this morning, then off I went to my electrician and dropped my new lights off, do you think I opened a box to check...no....and yep you guessed it an hour later I had a phone all one of them is damaged
Do you think I could have learnt a lesson

oh no gogo - how many of your lights were damaged? What happens now? You have to go get new ones?

Yeah T,
I did write on my thread, they have ordered another birds nesty thing in, rusty has installed the rest of the light and will put the replacement one up when I get it tomorrow, I hope!

Gee if you get it tomorrow that will be great Gogo. Strange that we both have light issues - definitely a warning out there for people to check them out!! Mine are glass ones, and it's the glass itself that is damaged - a bit pockmarked. Does no one do quality control anymore??

Went to the house early this morning and OMG the drainage is done, downpipes done, tanks connected. No one even working on site (this was around 8:30) so they did it all in one day! Amazing. Tire tracks and disturbed earth everywhere for all the digging they did and a few random pipes sticking up out of the ground which I assume will get levelled off in the future and become drains??

The gaps in my roofline are almost done and it looks ugly took some pics with my phone only so will add them soon if the quality turned out ok. No idea if the floor polisher started or not, but I'm going with not so I don't get disappointed

Oh yeah I keep forgetting to mention that I discovered this box of ugly cheap and nasty door stops at the house. Was so disappointed, pay more for a quality throughout custom build then they try to put these ugly plastic old fashioned door stops in, so we have been looking into nicer ones. Feel a bit pathetic (but not enough to change my mind) imagine upgrading doorstops for goodness sakes!! Must take a pic of the uglies next time I am there so you can understand my disgust..

I actually saw some nice door stops in bunnings and they were $4 each, I have no idea what we get but will happily upgrade if they are crappy

Some pics as promised

This one shows the infill part in the ceiling - I don't know the correct name but the bit in the roof near the front door- which still needs to be painted. I'm thinking Paperbark - which is a close match to our bricks, and is what the downpipes will be - rather than the Jasper which is our roof colour

Tanks in place and the lovely winter morning sun shining on my bedroom

Do my eyes deceive me?? Tanks connected!! yay!

lovely. And I can see that winter morning sun streaming in the windows in the lounge area too. It will be such a comfortable house, well done. Love your large bricks too. As for painting the in-fill area above the door... if it is a close match great but if it is a bit different then I would be inclined to not try to match it and go the Jasper instead... just my thoughts...

I think it will be worth me waiting to see how the downpipes come up and then deciding maybe?

Thanks for your lovely comments too

oh, the downpipes will be Dune. Yes, definitely wait and see how they look. If you already have Dune in your colour scheme then should be fine to do the in-fill though...

Is Dune the same as paperbark??

I was just about to write maybe the same colour as downpipes
No your downpipes are paperbark aren't they, dune is different.

Looks great. Are you on full tank water like us?

um, yes, that would be my brain freeze. paperbark, I meant paperbark.

Thanks GOGO & KIWI

Yep we have opted out of town water, and for now don't even have to pay for it to go past our block which is great.

We will also have our own septic, not sure when that work will start. You have septic too don't you kiwi? Did you go standard type or sand filtered? We were going sand, but have recently downgraded as we found out more information that it may not be that worthwhile paying the extra to go the sand filter.

Ummm, not sure. It is gravity fed into reed beds. The grasses suck it all up after the bacteria has done its thing in the tank..then gravity takes it down pipes with small holes to bark covered beds.
Where the grasses are.

So we are on own water and own septic.
So if there is any problems with town stuff, we are self sufficient!!
