More cool stuff!!!! Love the comfy feel of your library! But I recall you have another library upstairs? viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75739&p=1299716#p1299716 Re: Simonds Avalon Adelaide 1369Apr 29, 2016 11:06 am Thanks Peeps! LOL yeah, we have the makings for the library/study almost done. Just need to hang the drapes and find some nice bookshelves that fit in the alcove/bulkhead. Yeah we've got another open space upstairs ... more like the 'guitar' lounge. That space is boringly empty right now, not a priority. Will furnish properly later. Re: Simonds Avalon Adelaide 1370Apr 29, 2016 11:26 am Liking your new furniture TC and you've got me thinking of something like that chaise, (is that what you call it?)but in a fabric for the main bedroom, was going to go chair & footstool but liking that look. Custom build Northern NSW viewtopic.php?f=31&t=72217 Re: Simonds Avalon Adelaide 1371Apr 29, 2016 1:10 pm Thankies Tracey, yes it's a chaise I wanted fabric too coz I don't like skins, rather let animals keep them to live in. But this one was so pretty and soft and it's not real - it's 'pleather' Gosh I love my house! I could put any crap in it and it would look fantastic to me I'm not loving my lamp table for my lounge though -- that's all wrong, blah. Here's summat cute! I got these light cord bling things over a year ago for lights that I never used on. The look great on my kitchen island pendants -- bring all the mixed metal colours together across the whole living space.

I was wandering around the interwebs, and saw this hilarious sign to the tradies... and I thought, 'I gotta investigate, this person is so like me'... and so I clicked on it.... and it was you! I nearly died laughing! I don't know how I missed that sign when I was skimming your thread before... I must have skipped that page by accident. OMG! Re: Simonds Avalon Adelaide 1374May 01, 2016 11:15 am You have such eclectic taste TC...and it looks fantastic! Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=75302 Re: Simonds Avalon Adelaide 1376May 02, 2016 1:21 am Hey JJ, no wonder I think you're funny! Eclectic eccentric. Yep definately ... Just snatch and grab whatever I like . And bringing out odd bits that never went with anything but I couldn't part with (chooks!??) hahaha But I love that buffet/hall piece. The relief work on it is so perty! http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/b572/MandyBarlow/Hotel%20California/Buffet_4071_zpse80vsp0h.jpg http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/b572/MandyBarlow/Hotel%20California/Buffet_4073_zpsfflljbia.jpg http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/b572/MandyBarlow/Hotel%20California/LS%20hall_4035_zpspjxmchxr.jpg Re: Simonds Avalon Adelaide 1378May 02, 2016 9:32 pm Ohhhhhhwwwwww Tomcat your place is looking beautiful inside, I love how quirky and fun it is. So warm and inviting. I can't wait to see your gardens get going, your going to do a smashing job. Simonds Avalon Adelaide 1380May 11, 2016 11:24 pm Tks peeps x DISGUSTING experience today. Not builder's fault. Their electrical contractor. At handover, we had no TV points, just holes in wall with wire poking out. After previous concerns, this was not an issue. House won't fall over without TV connection. House could fall over if brick overhang is wider than brick Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ So TV point no-show went on our 'maintenance list' ready for fixing at three months. Simonds gunned our maintenance ... sent out their self-professed 'fk-up fixer'. Mr was happy with his work, told him: "all good, let's just hope we don't need the fk-up, fk-up fixer out now". Fk-up fixer, laffed. A week ago, the electrical company booked their post-fix (TV connection and other small items) appointment with hubby direct. Mr took the day off work today to let them in. He forfeited a full day's income plus re-organized his week so he could take a truck load up north this evening after electrician had been. Electrician was booked for 10am this morn. I get a phone call at 8.45 from the secretary/messenger: Madam: "You are expecting electrician at 10, well he's not coming." Me: "Oh (disappointed) OK, when can he come?" Her: "No one's coming. The supervisor told me its not our fault. You should have picked it up at your handover." Then again, more accusingly:" You should have picked it up at handover, why didn't you see it, didn't you notice you didn't have a TV socket" (I almost heard her sigh ... you know like 'gee, you stupid idiots') That got my back up. So who is this all-knowing Oracle that can comment on my builder's processes? My contract was with my builder and in it was to fit me two TV sockets (of which I have none). I did not appreciate this flukey with the sex appeal of a cigarette butt telling me what I should be looking for when I accept a house. A house that took eight months to build (hundreds of hours of work, thousands of items) as if I notice every spec. My main concern that the walls, roof etc were solid. I was so mad. "And we did fit 'warm white' globes" said Oracle (of course she knows, Oracle knows everything right?) Yes, I put on my maintenance list that we got cool white, not warm white (as specified in my contract). Really, I didn't care about pathetic light globes. They are just globes. But after this ... I'm livid ... they can fit my sockets AND my warm white globes thank you very much! We have since looked at the globes they're got 4000K stamped on them. Sorry love, they're cool white, warm white is 2700k. What a disgusting attitude. Sure we had a few hiccups through our build, but our builder was completely respectful and professional and did a great job rectifying everything. As for these amateurs ... how dare they take the booking with us direct a week earlier, making us believe they're going to make good on what they were paid to do but didn't do right the first time. Then tell us 1.25 hours before agreed time: "nup, sorry, don't feel like doing that now, tuff titties" Builders should really employ and manage their own trades. They would not have these problems.
