And those retaining walls look great and I love your colour choices!! Looking forward to following along again Be careful with 600x600 tiles. We have them in our living areas (or we will in another day or two lol) but we went with 300x300 in the wet areas. mainly because most tilers just dont know how to lay the larger tiles and make them work without ugly cuts to get the fall in them.

Fun weekend ahead... Contracts appointment in 2 weeks, CLE just sent it with no issues and also advises if needed to seek professional opinion before the contract appointment!! Unfortunately no idea when land is going to settle, paperwork was sent off mid March although I do not really mind as I need to keep saving with so many expenses coming up ;( Second Build, this time with Carlisle 2016, can't wait!

Re: Building Canterbury with Carlisle!! 33May 01, 2016 9:40 am mirz you are on fire, that's one great list of upgrades. did you get free refrigerated cooling promo? No, ours was just before the new promo. We did compare the two promos but to get new promo was an extra 26k and we ended up upgrading a fair bit during colors so felt the 26k was better use somewhere else. I heard refrigerated cooling is more expensive to run so we're getting split air systems instead. Second Build, this time with Carlisle 2016, can't wait!
