Hope they look ok Love the tiled bases! Just wasn't as keen on the extra cost haha! We're they standard with the express build? Are the tiled ones more expensive than the ceramic bases ? Re: Our Simonds Build - Leon/Westbury 203Sep 13, 2016 10:25 pm Marshall5858 Halcyon Marshall5858 I can't believe I had this tile in my hands.. Kicking myself that I didn't choose it now Noooo! Haha what did you choose for your splash back Marsh!? I had a quick flick through your thread but didn't see it (I could be blind though) We were going to have no splash added by Simonds and just have a smoked glass added later but apparently we have to have, 'something' so they added a plain white standard tile, I have no idea what size it is but I'm hoping it won't be up for long. These look so good ! Ours are boring white splash back tiles ... Maybe I can get a different splash back down the track Re: Our Simonds Build - Leon/Westbury 204Sep 13, 2016 10:32 pm matalee More photos.

They were for us but I wasn't too stressed about it, the ceramic base will be easier to clean at least haha!

Just not sure what stage it gets done at!

Just not sure what stage it gets done at! Not a silly question at all Our painting was done after fit out (when the carpenter puts the arcs, skirts etc on). He still has to do one more coat but said he's coming back to do it closer to PCI. viewtopic.php?uid=71435&f=31&t=82862&start=40 Re: Our Simonds Build - Leon/Westbury 213Sep 18, 2016 10:18 pm matalee Halcyon Maybe a silly question, but has your paint been done yet?

I did get a list of the standard time line they go by but I can't find it! Luckily I'll have followed plenty of builds by the time we start and I'll be an expert can't wait to see the finished result, pretty sure we picked the same paint Building Simonds Hudson viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80646 Re: Our Simonds Build - Leon/Westbury 214Sep 19, 2016 5:05 pm Halcyon Ahh thank you!

Luckily I'll have followed plenty of builds by the time we start and I'll be an expert can't wait to see the finished result, pretty sure we picked the same paint Was it Aura? We chose that but then at the last minute I changed my mind. I changed it to 'Quiet' thinking it was a nice shade of white. I was wrong. Choosing a colour from a computer screen wasn't such a great idea. Anyway, it's turned out to be cream but we actually really like it.....now.....it took a few days to go from hating it to liking it haha viewtopic.php?uid=71435&f=31&t=82862&start=40 Re: Our Simonds Build - Leon/Westbury 216Sep 20, 2016 5:51 pm cooper229 Any estimated dates for completion? They're saying PCI is going to be the 6/10 but our awesome SS went & had a baby so is on paternal leave (how rude! ). Things have slowed down since he's been on leave so I'm not sure we'll make that date. We don't have much left to do, floor coverings, finishing the plumbing, shower screens & driveway. Hope we are close to that date. viewtopic.php?uid=71435&f=31&t=82862&start=40 Re: Our Simonds Build - Leon/Westbury 217Sep 20, 2016 6:08 pm Oh you must post some more pics matalee, I do love seeing the progress Building with Simonds in S.A Re: Our Simonds Build - Leon/Westbury 219Sep 21, 2016 2:52 pm Photos of our progress Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Our laundry tap leaked all through the cabinets so it has to be replaced Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Every time I visit the house now I just want to stay.

It looks really lovely Building with Simonds in S.A Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 18446 of course there are legal avenues. You've already mentioned it. Sue them. I find it odd that lawyers wouldnt be willing to take on the case, given CCT evidence and… 1 24020 "Losers" "humanity" "off time" "your" "top notch" "love symbol" Sounds like ponzo is done using other people's toilets 36 24137 |
