For us, our tiles were delayed a week because of the waterproofer not doing his job in the time he advised, so tiles will be delivered on Mon/Tues next week and then tiling begins Tues/Wed. I don't mind delays that are unavoidable, like weather or allowing extra time for a slab to cure or whatever, but when it is some person who says three separate times that they have or will have something completed and then doesn't as well as not telling anyone that it's not going to get finished in time... well.. that, really angers me (keeping language PG rated ). We're not in any great rush as we are going away for a month in October, so don't want it to complete during that... but still. Going to see my parents, who live 10 minutes away from our build, on Sunday. So I will pay the site a visit even though it's supposed to be on lock-up stage.. and will see what I can see Paddington 29 @ Blue Horizon Estate (Lot 105, Wattleridge Crescent, North Kellyville) Our Build Progress Blog: http://light487.wordpress.com/ Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 10611Sep 03, 2015 11:59 am Cat83 After speaking with Clarendon today they have agreed that I can upgrade our sink to an undermount. We did have to pay an admin fee on top, but I guess its something we should have done in the first place and is also going to cost more and may not be possible after. Just waiting on the final costing and variation before we decide Hey Cat. Very interested to hear what they come back to you with on this one. Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 10612Sep 03, 2015 12:04 pm For those that have recently upgraded their air cons, are they still offering MyAir3? I heard it might be/soon to be discontinued.

Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 10617Sep 03, 2015 3:41 pm For those waiting to see pics of my gemini silver house you can stop waiting. Lizzy I think you were one of them? Our painters finally showed up today, almost 2 weeks late and they delivered the wrong paint. After all my nights staying awake worrying about my paint colour looking purple. i jumped at the chance to keep the new paint colour. (for those who remember my cladding was painted wrong too. Turns out they had the colour selection for the house down the street in our file) So we are now getting Winter Ice instead of Gemini Silver. Hope I like Winter Ice now haha. Sorry everyone Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 10618Sep 03, 2015 3:46 pm 1st time builders For those waiting to see pics of my gemini silver house you can stop waiting.

The explanation was basically that the difference between the ceramic and induction is just a large amount. Apparently they get the ceramic cooktops really cheap as they buy 100s of them a year. I still call BS but couldn't be bothered with it anymore. She said that the new model I mentioned is a $1800 upgrade or something, and that I should just stick with what I've got as if it is discontinued, then it will get upgraded to the new one anyway, at no cost, as opposed to paying extra now. I'm just tired over it.. want this stage to finish already... Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 10620Sep 03, 2015 5:41 pm bmitchel So I spoke to the CSC today and asked about the cooktop.

There is nothing special about these and I imagine literally every stair installer will be able to do this. 1 3132 The two 15mm holes are obviously not compliant.
