We haven't contacted our services companies yet, just too early but absolutely most builders we've talked to have said we'll need a pit. Do you have a plan Rondy? Love to see it Re: Plans! Custom sloping block KDR Melb north - bearers&joi 9Nov 18, 2015 11:27 am Looking forward to seeing your build start pvbuild. I hope the preparation is all going smoothly Re: Plans! Custom sloping block KDR Melb north - bearers&joi 10Nov 18, 2015 11:50 am Getting there, getting there... hoping to go to tender before Christmas, just working on final detailed drawings and engineers right now. See how we go! Would be nice to be out of the ground by Feb-ish next year. Having said that, we've waited 6 years to get to this point, so a few more months isn't that big a deal! Plans have changed a bit since the above too - kitchen is looking heaps better. Re: Plans! Custom sloping block KDR Melb north - bearers&joi 11Nov 18, 2015 4:26 pm Ahh nice! At least it's still progressing. Custom builds are the best but at the same time, they involve the most work. Plans!

Custom build Northern NSW viewtopic.php?f=31&t=72217 Custom sloping block KDR Melb - Updated Plans! 17Dec 07, 2015 2:42 am The plans look awesome, you've got such a big deck and nice open plan area. One thing.. - Do you want/can you fit the dishwasher beside the sink? You've got got your own reasons for having it in the island I'm sure - probably closest to where you need to unstack them? I can just imagine a scenario where you have a pile of dishes to be rinsed and/or stacked, you'd need to turn around to pop them in.. Then again if you have your bins beside the dishwasher that kind of makes sense. Personally I put bin, sink, then dishwasher (scrape, rinse if needed, stack). You can then jam more drawers in your island then or use it for sitting on that side if you are so inclined. Depends if you want stacking or unpacking to be more convenient lol.

Still uhming and arghing, the cabinetry doesn't have to be final yet for the kitchen so we still might move it. OH wants it in the island, I'd probably prefer it under the sink (he tends to spill a lot of water!). So we'll keep negotiating that point Re: Custom sloping block KDR Melb - Updated Plans! 19Dec 07, 2015 10:08 am PVBuild Hey Leksie, the dishwasher was originally under the sink to the left, however because the gap between the island & the wall is only 100cm, we thought it would probably be better placed just behind the sink so the walkway can still be used.
