Looks like a great plan! Any progress over the weekend? My hubby met with the ss yesterday and we're still waiting to see how they are going to fix our living room window. Apparently he's going to let us know by weds. Hopefully it will be done quickly What happened with the window? Hope it is an easy and quick fix. x Re: Building with Dennis Family Homes 407Apr 11, 2017 11:39 am rtforresters Magavin Hehe I had to have a little giggle at this. It's the exact reason I chose not to have mirrored robes and most people think I'm crazy I'm not Chinese or anything but it's my understanding that mirrors reflect the energy and too much energy bouncing around is not conducive to a peaceful environment so may effect sleep hey, thanks the explanation. I just wanted to have full length mirrors. I guess my kids wont be sleeping well i think i need to read up on it to reverse it with something From what I understand, it really only becomes an issue if you are sharing a room, so if its for your kids and they aren't sharing it 's totes fine! I don't really know much about it but I reckon with all these things, a large pinch of salt doesn't go astray! Besides, it totally doesn't count, if you didn't knowingly plan the room the way it is. That's my two cents anyway. =) It will be a beautiful family home, a sanctuary and that's all that matters.

They have put cement sheeting above the windows when the windows are supposed to be just under the eaves. They need to move it up and get rid of the cement sheeting. It's going to be a huge job Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Building with Dennis Family Homes Re: Building with Dennis Family Homes 409Apr 11, 2017 12:21 pm Lenz88 rtforresters Magavin Hehe I had to have a little giggle at this.

That's a big mistake. Wouldn't worry about the mirrored wardrobe doors. It's all personal choice. Didn't mean to stress you out. Love your lights.

Thanks Rondy. They will be getting a lengthy review from us after all this. Our site supervisor has said his manager told him not to fix it and pressure us to accept it which is quite appalling when they have clearly made a mistake. Our ss has said to his manager that they don't have a choice as they have to build to our plans coz if we take them to court they'll lose. We just dont know how long this fix will take. Im just over building and will most likely never build again and definitely won't be recommending them after our shocking build.

It doesn't matter who you build with there is always the possibility that something may go wrong. As long as the house is well built in the end...
