Hi @Ozshaz . Thank you. We have now moved into our new home as of last Sunday and we still have plenty of landscaping work to do. I will take some driveway pics and upload that sometime this week. The Grohe shower system is honestly really amazing. We love using the rainshower and also the handheld....

Bathtub, wall taps, kids bathroom basin, water pump for all water taps pressure in house and outside taps, track light above kitchen ...

Thanks @Ozshaz The rangehood is Sirius. The exact model is linked below. We went with the SEM7 external motor as we specifically wanted a wall mount external motor and also the SEM 7 wall mount model met our extraction rate criteria and looked the best. Browse through their website below and they ha...

Rangehood and external wall motor have been installed today. The rangehood is big and so far on level 3 and 4 it’s a little loud when standing in front of it. We are hoping that once the place is filled with furniture the noise will die down a bit or at least that our extraction requirements will be...

The tilers (praise their hard work) successfully cut and installed the 2nd tile on top. It was nerve wrecking as the tile is very heavy and also thin. They still have to grout and also cut at each end of the tile at bottom for power points to be installed there which is also nerve wrecking so they h...

Faucets have been installed in scullery, kitchen island and laundry. We went with a semi-pro faucet from Methven for scullery as that is where our dishwasher is located and we went with a slightly wider and longer sink there for our day to day dishes cleaning compared to kitchen and laundry both of ...

Your flooring is beautiful. You've sold us on the Sonos. Two units ordered, 1 for upstairs Activity room, 1 for downstaris lounge/kitchen. Thanks for the info! Hehe. It starts off with purchasing 1 Sonos speaker. Then you buy another and then another and before you know it your house will have Sono...

Hi @dan_walls, Thank you. I am glad you like the house design and materials selection as well. First of all just like you we decided very early on going into a new build that we want the natural finish that gracefully silvers off under weather without applying any colour stains to our cladding or de...

Congratulations on your build ! Looks awesome ! Very good choices ! Just a quick one, I am assuming your sparky has not spray painted your external switch-socket (in addition to conduit) ? I hope not as its not a good practise to do it both in terms of voiding the warranty as well its not safe to u...
Thanks. Hehe you raised a very good point and no luckily only the conduit is spray painted black. The external double p...

Looking amazing. I'm interested in your Sonos. You're placing one speaker at each end of your island bench, did I read that right? Your King furniture choices are making me swoon, those rooms will look magnificent! Yeah we will stand these vertically one on each end of the induction cooktop benchto...

Tilers have almost finished laying floor tiles in both bathrooms and guest WC. We love it. The big size tiles laid in 1/3 staggered bond layout looks great and the light colour of tiles on floor should avoid showing any water staying marks on the floor in shower area which our tiles supplier strongl...

My first Sonos was a play5. They are the best single speaker in the family. Even better as a stereo pair. I’ve got just about everything they sell, so I’m officially a Sonos-oholic. Great purchase, you will not find another Sonos like it. I agree Steve. These are our first Sonos purchase of any kin...

Deck framing finished around the back of the house. Today the builders were doing deck framing around the front main entry exit and laundry/garage exit area. Decking timber will be delivered on Thursday. We went with Accoya for decking timber coated at the factory with a single coat of Wood X clear ...
