Square set for us too :D Looking at the info for the CSR shadowset, it seems to me the flush installation is trying to achieve the square set look at a supposed lower cost.

As for the scratches on your laminate top, scratches, chips and other markings on the benchtop surface that are not clearly visible under normal lighting conditions are not considered a defect. If you can see the scratch from a distance of 1500mm under normal lighting conditions then it is consider...

Quite sure. HIA Guide To Kitchen & Bathroom Construction - Edition 2 Section 5.0 Benchtops Section 5.4.8 Scratches, Chips and Markings ( Page 19) Well you're the expert so I'll take your word for it :D (plus the fact I don't have access to that document :wink: :lol: )

Well as we know, as designed and as constructed, are usually two different things....

Have you tried Archicentre ( http://www.archicentre.com.au )? I've attended one of their seminar nights and they offer quite a few services. They'll refer you to a local architect who will come up with a design plan for you.

I agree with the above comments. It'll be best to have someone qualified to physically inspect the property.

I thought the pumps that top up with mains water only fill up to a certain level and not the entire tank. :? :?

brittany - depending on how much. talking to our broker - is said banks are pretty lenient if you have 18-19% deposit - but any less and you're up for mortgage insurance. It's also a sliding scale - the less then deposit, the greater the % of the loan as mortgage insurance you will have to pay. Her...

Didn’t we have a “stud finder” thread before????? :? :? I know I had a lovely time with it!!!!!!!!!! :wink: Anyway, when you find the stud, send him to me! :shock: :lol: Obviously you must not be a good stud finder if you can't find one yourself :lol: :lol: :lol:

Congrats, the house looks great as as everyone before has said, no need to worry about the planning, budgeting and building. At least you now have a definite move in date compared to those of us who are building and still waiting for a handover date. Whilst, it might be a downside of not being able ...

Thanks Dna, I now have to go and but new saucepans, as it has an induction cooktop...Gotta love guilt free shopping :D :D ...and of course a girl needs new towels, to replace the old tatty ones :wink: as well as a new dinner setting because the old one is chipping and while we are there may as well...

Was my PM received? It was sent on Friday morning.

As we're FHO, we've never had to worry about insurance for the property so just hoping to receive advice from more knowledgeable people out there. Basically, what should you be looking for when comparing companies and what should the sum insured be? I've tried the construction calculators, and the f...

OK who are the big 4? I know commonwealth is one. but the others? CBA, NAB, Westpac, ANZ

I'm not sure if this is a free report from Choice or whether you have to be a member to read it, but I found this article helpful (hopefully the link works) http://www.choice.com.au/viewArticle.aspx?id=105716&catId=100292&tid=100008&p=1&title=Test%3a+Home+and+contents+insurance The ...

Brissierenovators, it says they did a scratch test for hard floors but then did not list the results. I've just took a look at the website, and I'm guessing the reason why there was no results for the scratch test is that "All models scored 100% in the scratch test." Looking at the breakdown of sco...

I'm not sure of the exact requirements but it must be located a certain distance away from the sink. The holding capacity of the sink also plays a part. It shouldn't be a problem if you have a wide vanity.

I agree that the pull handles look nice. May I ask what are the security concerns with them vs trilocks? Also is there a significant cost difference between them?

So your hubby likes tri-locks for "security reasons" although he's doesn't know if tri-locks are more secure or not :lol: :lol: Another thing I'd be concerned with would be the force required to open the door. If it's too hard for kids, I suspect they would forcefully open the door by charging into ...
