According to the old eligibility test, as I've copied and paste above from SRO website,: 'in the case of owner builders, commenced construction (laying of foundations) of a home on their land in Victoria' Sorry...I'm still a little confused :? I'm in the ACT....about to settle on a block of land in...

Hi! I'm not sure how much help this will be, as we are still finalising our house plans, including kitchen design etc. But it seems like we will be having a similar colour scheme to you. Our island cabinetry, entertainment units etc will be in 'Wenge' and our benchtop will be a combination of stainl...

this is probably old news to you guys...but http://www.mattblatt.com.au seem to have some really cool bar stools for decent prices! these ones are pretty cool... 8)

Hi guys Not sure if this is the right place to post this question, but it is kind of an "aesthetics" query - so I hope I can get some thoughts! :D We have been finalising our selections for our kitchen/bathroom joinery etc and are going to be using Caesarstone in the kitchen as well as bathrooms. Or...

Thanks for all the responses!! :D I guess we were just a little worried as we had always intended to have different selections in the kitchen/bathroom/ensuite...but after speaking to some joiners, they all seemed to recommend keeping them the same! But, I think we'll go with what we originally inten...

Hi! I was wondering if anyone has happened to come across these tiles or has any thoughts on them? From my very limited knowledge, apart from the cost, they seem pretty impressive as an option for floor/wall tiling... The basic information i've found: only 3mm thick sizes up to 1m x 3m extremely str...

Soo...i take it that noone has heard of Kerlite then?? :?

Hi Just wondering if anyone happens to know where I can find floor tiles (probably rectified porcelain) in a 1200mm x 600mm format?? Preferably I'm looking for tiles than can be used in both an indoor and outdoor application... Any thoughts or recommendations would be great!! :D Thanks heaps, Adam

Anyone.....? :? Can anyone suggest some places to look at in Sydney that might have large size porcelains for a reasonable price? (I'm in Canberra, but planning to make a few trips to Sydney..)

Hi Just wondering if anyone has ever come across a flooring product called Pandomo and made by Ardex: http://www.pandomo.de/en/ It's some sort of concrete based self levelling screed, which can be coloured and finished in basically any way you want - an alternative to polished concrete I guess? We h...

Hi Just wondering if anyone has ever come across a flooring product called Pandomo and made by Ardex: http://www.pandomo.de/en/ MOVED TO "BUILDING A NEW HOUSE" FORUM :D

i loveeee the look of those tiles! ::lol:: exactly what we're looking for as well!! unfortunately Canberra doesn't have any tile outlet type places like that ::cry:: might have to make a trip or two to sydney and hopefully get as good a deal!!

definitely the seta avario! :P #2!

Hi guys Hoping to get some advice on options as an alternative to large format tiles. I love the look of polished concrete, along with the associated benefits, however early on in our project I lost that argument with the missus and now we're probably too far down the track! We're effectively not to...

Why not hone what you have... or for that matter grind and hone. Grey polished concrete can also be stained to a variety of colours :wink: Onc_artisan Hmm...any issues with grinding/honing a slab which wasn't intended to be grinded..? I *think* it's only 28MPa... ::dizzy:: Also, if it was stained, ...

Well, looks like i have convinced my better half that polished/honed concrete is a good option! ::wink:: So now, I just need to make sure that it's a viable option with our standard "grey concrete" slab. I'm not sure if I'll be able to get a batch report on the concrete we used, but is the...

The concrete should not turn brown at all. It should if anything come up on the lighter side of things. You should be able to get your batch report of the concrete, as all concrete jobs are logged. Ok, so I've managed to establish that my slab is in fact 32MPa and that the concrete was supplied by ...

Hi all :) We're about to finalise our carpet selection and are 99% set on this carpet: http://www.cavbrem.com.au/tools/search-products/product-details.aspx?code=3008M Just wondering if anyone has come across this carpet before or had experience with any similar carpet? We think it 'ticks all the box...

Thanks for all the responses guys!! ::lol:: To be honest, when we first saw the carpet and managed to get a sample and take it home, we had absolutely no idea it was a "shag pile" carpet - we thought it was a "plush" (which is what we originally were after) - it wasn't until I di...
