We have - Dual Rollers in minor bedrooms, the E - Screen (day screen one) with Romans in the master and Plantation shutters in rumpus, meals bathroom/ensuite and theatre and sheers and drapes in formal lounge - still deciding what to get for my laundry - prob a dual roller too! All up cost around $12k

No - I don't think they have to match IMHO i prefer when things aren't an exact match as it looks fake... I like a mix of things! I think what you have in mind sounds good - you can always put something white on the table to pick up and mirror the white you have used elsewhere!

Yes we do - DH installed it himself - as long as it's a tiled roof and not Colorbond. Will work fine.

Sorry for the delay mate. See photo below - taken on iPhone so let me know if not clear enough I can email through some decent quality You will see - Surfmist - Garage door, Front doors, fascia, gutter, downpipes, flashing, cedar cladding and the white on the porch is all Surfmist. Shale Grey are th...

Hi Guys, Not sure of anyone can help. I have purchased a couple of old pieces of furniture off eBay. I am wanting to match the finish to my new furniture which is a 2 pack black painted finish. Does anyone know where in Melbourne that I could take the pieces to for spraying? If anyone has recommenda...

Check this document out - it explains what has to be done to your house at different levels of bushfire prone /ember zone rating. From this you should be able to determine what you require vs. the standard inclusions and what you upgrades you are paying for: http://www.buildingcommission.com.au/reso...

Hi There We have similar colours on our facade - we used Surfmist for our gutters/fascia and downpipes, our front doors, our porch feature projection and our garage door. We used Shale Grey for timber posts and also our windows are Anodic Grey which looks exactly like Shale Grey. I can post a photo ...

Hi Mqtutor - we built in the Wyndham area - same as Point Cook council and the assest protection is $0 with Wyndham - yep FREE - so no need to stress about extra charges. Carlisle (From memory when we built) will provide a cheque on settlement for any damage that they cause during the build to the f...

Yes we did it during our build - our HT and all bedrooms go back to the study where it's hooked up to the internet - we watch our movies in the HT room from our PC which is in our Study room. Better to get done during build IMO.

Yes - it was 149mm step down. We used 100mmx100mm treated pine for our posts and bearers - the decking slats were 22mm think - DH just used treated pine fence pailing to chock up the bearers on the porch - this made it the right height to make it flush - but also raised the post off the concrete so ...

The step up/down won't matter - we just decked our front porch and extended it out past the concrete base by another 5 metres. We just made everything (bearers etc) level at the height of the step - DH found it easier on the actual concrete then when he had to do posts into the ground! Hope this hel...

Hi buildingbee, I have asked a similar question before, and ended up going with concrete to the alfresco for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it meant that the Alfresco could be used from day 1 - if it were just dirt, it would be out of action until we had decking done. Secondly, many people told us t...

8055 with all upgrades - i.e refrig cooling, timber laminate upgrades, data cabling, down lights, caesarstone, cat 4 brick upgrades, bifold door and window upgrades.

I find that in soooo many google searches for something housey related numerous threads come up in my search... this is how I got on to H1 in the first place... may be you were on at a peak time of everyone seraching housy stuff! i.e after/during the renovators program or something like that?

Congrats CBPH, we had Rhiannon as well. It's easy to go nuts with upgrades when you see all those beautiful shiny things on display at Spectra :wink: You walk in & it's "Oh, I want that tap, oh I want that rangehood, I want I want I want.." LOL On a different topic - anyone recently b...

When we moved in I had the neighbours bricks strewn all over our boundary and the fencer said that he couldn't fence until it was moved. If you call Bluestone office - Christina should be able to give you the name/number of the people who own the block -thats how I got our neighbours details. I woul...

Also - a would be thief wouldn't look at your house from the street and say "I bet their manhole is in their garage - I'll choose this house!" I think if you take precautionary measures by having the deadbolt on the internal access door - you'll be pretty safe :)

Def King here too - I am a very restless sleeper - when we had the Queen DH was covered in bruises - I even gave him a black eye by head butting him once - that's how restless I am. I don't feel DH getting up for work now which has helped me immensely - this could also be the type of mattress that w...

Yep this is correct - Casesarstone doesn't come in thickness of 40mm - only 20mm and some colours are 30mm. We have the same as you - 20mm thickness with the 40mm edge. Hope this helps!
