Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Our Dream Home 61May 17, 2007 7:45 pm Did you look at hydronic heating?
I think it may be pricey to install but economic to run. Anyway, our front door was delivered with the architravces and skirting etc... But at least we had a packer door that was in its place to stop the tourists from coming in and looking around. Am I rude for thinking that? It kind of bothers me to think that someone has been in my house when I didn't invite them. Re: Our Dream Home 62May 17, 2007 9:26 pm Hennig Did you look at hydronic heating?

Hi Hennig, No we didnt look into hydronic heating coz we heard its a bit pricey so we went with what was the norm... We had to meet the supervisor this morning coz there was a minor problem with our bathtub in the ensuite...we are getting a japanese soaker bath which is quite deep - 540mm..the standard ones are from 410mm-500mm...the problem is our bath is next to the window and it will sit higher than the window architrave so now we have to shift the bath away from the window and create a step down...I guess candles can make their home there... The front door goes in tomorrow....I know what you mean...without a door the house is wide open for all to see...even with the front door in, there is the garage entrance Re: Our Dream Home 63May 17, 2007 11:50 pm I think that swivelnecks and stickybeaks are just a part of building new homes.
Sure its not ideal, but as long as they look and don't touch I gues its OK!

You can see its small but deep coz its a Japanese soaker tub....we ordered 2 from http://www.japanesebath.com.au/ you can see there is a lot of space between the tub and the wall on the left..we will be putting a niched wall maybe or just some shelving there for towels...

Sounds like a rare breed of dog (ha joke). I actually went and looked them up after I made that comment. Could only find the basin sets though (reece website). Ensuite size looks big. Looks like you could swing a cat in there and not hit any of the walls. Not that I'd do that. Re: Our Dream Home 73May 23, 2007 10:27 am Quote: Your house looks great lady lice.

Had a bit of a variation again..to the kitchen this time...all of a sudden I thought of pot drawers and checked the plans and there aint any POT DRAWERS!! Where am I gonna put my pots? ...our fault for not paying much attention to the kitchen plans...So I checked the specifications and it says 2 pot drawers in the island bench..hmmm...anyway, sorted it out with the builder ...apparently it was overlooked because we added an island sink which had the plumbing pipe in the way so they changed it to cupboards without telling us....one other thing we had to change was the positioning of the dishwasher..it has to be moved right to the end so that we could add a Blanco Solo Bin inbetween that is flushed with the benchtop....here is a pic of it...thought it would be neater with a lid rather than a bin sitting on the benchtop..the dimensions are about 24cm deep/17cm wide/21cm long....we may get the waste bin system at a later stage ..helps with separating the garbage.. We ordered the bin through Harvey..only $150...have to personally deliver to the carpenter next week...
