Though we don't have a door we tried to set it up so it isn't 'open'. Also the standard layout of the kitchen. Everything is centered on benches (cooktop, sink) which means it looks symmetrical but you waste a lot of bench space. We're one of those building on a tiny block 300m2. We tried to keep the eaves where possible, I noticed a lot of houses looked odd and only just recently realised it's because their are no eaves! So many of the plans also had one long corridor down the house! With limited space designers need to minimize corridors! I'm hoping we have avoided our house feeling like one long corridor...

You're ambidextrous.... Left handedness is a recessive gene. My mum dad and sister and me are all left handed and none of my kids are, but they are ambidextrous just like me.

Saw some lovely examples of it ripped and twisted after the June storms. But I agree timber can get scabby looking. I prefer the supersix look myself as I dislike the gap that gets left under cb fencing. But we will be putting up about 12 m of colorbond sometime in the next 2 years. I'd like to say within the next 6 months but I won't get my hopes up. Anyway back on topic. Building PLAN dislikes? Anyone else? Re: Whats your Biggest hate in New building plans 65Jan 03, 2013 10:55 am I like colorbond, Ive never seen faded colorbond... isn't that the point? I feel more secure with colorbond that I would if we have wooden fences. I also wouldn't want maintenance of wood. In saying that our colorbond is in limestone retaining walls so we don't have gaps underneath or that solid fence look as the limestone walls break it up so that may influence my preference Re: Whats your Biggest hate in New building plans 66Jan 03, 2013 12:21 pm ![]() ![]() i am actually left handed..as is hubby, but none of our kids are..weird ay! but i use my right...................bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

So I am getting a small chest of drawers and a bottle of Dettol Sanitiser until we decide what to do. This is only if one uses the WC while the other is in the Shower - I have kept both rooms seperate. I have a 'silly' Butler's Pantry - but it is the actual Walk in Pantry that was in the plan, have just moved the Dishwasher and Fridges in there and added a sink. Hubby hates anything on the kitchen preparation and cooking areas. My Kitchen is landlocked with an Island Bench ; not a fan - I prefer a U shape with a window, but couldn't do it in this plan I have increased the length of the bench from 2.4 to 2.8. I would really appreciate if if you can complete the poll about windows, if you have a story I would love to hear it.
