I love the look of the skillion front especially with the sleek black Mazda 6 parked out the front of it I LOVE mazdas! *ahem* I like the cement boulder thing you have as a feature in front of your front window too.. I was thinking of getting something similar except more of a granite boulder like you see in national parks either that or a nice grass tree. Very good choice of carpet colour too.. not too dark or light.. just right for the best look & for best stain hiding. I love Caitlin's painting too. Very impressive painting of the tree there good use of the lighter brown there to provide some good texture and definition to the tree. I like the idea of using those flowers too nice and tactile she'll love to walk up to and touch them when she's older.

In full sunlight it looks light purple/violet, normal light purple and low light - dark purple/dark blue. Nice though. That stone thing is a water feature, just have to plug it in Mazda is okay but shame its missing four cylinders: the SS goes much harder.

Missus woke up at 3am because she though she could hear water running. She went out to the kitchen and there was water puddling in the island bench and running out the front. She woke me up so I could have a look and water was coming out from under the sink, under the mixer tap. I ran out and shut off the main, we mopped it up with towels and went back to sleep. Come morning we've noticed that the water leaking has affected a small area of our floorboards in the kitchen and dining area. I'm stumped why it happened. So we could have a shower before work, I removed the mixer tap, tightened the braided lines to the mixer and reattached it to the water lines and it's no longer leaking Called Coral who said they'd follow it up and that I should call the plumber and now the the CM and plumber are coming out to have a look this arvo. It could've been much worse, we could have slept the whole night through. We're also thanking fate that the plumber never turned up to install our new mixer tap otherwise I doubt they would have covered us for an owner supplied item. I've got another plumber coming Sunday to install the new mixer but I will cancel until everything is sorted. The damage to the foorboards is that they are slightly lifting from the joins.

Missus woke up at 3am because she though she could hear water running. On a lighter note......perhaps be prepared for Caitie to wake you again at 3am with the sound of waters......breaking.....

Any baby news yet ??? Re: Coral: Hamilton 278 - Build Completed: MOVED IN PICS UP 311May 07, 2010 10:05 pm NOTHING (sorry forgot about this place) Coral washed their hands of it (pun intended) and palmed it off to Blanco who did absolutely nothing about it (they sent the defective tap to Blanco for testing). And guess what? The new Blanco tap we were given as a replacement cracked open completely and was leaking water after just 6 months of use! It cracked along the weld joint underneath. It doesn't make sense as there are only two of us here and we normally use the dishwasher. I have it under the sink as a momento, I may send it to Blanco with a letter discussing my concerns about their tapware. Even though it was just out of the 6 month warranty period, Coral palmed it off again telling me to deal with Blanco directly. I ended up buying a better quality tap from Bunnings and wearing the cost of getting a plumber out to install it. Thankfully after a couple of hot summer months, the floorboards/slab dried out completely and settled. Now you can't notice that anything happened. The water tank pump is also playing up. And the baby is excellent. Growing so fast its amazing.
