Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Miss Vintage's - Which Design for Retaining Wall 201Sep 06, 2010 5:51 pm Thanks guys - I emailed more info through before and managed not even to appologise. Now onto the next decision - and I swear - I dont know what I would do without you. Which retaining wall design do you think I should use on my retaining wall being built to hold up the neighbours retaining wall.

They all look great though - could you post the supplier?

Re: Miss Vintage's - Which pattern for retaining wall 219Sep 10, 2010 2:19 pm Hi Miss Vintage, I love reading your postings here and I spent almost good hour reading and looking different interior/color/design for your new home. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your experience with us. We just secured our block and we are leaning towards a good home design with Lorimer Homes. I gathered that you went with them as well. I started contributing in About to start: double storey, Perth forum below and noticed your name viewtopic.php?f=38&t=37937&start=0 Could you please share how do you find Lorimer so far and what made you choose them? They have the best layout for our block and fits perfectly with little modification and love the brochure where they already explain a clear pricing term with their platinum features/pictures and selection. I met with their sales consultant, Joe, and he's quite knowledgeable across different designs I must say. It's just that they are new company and not a single review of Perth people regarding building with Lorimer and would love to hear your feedback. Thank you. Re: Miss Vintage's - Which pattern for retaining wall 220Sep 20, 2010 9:52 am Thanks guys - well I'm back from Vietnam which was amazing and exhausting at the same time but while over there we decided on number 1. I liked 1 or 3 but 1 is probably a bit more classic. So now it's on. No more holidays, no more shopping sprees in Veronica Maine, just saving now! Exhausting but true!
