So great that you are getting very close to the end with the front fence work. Your place is just devine. We have been flat out this end trying to get everything together. xoox T SunshineT's Build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=34585 Designs start: 4/12/09 DA: 5/7/11 Demo: 22/12/11 Slab: 24/2/12 Keys: 31/8/12 Re: Sabs4 Villina with Contemporary Fascade 370Aug 30, 2011 1:51 pm SunshineT OMG - your place looks great!! I really love the pendants - definitely my style too - and the way they reflect on the nice shiny kitchen cupbaords. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the alfresco outdoor furniture and colour arrangement (red, grey and white used again in the Study Nook - very classy!). I have been incredibly busy, but will up date my thread soon. xoxoxo T I definitely have to agree - the alfresco outdoor furniture and colours are so classy - top notch! Great job on the house! I'm curious, where did you source your outdoor furniture? Was it a good experience overall? Re: Sabs4 Villina with Contemporary Fascade 371Jan 23, 2012 2:01 pm Havent been on here for ages. I have just called to get our Termite inspection done and wanted to see if anyone else shopped around. Here in NSW the cost is: $195.00 for the inspection and then $5.50 per l.metre. We have 72lm so the cost is $396.00 = $591.00. This is by Termguard. I asked if we had to go through them and was told that we can use someone else as long as they have a termguard licence. Im sure a Termite licence would be the same .. will report back. ** Report back** Basically decided to go with Termguard. I called around and the prices are pretty much in line with the other two quotes I received. I started reading the warranty booklet and threw in the towel - too much to read , blah,blah,blah. Will go the safe and lazy route and stay with them.

Thanks, we are pleased with the result and definately enjoy the $ saving compared to kitchen. Hi sabs - Interesting that you did the kitchen yourself. You mean the outdoor kitchen, right? We have just last week decided something similar. Our builder will do the bricks, plumbing rough-in and provide the sink etc. We were going to deal with the kitchen guy to do the cabinets and stone bench... but now I am wondering about doing it ourselves too. Our budget is REALLy tight after recent disaster. So which components did you get from Ikea? Did the builder do the pipe for the sink etc. first? How did you do it? Looks amazing btw...

Bench top is ceaserstone also arranged through Ikeas but through another supplier. M did the plumbing and we connected the tap . Thanks sabs. We are VERY interested in what you did here. So M did the plumbing, then you bought the sink, taps, drawers and caesarstone via Ikea and assembled it all yourself?! Wow - that is great. How much did that all cost? (excluding the gas cooktop).

I will start building soon myself. just wondering where you got the fencing done and also i noticed you will be getting a sliding gate? whereabouts and if you know what its gonna cost u, because I am looking for one too. and do it myself because obviously builders are going to be waayy too expensive. I really need to get info on sliding gates, as our house is sort of facing a busy road and i want my privacy.. im so glad for you and the colours are looking great! i think i have picked out the same colours.. is that the paperbark you have on?
