Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 24, 2010 9:16 pm i was thrilled to swing by the house today to see the brickies have been hard at work. slight delays due to rain midweek. the internal walls are all marked out and so hopefully by this time next week we will have the internals done. http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/ad299/sharky55_shan/oct245.jpg close up of the bricks 2 course limestone triella by brikmakers http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/ad299/sharky55_shan/oct246.jpg the rear of the house bedroom 3 and the back door http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/ad299/sharky55_shan/oct244.jpg bedroom 2 bathroom and laundry doors http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/ad299/sharky55_shan/oct243.jpg http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/ad299/sharky55_shan/oct241.jpg from the front of the house quick question. i had to change my laminate on may pantry (as i was having horizontal and it would have a join) so i decided to change the kitchen handles. i brought them all they are all standard size except 2 on the pantry are 44cm long. my building company has told me i will have to pay for them to install my handles $7 per handle (thats how much my handles cost!!!) do you think this is unreasonalbe to charge this as it is no extra work and i am delivering the handles to the cabitnet maker??
