Hi
That looks normal mate. There usually a 10cm gap or so where that meet for cleaning and you'll always see the sliver gutter.
Actually your tiles make cutting the angle rather neat so your looks very impressive. We've got the curvy tiles and they look harder to cut them all straight. Or at least that's what I assumed.

And yes, the pipe looks unacceptable, send the photo it to your BC now for addressing now rather then waiting for PCI...
And ask for photos when they complete it so you dont have to necessarily get up a ladder...

Thanks
Mike

Silver lining is called a valley.

Apart from the raised tile (where air-con drainage pipe is located) it looks fine. Water will obviously run downwards (22.5 degree pitched roof) and won't sit around pooling. Roof looks like it’s finished off neatly.


Thanks guys...

Really helpful to get your opinions since houses here are built so differently from my home country so all your help has been greatly appreciated

Can someone please let me know if we get re-imbursed for the water usage during the construction. Our BC asked us for the bills when we went to collect the keys so far she tells me that she is just chasing the accounts department. Its 4 month's since we have moved in.

Yep, you should be. Our BC confirmed this very clearly during the contract session - you should simply provide them with copies of the invoices at handover and the amount is supposed to be deducted from your final payment. No doubt Helen and your BC will sort this one out.

Out of curiosity, how much water got used over that time?


Dam, didn't know this either and assumed it was my cost so I just paid it along with the electricity.

Stiffed again!!
Your back on homeone Zinner! I see you haven't posted in your thread in a while, how is everything going?

We received two bills one for $155 and the second for $282. We just submitted the first one.

Hi Helen could you please follow-up on this too as I'm not getting any response to my emails from our BC, guess its because our files have been sent over to the home maintenance team.

Hi J&C
I am looking into this - will get back to you ASAP.

Is someone able to post a picture of what the 'Valentino Stepped Vessel' Basin looks like? I assumed it was this basin http://www.imagesbylisa.com.au/albums/C ... nsuite.jpg but Google seems to think differently and I was just quoted $165 to upgrade from the basic basin to this... Well at least I think it is this! Are there different models?

Thanks!

I dont have a picture yet, but yes those are the Valentino 420 Stepped Vessel basins, with the Posh Base Mixer. We upgraded from the basic 'Prestige range ' basin (the one with the tap on the side) to these and it cost us $91.00 each.

I hope that is a help...

There is a Porter Davis Upgrades thread and it states your basins should cost $91 or $92.

$165 seems a little much. I am upgrading to the porcher round basin and i was quoted around $150 a basin (unless im in for a rude shock).

Thank you for your help! That is the basin I am after and the basin I was quote on, so that helps!


I think maybe it costs more for Lifestyle people to upgrade to these basins because Prestige/Access range has a different standard basin to start off with?

Youre very possibly right. But its best to check because the one I upgraded from looked to be the most basic one they had available at Hopetoun.... Its that smaller one that has the tap off to one side mounted into the benchtop. Good luck!!

I am already in shock! hahaha!


Basins are something that can't be changed that easily when you get the keys, so I am thinking I may need to do a bit of shuffling to fit these babies in price wise!

Yes, we have the Valentino Stepped Vessel (Lifestyle range) as shown on my blog (referred above). We were quoted and charged - $144 each, this was only on 8th Feb.

I followed your blog today - loving it!
So it seems like the price is standard, that's ok, I think I can live with that!

Wow, i am shocked that they would cost so much! Imagine what option 4 costs.
I am going to confirm my basin price because the price quoted must be way off.
I wonder how Serenity_Now went with the second tender appointment today? Hopefully everything went better than the last one!

Welcome, Tinker!

I don't have a price for that exact size but my 2100mm high x 3600mm wide timber bi folds (including staining) is costing us $3819.

Hope this helps!
