As I'm going alone due to our work commitments (joys of running own business), it is all on my shoulders. I hope tomorrow I get the choices right. We mostly know what we like, and so far I have done all the selections alone, including bricks, roof tiles, floor tiles, flooring etc. so far so good, as I'm still sleep in the same bed Just got a call back from the air-con supplier. They matched the price . He brought the price of extra zones from $470 each down to $235. The excuse was he charged me for 4 zones instead of two ($940 down to $470), but I specifically remember him saying $470 per zone, but I did not say anything and pretended I was not aware. And, changed to Temperzone 18Kw for $1887, next model up from the quote Paul provided me (Thanks Paul ). Total re-quote $2357 (instead of $5580 for Daiken inverter) Re: Masterton Homes - The new thread 2.0 1888Jul 17, 2012 6:42 pm Guys I was able to get hold of someone re kitchen bench tops it's done in Sydney is granitestone 0296017636 for masterton.....I did it in very beginning and was double the price of other kitchen bench places....unfortunately I only got a quote on a 40 mm apron 3.6 metre long waterfall bench top it was $5700 all mitred....I didn't get a individual mitre cost dsa39 PS_Sirocco7 dsa39 - I just contacted QQ directly to ask how the pricing works for the Mitred apron joints: I wrote: "Hi, Im interested in the 40mm Starlight Black benchtop with a waterfall edge. Im also interested in the Mitred Apron joints and am wondering how you cost this? Regards." They replied: "Hi, Thank you for your enquiry. We are wholesalers of stone slabs to stonemasons only & do not cut or install stone. Please contact a stonemason for a quote on your benchtop requirements. Regards." Sounds like the price may vary according to the installers nearest to your area?

We also ordered our blinds from blindsonline.com.au last night. 11 hour a day painting is starting to wear thin on us but we can see the end is near. No inside pics until then. Oh and 2 hours on the phone to Telstra today only to be told we can't have a phone line for 2 months as they have no capacity.
