So pleased with that. Heathcote 35 hope yours goes ahead on time we are already 10 days after the date given to us and it wasn't raining then!!!!

We upgraded for all the bedrooms. We assumed when we asked for mirrored robes that the entire sliding doors would be mirrored.. What we have received is this..

But as per the ensuite, it has been laid incorrectly. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ It is supposed to be a staggered look, negative on top of positive on top of negative and then the reverse next to it. They have just laid it in rows, and now it looks a bit off. We have contacted dilorenzo to have this rectified. Hi Ben your kitchen looks beautiful and big, Thanks, yeh it is about 4m long... Just hope they can sort out this tiling issue... Was a massive shock when we had a look yesterday and it wasnt exactly what we expected... It does look good, but i would be kicking myself later if we just accepted it. The SS said it wont be a problem changing it and it wont put back our build time Hi Benblinkau If you had the same tilers as us, I don't think they understand much, and can only comprehend plain tiling.[/quote] Agreed. Looks like our entire splashback has to be ripped out and done again. And our tiles arent in stock... So may have to be removed and replaced after handover.... Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 9632Feb 19, 2014 11:20 am Renski Ben - I can't believe they didn't lay your tiles correctly. You would think they would know. I often wonder how some trades actually qualify for their trade with the stupid decisions that are made. It will look hot whe fixed. I saw those tiles at DiL and they look so amazing. What colour are your doors? Has - I'm glad that they assisted with the facade issue. But the kitchen issue is huge. That's something I'd def be so annoyed and upset about. Def go and check display. If you were never told it's bigger than standard that sucks. The drysdale display has a bench top 900mm I thought it was standard until KC mentioned it was 800 and in the end had to pay for the upgrade. I was so annoyed. But then again KC constantly annoyed me during admin. Your house is coming along so well. You have way over taken us. And we started end of nov. Bax - house looks great. And what an awesome size driveway. I hope they can reply soon. I agree it's so rude that they can't give dates. There is so much to organise when moving and coordinate. It's not fair they don't keep you updated We have the door fit out today and tomorrow. Cornice finished today. Water proofing happening and then I guess it's fit out. I'm so excited to see our kitchen and bathroom fit outs. See if my colour choices look good together. It's rather nerve racking at the same time though Our doors are ageless... The same as our skirtings. Yeh they are pretty nice, and expensive... Hence why they probably dont hold too many at the warehouse...

I think that frames make the mirror doors look more nice, but each to their own I guess.

Hi NSharma, i just came from our house and we took the same mirror sliding door for robes. it looks same as urs..we did want to have wooden frame around the.mirror. if u have told HOG for full mirror then u should contact them. those sliding door basically used for bedroom doors..so they use same doors for robes as well. Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 9638Feb 19, 2014 12:39 pm NSharma Thanks BH and Oronno I just wanted to confirm that they were the correct ones. I am happy to keep them, i do actually like the frame around them. Hi NSharma stick with what you have been given looks way better than the full mirrors Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 9639Feb 19, 2014 1:01 pm I just assumed that when we asked for mirrored robes we would get the full height ones.The Mister was concerned we got the wrong ones.. I do actually prefer the ones we have been given. They are much nicer. When i saw them yesterday i was pleasantly surprised.

Good to hear that they are fixing your splash back. We are getting splash back but it has to go over the existing one as it is too hard to take off. Our bamboo floors went in yesterday. Wonder if you got the same tradesman as us!! Will post pics when i get a chance. Are they going to cover your floors to protect them?? Also did they take off the skirting when they did them. They did for us and when I had a sneak peek through a window today there seems to be a gap under the skirting and floor and it doesn't really look good. Will have to ask our SS if they have to get the carpenter back to fix the skirting. I built with EB back on 2009.
