We're very happy with it. Tiling should be done tomorrow including patio and BBQ front, grouting on Thursday. I have to be on site tomorrow early and lay some customised conduit across the front of the patio and what will be under the driveway to run low voltage. There will be 3 up lighters illuminating each column and the extension conduit is purely there should we want some garden lighting along the far side of the driveway at a later date. There's a chance the driveway will be laid tomorrow afternoon.

I originally was going to do a bi-fold, but wasn't thrilled with the space it would have taken up over such a large expanse, it's around 5m wide. I really love the way it completely disappears. I replicated the thinking with a bulkhead over the living room windows with blind slots so those blinds also disappear into the bulkhead. The stacker doors weren't cheap by any means, but it's the right solution for the lifestyle we want in the house. I had a hard time finding them in Melbourne, but got them custom made by Windows By Design in Cheltenham.

We have a Dining/kitchen area that adjoins a living area, and want to maintain some visual connectivity, but need to be able to screen out some noise from cooking etc, without cluttering up the space -so it might be a solution. I agree with you on bulkheads - I think built-in bulkheads to "obscure" blinds or curtain rails are also a good look that we're considering incorporating into living areas (no so fussed about bedrooms). Cheers Re: Doonks' World by CC Designer Homes - Builder says 14/11/ 78Nov 03, 2012 4:01 pm Day #229 - 03/11/12 Final electricals done, very happy indeed. Front porch lights and garage eaves lights done. Range hoods, cook top and those gorgeous Murano Glass drop pendants over the kitchen bench. Couldn't get inside, but took some through the rear stacker doors.
