Thanks for the photos Inspector Fran, I forgot to take some from out front. The eaves have also mostly been done. Also, the bathroom tiling has started! It's weird, I thought the shower was supposed to go to 1.8m high. The tiles are 40cm tall each. So that means there should be 4.5 tiles tall. And the feature tiles were 30cm tall, so should need 6 to make it go to 1.8m. Looks like they'll need a bit more! I'm confused.

If I would be your tiler I would just just stick the whole tiles as is, making it 2m tall love your feature tile btw Re: Sammymac's build! - Why so stressful?! :'( 748May 01, 2013 9:24 pm Absolutely! Does it look like one more will fit underneath? It's hard to tell with the angle of the photo. The tiles look longer at the top! Thanks, glad we chose that tile! We originally had a lighter greyer version.

I really wanted them but wasn't sure they'd give enough light for what we wanted, so I went with a chrome pendant instead but still adore these... so many times I've been tempted to change our order, but I'm sticking with the gut which on this one is saying no. Bummer! Hope you get them so I can adore with envy.
