Riksters place - Kid's play area

Looking just amazing!. love your house its just perfect for the area too.
Can you pls tell me what is the size of the bench that has your stove? Is it approx 2m?

thanks

Raz

Hi Raz, do you mean the length of the bench where the stove will go ? - if you do, you are correct, it is about 2m long.
The stove is an 80cm freestanding Ilve.

Cheers

Looking good Riskter, are you going to move in first or start getting your flooring/curtain/landscaping/lighting work completed before move in?



Yes, we all "love" our council so much, and Kur-ing-gai is one of the famous one on the top list. No wonder houses in your council area are so expensive!
Sometimes I still don't understand why we pay them so much money for them to put all these restriction on us....

Hi Allan,

We are getting all the flooring done, then moving in. Landscaping takes two months. We can't wait that long, so that will have to go ahead while we are in there. We just have 20m of mud to walk up to get to the house

I do hope it's dry when we move in... all I can do is hope I guess. If it rains.. I just can't bear to think what will happen to all our beautiful new carpet !

I love reading your thread! Love your house. Could I ask what colour stain you use for the stair treads?

Sorry guys, have been very busy of late packing! - yes packing. My wife & I packed while our toddler unpacked. We eventually managed to start winning the battle. We are now nearly all packed & ready for the big move next Monday !

Sahana - thank you for your wonderful comments. All the credit really goes to my wife. She had to go against what the builders suggested as the 'norm' all through the building process. You should wait until all the curtains & window furnishings are in throughout the house (we will post pics). All the colours around the house tie in with the materials. It should look pretty good. The engineered flooring is actually a mistake. We wanted solid wood, but never allowed for the 4cm height gain with the kitchen. So we had to go with something 2cm high. We are having wood in all rooms downstairs except the formal lounge/dining room (blue paneled room), where we are having carpet. Upstairs is all carpet.

bel - Very happy to hear you enjoy this thread.

sammy - I'll have to check the tin ! - we just asked the builders for a colour to match the jarah floor.

How exciting for you!!!

You are doing a great job with the pics, keep up the good work.

Damn, our security guys updated the web proxy settings/firewall rules and now I can no longer view the images (from photobucket.com?) in this forum from work....
