Is this for any reason Re: Goodlife/Gemmil Bravo Build - Brickwork done! Pics & Qs. 432Feb 05, 2014 9:46 am Great to see brickwork done S. Did you end up happy with the master bed layout? Is it all big enough for you? I always find it looks small until you put your furniture in and then you go 'wow that's better than I thought'. The portico is a really nice statement too.

I always find it looks small until you put your furniture in and then you go 'wow that's better than I thought'. The portico is a really nice statement too. Thank you Love the master bed, only last night we were looking through our thread to our first bedroom design (such novices!) wondering how we would possibly manage to have a WIR behind the bed. It looks great! Have taken to it with a tape measure and everything will fit just great. Also sooooo happy we moved the entrance to the activity room to where we did, instead of in the kitchen - kitchen is huge! Thanks we love the portico too JC wants to put that EkoDeck from bunnings under it, so looks like we will be pulling up the paving - should have just got a credit for it - oh well! How is your house going? Are you de-stressed now? We were talking about you last night when we visted the house, JC wants to mount a tv to the wall that backs onto the other bathroom, the shower head wall. I was saying, DO NOT DRILL ANYWHERE NEAR A PIPE. Felt so awful for you when I read about your situation Is it all fixed now? Hope you love your house Our home building & decorating blog - http://www.rocknsoul.com.au/blog Re: Goodlife/Gemmil Bravo Build - Brickwork done!

Does anyone have any recommendations for the best value decking oil (Bunning is close to where I live) for a treated pine deck? Thanks 0 13094 DIY, Home Maintenance & Repair That laser level looks lovely! We bought one for less than a quarter of that price off eBay.
