(Not my shoes by the way!) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ We seems to have made a lot of good choices except for the placement of a shelf in the laundry which resulted in a near flood and call to a plumber! As a result there are not many pictures on the walls yet. Still have study and waredrobes to finish off together with a front fence in front of the verandah to the park. My Thread (Halls Head Beach House): viewtopic.php?f=31&t=67006 Re: Halls Head Beach House 203Oct 12, 2014 9:51 pm Looks lovely guys. Well done. We've been busy buying paint and last bits of furniture, hopefully not too far behind you. Re: Halls Head Beach House 204Oct 12, 2014 10:26 pm Lovely! Where is your rug from? What did the shelf do to cause the flood? I don't think we have a shelf in our laundry cupboards so hopefully don't have a problem too!

Tip 1. Use shorter drill bits and wall plugs Tip 2. Don't assume water pipes are perfectly vertical. It's easy to laugh now but we now have a wall to patch up.

Your exterior colour choices a spot on. I love the variety in the materials and all still blending in with the environment. Shutters look so good too. Lucky (and clever) you!

Re: Halls Head Beach House 211Oct 13, 2014 12:34 am ![]() After quick scan for shutter supplier details, I drew a blank. Do you recommend them? Local? we used Boardwalk. They are in Perth but both reps and installers are in Mandurah regularly. They were awesome to deal with. Just need to measure windows 10 weeks in advance. We didn't have all sills completed on first measure so we had two weeks between moving and installation. Would absolutely recommend them.
