Building in Moncrieff, ACT Builder: Sekisui House Initial Deposit: Dec, 2014 - Infinity Upgrades and Air Con Re: KDR with Sekisui House: benchtops in 1164Mar 15, 2015 7:57 pm yvonneh @TW Something strange about the proportion it could be the narrowness of the doors I'm with you yvonneh about the proportion. I find upgraded height doors look too skinny IMO. I know we will be against the majority in doing standard height doors with 2.7 ceilings top and bottom. The only door we upgraded in height was the front pivot door and that's because it's wider. Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=75302 Re: KDR with Sekisui House: benchtops in 1165Mar 15, 2015 8:31 pm We're getting 2.7 ceilings and are also getting standard doors throughout. I do wish we got the back glass stackers increased, but then I like things to line up.. so they wouldn't have aligned with near by windows or other doors. OCD Love the carpet! I haven't had any carpet for a while, I always think a place is so luxurious that has it Re: KDR with Sekisui House: benchtops in 1166Mar 15, 2015 8:56 pm TraceyWayne Was checking out your to do list, who'd have thought the toaster would be so low, haha love my toast We've learned to fry bread Our holiday house which is off grid can't handle a toaster Re: KDR with Sekisui House: benchtops in 1167Mar 15, 2015 8:58 pm trixee We have our existing mailbox (from the street you can't even tell we are building). When we visit the block we check our mail clothes line will be a simple line for now and we have a spare retractable one so will use that. But good thinking!

There has been big cases recently of imported from overseas hot water systems and even tiles full of asbestos! Yeah a bit concerned although I use to import goods so should be ok within reason. Need to get a good quality control in China. Edit: the type of goods is be importing at this stage are just cabinets for the library and laundry and wardrobe...

I haven't had any carpet for a while, I always think a place is so luxurious that has it Ooh what floors are you going to be installing through the house? Make sure you let sekisui know as they had to resubmit our Basix as they guessed! For our stacking doors I think we changed our minds about what to do about 7 times. From colonial bars to no colonial bars to height changes and laminated etc. We ended up getting 2100mm high even though we thought we were getting 2143! So I don't know why we bothered going to the Stegbar showroom.
