Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Jindalee - New Build - Switch Homes 17Jul 23, 2014 11:41 pm Well after trying to get most in at PPA we still had a hefty pre-start bill! We upgraded a lot including: changed the roof tile profile, added sarking to the roof, upgraded windows to low E and some to hush glazing (for noise reduction), gloss and silk finish to cabinets, upgraded all the tapware and basins, full tiling to bathrooms, doubled the electrical just in power points and provisions for the lights - we'll do the downlights after and adding provision for grey water connection.

I didn't like the Ariston cooktops on offer at all but just in time they brought out a new one http://www.harveynorman.com.au/ariston-750mm-planar-gas-hob-cooktop.html, which I really like.
