Trixee's Passive Solar Build Perth

MalSannie · Aug 24, 2015 7:17 pm

With the high ceilings I'd definitely say larger.

I vote wider. Ours are 90mm. I really like them, another 10mm would be lovely too.

Loving the render Trixee, that colour looks great! How nice that it has all come together so well

Bigger it is, thank you!

Another vote for bigger Trixee.

I'd vote for larger too.
Mind you it didn't occur to me to change the height of ours after we raised the ceilings. oops

I found this info

Like Lunar we didn't think to increase ours with our ceiling height either. Bummer!

You're welcome!
Looks like my skirting will be vertically challenged like me

Unless it was upgraded automatically in our split level price - I think I know the answer to that one already :lol:

Dropped by the house today, the frames for the sliding stackers and bifolds seem to have been delivered, so yay!

Unfortunately, noticed that one of our window frames now has a massive dent in it

Looks like someone dropped something heavy on it, but can't think what. Does anyone know how hard it is to replace a frame, or what they normally do in those situations?

Good news to have frames. Good question about the frames, one of our (installed interior) door frames and one of our window frames also have good dents in them. I think it's from erecting the interior scaffolding. I may have left mentioning it to the builders too late.

I really hope they have a way of fixing it! Otherwise you would think they would use more protection...

Looking great Trixee. We love the dieskau colour and used it on the interior of kitchen and living in the current house.

Dings and dents in the frames are easily fixed. Not sure how they do it, but we had quite a few fixed without them being replaced.

trixee · Aug 26, 2015 10:57 am

Thanks d_rail, that's reassuring to know!

jelbell55 · Aug 26, 2015 2:20 pm

Sorry to hear about the frame Trixee, not something you want to see when visiting is it? Hopefully it is fixed easily.

Great news about the bifolds and stackers!! Bet you can't wait to see those completed

Yep we had a big dent in our frame into our games room, they fill them, sand and then paint them (just like patching a wall etc). Would never know it was there.

trixee · Aug 26, 2015 4:11 pm

Thanks Belzey, was that with a wood frame or a metal frame?

Rache · Aug 28, 2015 12:53 am

Love your external colours trixee. Cant see any purple in that lovely render! Its looking fantastic!

Metal but I would presume wood would be the same steps.
