Trixee's Passive Solar Build Perth

Trixee - that looks lovely and so smooth!! I'm still in love with the front door and the mini mirrors in them I've seen on butterbing's thread mention of the garage floor being done - I've sent an PM asking for some more info not had a reply yet though!

Perth_Euro I'd say that is at least 30cm? Is it too late for you to change? A normal tiled hob is usually 20cm I think - so the cabinets in my bathrooms are (or should be) 20cm high off the ground. I'm not too sure whether this includes or excludes the height of the floor tile yet to be laid.

Thanks PE!
I think the cabinet is 300mm off the ground, will check against the plans when I get a chance.

Edited to add: Yep, the bathroom and powder room vanities as well as the coffee area are 300mm off the ground. The ensuite is slightly higher at 340mm. I *think* that takes into account the finished floor level, but I'm not certain yet. Will check tonight.

Thanks mal, I have such a poor memory for who did what, I must go back and check her thread.

Yay! Grano! Another job done! It's looking fantastic and I love you used concrete in the alfresco!

Thanks all I like getting these sorts of jobs ticked off, feels like progress is being made.



Thanks Gypsy, don't get too excited by the alfresco though, we're planning on tiling over it
Actually, we did consider using aggregate there but opted for tiles instead. To be done after handover. Still unsure if we want to bring the indoor tile out, or go for contrast.

MnT, it took me a while as well! It's just concrete. According to this website, it's a specific type of concrete: http://www.pavingexpert.com/grano_01.htm

I don't know how different it is to the concrete used in the slab though.

Waiting on those tiling pics trixee.....!!!!! SO looking forward to seeing how it all looks together.

You're gonna kill me Rache, I'm not posting any until the grouting's done! Mwahaha!

Truth is, we can't get in after hours and it's a bit awkward taking photos while the tilers are still there. But I can say that I'm happy with the result so far - they've almost done the floors, and they've done the walls in the powder and laundry. There's an issue with the dishwasher not fitting in the kitchen cabinets, they won't be able to finish the kitchen until they sort that out. I'm also not happy about a skinny wall in the powder room, it's being worked around, I may not get my way but can still try.

They're quite nervous about tackling what is now being referred to as "the evil tile" though, they'll be starting on that on Thursday.

You're a cruel woman, trixee! Can't wait for Thursday+ so we can get to see the pics
