trixeeI love it! I thought we had the biggest collection but you've got me beat;) Just noticed a bunch of stone benchtop samples at my youngest son's day care. I guess it's cool tactile learning or something. told them I'll have lots of different stuff to donate soon. Can't wait to see what you decide on. Really, really, really this week is the week the council gets it together for you!

I'm sure council will pull their finger out and give you approval any day now. Sending you positive building vibes. Ps, lovely collection you have there  Re: Trixee's Passive Solar Build Perth 304Oct 28, 2014 11:45 pm That's a great idea too Ardie! I was actually planning on just handing them back to the Laminex showroom - they have a box for returned samples. But maybe I should ask around at work if anyone's daycare centre could use them. 21 Jun 2013 1,772 WA Gold Member Re: Trixee's Passive Solar Build Perth 305Oct 29, 2014 12:41 am Yep I've already returned heaps to laminex. Figured I'd bring the rest at some point but day care is a shorter drive  Plus I've got tile samples, bamboo samples, trex samples, the list goes on and on  Re: Trixee's Passive Solar Build Perth 306Oct 29, 2014 1:11 am Lol, know what you mean, I've already repurposed some of my tile samples in the back yard where I needed some stable ground! Re: Trixee's Passive Solar Build Perth 307Nov 03, 2014 11:07 pm Breaking news - our planning application has been approved!     Well, this is according to the City of Stirling online tracker. What this means in reality is that we will have to wait another week or so (probably) before we get hold of the official letter so we can get on with things. But still!

Looks like I still have to hurry up and wait for a few days though  Re: Trixee's Passive Solar Build Perth 314Nov 03, 2014 11:36 pm Yay! That's fantastic news. Now all the fun stuff starts

If it were me I'd take a screenshot of the Stirling WA site and use that rather than wait for paperwork but then I can be reckless and impatient! Celebration time! Re: Trixee's Passive Solar Build Perth 318Nov 04, 2014 10:03 am Thanks Yvonne. Yes I did actually take a screen shot and send it to them but they still want the official letter :/ Re: Trixee's Passive Solar Build Perth 319Nov 04, 2014 10:15 am Congratulations Trixee on getting planning permission!! I did the same - had all my possible stone and cabinet colours on a windowsill so I could see it right through the day in different light conditions  I constantly moved them around too to have different colours adjacent to each other. I still have my whole bag of samples which I need to take back before we leave next wk!26 Feb 2013 757 VIC Gold Member 0 1169 We came across your post and it mirrors our situation. Have you progressed in the interim and would you have any advice for us? Thanks in advance! 40 23997 Hi Josh & Eve, thanks for the info, we have decided to play it safe and have 3 phase installed if it is available, would rather be safe than sorry. cheers, Lynne 12 5908 |
