We chose that tap for kitchen, butlers and laundry!!! She did tell us it splatters..... I thought if it was that bad they wouldn't use them. I was obviously wrong Re: Building the Sahara Q3 with Henley 1383Sep 04, 2015 1:40 pm hey tomcat, they just simply slap onsome more concrete underneath... Re: Building the Sahara Q3 with Henley 1384Sep 04, 2015 6:16 pm Thanks for the replies. Our bricks are overhanging as much as 40mm (30 mm more than the building code tolerance) off the slab. And like your home Izzy, it's two story. Don't want to see those bricks tumble down and hurt someone. We're on extremely reactive soil which can move as much as 75mm, so they have to engineer a much better fix than stuffing concrete under the bricks Causing a bit of grief at the moment, that's why I asked. Thank you. Your house looks fabulous by the way! Re: Building the Sahara Q3 with Henley 1385Sep 04, 2015 9:36 pm confused_fhb_2015 We've got the same one Izzy and until NHP this was very shaky..not sure if the SS has been able to do anything to fix it.. I'm sure you'll be fine as you have undermount sinks..anyone else having problems with this being wobbly ?

Re: Building the Sahara Q3 with Henley 1391Sep 07, 2015 8:57 pm Izzyb Vino0512 Oh no! Any damage or were you on to it in time? Yes, the water shouldn't come through. Even our house, old as it is, the doors are tightly sealed and have never experienced a water leak. Re: Building the Sahara Q3 with Henley 1392Sep 07, 2015 9:01 pm Neth04 Izzyb Vino0512 Oh no!
