Re: Henley Carmelle Lux Q2 - Taps on the block 284Oct 19, 2015 7:03 pm Ooops, my bad, I meant from Admin / contracts to construction site handover.. the build's about to start. Yep, we'll be doing the flooring ourselves after handover. Re: Henley Carmelle Lux Q2 - Taps on the block 285Oct 20, 2015 6:31 am How exciting to see the installation of the taps! It's all happening for you now. If they start at the end of the month, have they given you an idea of when you will have the keys? Re: Henley Carmelle Lux Q2 - Taps on the block 286Oct 20, 2015 8:19 am Yeah we're overly excited! They originally were aiming to start Oct 20th - if they did, they said it's averaging about a 4.5 month turn around, with a break around Christmas. So I'm guessing end up march, start of April? Re: Henley Carmelle Lux Q2 - Taps on the block 288Oct 20, 2015 9:56 am Haha ok Snyde I went f0wles and liked Largo long boards as flooring at tender i will tell h3nley that im doing my own flooring. Re: Henley Carmelle Lux Q2 - Taps on the block 289Oct 20, 2015 10:51 am Ha, Easter party for sure! Nice, get them to leave the skirting boards off if you're doing it yourself, and fix them (or have someone fix them for you) once the floors are done, then you wont have to put quads down. Re: Henley Carmelle Lux Q2 - Taps on the block 290Oct 20, 2015 4:56 pm cool thanks for the tip tender appointment 2moro trying to write down all the things i want to ask them Re: Henley Carmelle Lux Q2 - Taps on the block 291Oct 23, 2015 9:20 am snyde Ooops, my bad, I meant from Admin / contracts to construction site handover.. the build's about to start.

Re: Henley Carmelle Lux Q2 - Taps on the block 292Oct 23, 2015 9:27 am They can do the architraves, but we've just requested the skirting boards stay off so we can install the skirting boards over the flooring, that way we don't have to put quads down anywhere. Re: Henley Carmelle Lux Q2 - Taps on the block 293Oct 23, 2015 9:36 am Bit of an update We seen our basins installed on a friends recent build, seeing them in person looked horrid. We've quickly got onto our admin and updated our ensuite and powder room basin and taps to these: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Thankfully we've had a great admin who's helped us with the change. Our block's been measured, and has also been assessed by the new SS and should start next week!

Re: Henley Carmelle Lux Q2 - Taps on the block 295Oct 23, 2015 4:18 pm we have same tapware and basin in powder room, it looks just so cool. good decision to upgrade Re: Henley Carmelle Lux Q2 - Taps on the block 296Oct 23, 2015 6:04 pm What basin and tap is that Snyde? Love it! & what did you have previously? Re: Henley Carmelle Lux Q2 - Taps on the block 297Oct 23, 2015 7:05 pm Thanks mirz. It's the Gem Inset basin with Rush Wall Mixer. We had the Leda Vasque above counter basins originally selected with vivid mixer. Re: Henley Carmelle Lux Q2 - Taps on the block 298Oct 24, 2015 12:46 am May I ask how much this upgrade was for? Re: Henley Carmelle Lux Q2 - Taps on the block 299Oct 24, 2015 11:03 am Basins were $260 each in lieu of the Veda Lasque ones (they were approx $60 each I think?) The taps are $165 each Re: Henley Carmelle Lux Q2 - Taps on the block 300Nov 05, 2015 6:47 pm Hi, If you give a set of criteria as to what means 'good' to you, it'll give others prompts to respond.
