Priceless, good to see he has a great sense of humor. Tapware looks great, love the wall mounted fittings. Your front batter doesn't look to bad, if you take from the front of it and fill your back yard it will work well, you will need to add some drainage though. I still can't believe your painters haven't been back. I definitely would be after them now Re: Building the Plantation Retreat Nouveau Q1 at Logan Vill 382Sep 26, 2015 2:10 pm Tribe7 Hahhahah hahhahah I laughed out loud at the pic of your hubby, kids started asking what the hell I was laughing at.

Yeah haha he has a great sense of humor...always laughing There are two drains at the front and we will have one across the whole of the driveway so i hope thats enough Building the Plantation Retreat Nouveau Q1 at Logan Village 383Sep 26, 2015 9:45 pm Nice to have a happy fun person in your life . Oh happy days your sorted with drains then, Yeap the driveway one is a drain grate, ours is black plastic at the mo I think mr t wants to change it to a stainless one. Are plantation doing your driveway? Who ever does your driveway ask them to leave the soil from the excavation so you can then use the soil to back fill around the driveway. We have just finished doing ours. I've got blisters the size of Texas's from my boots Re: Building the Plantation Retreat Nouveau Q1 at Logan Vill 384Sep 27, 2015 10:24 am Tribe7 Nice to have a happy fun person in your life .

Re: Building the Plantation Retreat Nouveau Q1 at Logan Vill 385Oct 01, 2015 8:23 pm So tomorrow we were hoping to spot the rare and endagered species known as the "painter". No need to go hunting as SS rang me late this afternoon (nice to hear from him) and said painters are still a no show. He has now decided to pull a team off another house and will start on ours next Tuesday and hopefully done by Friday, he said they are awesome and reliable painters (i really hope so). Handover can then hopefully be set 12 days from them. So now looks like 27 October. Its frustrating but at the end of the day I want it to be done properly. This means we will run past contract time so should be entitled to some small amount of payment. Re: Building the Plantation Retreat Nouveau Q1 at Logan Vill 386Oct 01, 2015 9:22 pm Fingers crossed this new team finally finishes the job!

The outside still needs to be fixed up the render, and the down pipes and parts above the windows still need to be painted. However my happiness soon faded away when i did not receive a call from my supervisor this afternoon as promised. He told me last Friday he would give me handover date today and i spoke to admin today who also said he was going to call me. I called at 5.30 no answer. Absolutely furious that he would leave us hanging over the weekend. After everything else that has happened.

A couple of pics Door stained Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Painting probably looks no different in the pics but finish is alot smoother Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ And illaria here is how our accessories sit. The drainer is ok but needs to be slightly bigger as it easily falls in....and the cutting board needs to be smaller as it overhangs. Im a bit perplexed as to why they ask u what option u want. I chose option where they were supposed to fit flush as in sit neatly inside the benchtop. Clearly this isn't the case...the board and the drainer arent even the same size.
