It'll all gonna come together in due course, so dont worry. Re: Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.1 744May 29, 2017 7:46 pm CalvinHobbes Katran Looks lovely Calvin. I was just admiring your shutters in there too. What did you end up putting on the sliding door /windows in bed 1?? Thanks Kat. We went with basswood chocolate brown plantation shutters. How's the build going? Hobbes Hey there, your recent pics look fantastic! We are progressing. Benchtops were installed on the weekend and tilers have laid the tiles. Waiting for grout now. Did you put sliding or bifold shutters on bed 1 door? Also love your colour do they show the dust??

Hobbes Hey there, your recent pics look fantastic! We are progressing. Benchtops were installed on the weekend and tilers have laid the tiles. Waiting for grout now. Did you put sliding or bifold shutters on bed 1 door? Also love your colour do they show the dust?? I got the bifold plantation shutters and yes, the dust shows but it's really not that bad compared to cream or white. As you see, i love black - had it on the island and some furnitures. Not regretting the decision eventhough it's high maintenance. What's helped me clean dust is the soft brush attachment to my dyson hand held. Made cleaning dust a lot easier where i can reach the surface Re: Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.1 747May 29, 2017 9:14 pm Bifold doors do take up a lot of space so make sure when you decide to install one, you think about how much space you have and how often will you open the shutters. This is the very reason why we went with verticals for the stacker door openings. While with the balcony, we recognised we will not often use the balcony- except New Year and occasional viewing the moon with the telescope with the kids and when we do, we do not fully open the shutters, just the 2 left panels fold to fully access the sliding door. The only time we opened it fully was to clean the fixed glass and sliding door and when we got the solar tint installed.

Wow. Can't believe it's been 2 years. Congratulations to you both on finishing and furnishing the house. It's such an amazing space. That kitchen... Wow. Void, amazing.. And yes, that dark polished porcelain floor looks incredible. Well done Abe and Paul!

I got Golden Blinds to do all my shutters, roller blinds, verticals and plantation shutters. We didnt take the option of motorised operation though, hubby didnt like the changing batteries. Though i think solar was also an option instead of batteries. Re: Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.1 752Aug 28, 2017 6:46 pm CalvinHobbes VictoriaEve CH your home is looking great! I'm so jealous...we just got told the original estimated handover month of December just got pushed to May! Thanks and am very sorry to hear about the May date. Hope things arent as bad as what I've been reading in the other threads, though personally the delays now are more signficant than last year. I really wish for you giys not to go through what we've gone through. Anyway, do post your progress as it's still interesting to see what's going on with the same type of project build. Hey CH...how bad were other people's delays? Our handover month started at December....then got pushed to May...then July....they August...now we're looking at October! Hubby and I are absolutely livid... Re: Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.1 753Aug 28, 2017 7:44 pm CalvinHobbes It's dark walnut.

I just went through a stack of old posts in your thread and realised you answered this same question a few times already - apologies for making you repeat yourself! Can I ask how much all of your window coverings cost in total?

Hubby and I are absolutely livid... Our estimated handover was initially July and 4 mos down the track we did the hand over in November. I think the delays were averaging 6mos after us, so judging from yours it's gotten worse. You guys are pretty much handling it with grace - I'd honestly say, i would have had multiple melt down already considering the other horrifying things i've been following in other threads. I wish you and the others the best, still, be steadfast so none of your time is waisted further.

Can I ask how much all of your window coverings cost in total? About 22k That's pretty good! Some of our quotes came in higher than that and our quotes were for rollers/curtains for the family, dining, stacker doors, front lounge and master bedroom instead of shutters. May have to give Golden Blinds a call tomorrow for a measure and quote. How are your western facing shutters going? Are they fading? I know you got your windows tinted but was just wondering how your shutters are faring. Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.15 758Aug 28, 2017 8:51 pm No problem with fading so far. I got quotes from 2 other, Golden Blinds came in the middle price range. Went with him coz he's a personal friend of mine, and guaranteed the job for a lifetime - LOL. Seriously speaking, i couldnt part with my 22k without knowing who I'm dealing with. So less risk for me to use his company than getting the cheapest quote with a 7k difference. Very happy with the materials, service and quality. A few of my friends who got their shutters and blinds were very satisfied so far.

I hear you - I'm concerned about handing over so much money, especially smaller companies that might go bust. But Golden Blinds sounds good - can I ask what your friend's name is - perhaps I can give him a call and say you recommended him to me. Gee you should get a cut!
