Going to give bank a call tomorrow and get a definite date for their valuation as we've given where we are now notice for end of Jan. Oh bugger - so close we all on the countdown now ... not long now - I forgot about the valuation Re: Simonds Express Westbury Build 57Jan 13, 2017 6:56 am A paintbrush isn't much better unfortunately I hear the stuff in the spray can goes on quick/easy (prob too late now). It took us a few days to do ours as well and for one of the days there was 4 of us doing it!

All of our tiles (kitchen, entry, toilet, laundry, bathroom, ensuite, backsplash, inside showers/side of bath/etc). Anywhere we had grout, we sealed it. In heavy traffic areas I did two coats because I noticed it sucked in quickly, well we realise now it's because the grout was faulty We built the Rathdowne with Simonds Express in Western Melbourne Site start Oct. 2015 Keys Jan. 25th, 2015 My build thread -here- Re: Simonds Express Westbury Build 60Jan 13, 2017 8:09 pm Thanks - yeah I think I will do this too - there is a few different types there is a spray one I wonder how good this would be . Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17199 thank you! do we need to get this or our builder before we commence new build on the block? 2 10261 Hi, did you get any money from insurance? if you did, does it match what you've already paid the builders? 3 9558 |
