The sliding door helps with the bedroom space! _____________________________________ Building in Bedfordale Perth WA https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=89716 Churchman Brook Electrical Services EC 8659 Re: First Timer (Built By Momu @ Calleya) 123Jan 07, 2018 2:11 pm I think we'll be okay if we don't put a chest of drawers opposite the bed, otherwise that might restrict the movement a little. As you said, it's only a room we sleep in, we've got plenty of other rooms to hang out in haha Find my build thread here: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=88694&f=31&p=1729530#p1729530 Re: First Timer (Built By Momu @ Calleya) 124Jan 08, 2018 4:33 am I have heard that allot of people panic about the sizes at this stage and when the plaster goes up it strangely feels allot bigger.

We arrived and nothing had been done, so that was extremely disappointing and to make matters worse, a tradie has spilled something all down the front of some drawers in the Kitchen....

Re: First Timer (Built By Momu @ Calleya) 127Jan 09, 2018 9:05 pm Me too! It was still partially wet when I tried to scrape some off, so will have another look tomorrow when I swing past to mark up my light locations Find my build thread here: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=88694&f=31&p=1729530#p1729530 Re: First Timer (Built By Momu @ Calleya) 128Jan 09, 2018 9:09 pm If not, then I hope they can replace it all quick smart for you without causing too much delay to everything else. Are you doing lighting post hand over? Re: First Timer (Built By Momu @ Calleya) 129Jan 09, 2018 9:14 pm Yeah they'll be replacing them if it doesn't come off. Builder is doing one standard light point in each room which is setout to suit additional downlights, by us after handover.

Builder is doing one standard light point in each room which is setout to suit additional downlights, by us after handover. Gosh the builders charge for downlights are ridiculous aren't they! I originally thought we'd save the hassle and get the builder to do them, but they wanted to charge a $138 variation each! No thanks! We saw a lighting consultant before prestart (who sadly seemed to go out of business by the time we were ready to order ) and worked out the locations for the lights. The builder just put plug bases in the ceiling for the lights. Hubby went and drilled the holes in the correct place after the ceiling was installed (before lock up) and we've purchased the lights from Beacon. The lighting consultant estimated $50 installation per downlight including drilling, so hopefully we can sort it out for a bit cheaper. Hubby is organising it this week. So thats $30 per LED downlight, plus install, at $80ish each. $50 saving per light! Not a small amount when you're looking at 50+ lights!!! Re: First Timer (Built By Momu @ Calleya) 131Jan 10, 2018 1:41 pm Yeah it's crazy what they charge hey! I did an order through our supplier at work and got 60 10w downlights for $600 which was an awesome deal. My brother is an electrician so he's going to do my lights for me Find my build thread here: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=88694&f=31&p=1729530#p1729530 Re: First Timer (Built By Momu @ Calleya) 132Jan 10, 2018 3:37 pm Lucky! I’m also installing downlights post build. I’ve got one quote for roughly 2k For 30 odd downlights and a few others but I also have a mate who is an electrician, I am hoping one of them can do a mates rates deal and I just purchase the lights. Re: First Timer (Built By Momu @ Calleya) 133Jan 10, 2018 8:26 pm So our stone has finally gone in and it looks amazing! So happy with how the island bench has turned out 😍😍😍 Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Find my build thread here: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=88694&f=31&p=1729530#p1729530 Re: First Timer (Built By Momu @ Calleya) 135Jan 10, 2018 9:56 pm I asked for an unofficial date and they said end of February. Don't really think there's 7 more weeks of work to do, but apparently it'll take that long.

Re: First Timer (Built By Momu @ Calleya) 138Jan 13, 2018 11:16 pm Really like your benchtop especially the island bench, and your tile selections in your bathrooms the colours just flow so well together Re: First Timer (Built By Momu @ Calleya) 139Jan 13, 2018 11:34 pm Thanks! Really happy with how it all turned out exactly how we thought it would when doing our tile selection!

We've gone for a similar one in the kitchen/scullery/laundry! DIY, Home Maintenance & Repair We purchased a 1960s property that is on timber stumps mostly, and a newer section is on concrete stumps. We had a building inspection initially and they reported some… 0 12739 Strong enough for what? For linen, absolutely. To climb on, no. I've got similar shelving in my garage and it holds a decent amount of weight. 900 wide shelves will carry… 1 4190 Probably a not bad thing to mention particle board should in case anyone else reading this got the two confused. 6 4879 |
