Can't wait for your kitchen reveal! viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75739&p=1299716#p1299716 OB in Hume area - VIC. Fast forwarded + photo heavy 282May 31, 2016 12:04 am So much to take in. I love it all. As good as it gets really!! Re: OB in Hume area - VIC. Fast forwarded + photo heavy 283Jun 05, 2016 3:59 pm Haji, I wonder if you can post all the photos? We are still waiting to see the final grand view of your place Re: OB in Hume area - VIC. Fast forwarded + photo heavy 284Jun 05, 2016 10:09 pm Beautiful powder room! Looks straight from some fancy house magazine! Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=75302 Re: OB in Hume area - VIC. Fast forwarded + photo heavy 285Jun 16, 2016 2:29 pm Sorry guys, I am almost there with all the fine details. I don't want to put up incomplete photos. Here's some of the things we have done: ✔ Curatins & blinds installed ✔ All LED strip lighting complete ✔ Pool almost complete, just needs a final clean. Pool fence going up on the weekend. ✔ Replaced my matt panel white splashback with tiles, tile splashback in laundry complete ✔ Underbench seats purchased (not a light decision) ✔ TV wall bracket installed (makes the TV look as if it's floating, not attached to the wall) ✔ Timber battens in kids bathroom complete, en suite almost complete + Other bits and pieces not worth mentioning. In the time that we have been in the house, the underfloor heating combined with double glazing and efficient insulation has been superb. In fact, yesterday was 17 degrees, the heater was set at 21 degrees, and at 3pm the thermostat was showing 27.5 degrees It was so warm that when kids got home they had to open their doors to let the heat out. The fact that most windows are facing north also plays a pivotal role in keeping the house warm. The reclaimed timber post, island bench, front door, hidden sliding door and other timber throughout the house are a big hit. Oh, and the kitchen as well I shall post some photos by Sunday hopefully. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Custom owner build in Hume - VIC - Tiling Stage http://goo.gl/qpPglB Re: OB in Hume area - VIC.

The rooms that have eaves are laundry, bathroom and the 2 bedrooms for kids. The cantilever roof is around 900mm wide. No eaves on the stacker doors but we are planning on putting an electric louvre roof in the future on alfresco area so that will cut out some of the sun. I don't want to totally block it out. I am told double glazing windows are just at effective in summer, i.e it should block out the sun as well.

Re: OB in Hume area - VIC. Fast forwarded + photo heavy 290Jun 17, 2016 8:07 am Haj, what kind of double glazing do you have? I'm in a bit of a tussle at the moment with our window supplier. We have paid $8600 for DG expecting 4-6-4 with argon gap but they are saying it's just an air gap. Viridian are saying argon is standard in their Insulated glass units. Re: OB in Hume area - VIC.

The double glazing would be effective at keeping the heat out, but not the sunlight itself, unless the glass is tinted Re: OB in Hume area - VIC. Fast forwarded + photo heavy 292Jun 20, 2016 11:31 pm A little bit of a photo update on the pool fence, went with all glass, mostly 1.8m wide + 2 gates.
