I'm an expat and most of my family is overseas so this is the best way to share with them my build so they can feel involved without me having to go over it...over and over and over So without further ado. Bathrooms Toilets for all the bathrooms: just the standard caroma I didnt feel strongly enough about the toilets to upgrade them. I thought the ones they provided were just fine.

They are all similar although the original Opal spa was a touch too small to fit two comfortably. We went out to the showroom and the sales person explained the one we were quoted has the same price as the slightly larger pearl which was extremely comfortable for two and then there was the Endless necksage which has extra jets around the neck area. My partner has a bad back hence why we decided to go for a spa vs a normal jetted tub. This one is the Opal Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This is the pearl This one is the necksage Master Shower Tapware: Since the shower is a double there will be two sets of tapware. On the left side of the shower closest to the doorway will be a shower seat with this shower head The other side will have the handheld shower plus this.

Thank you i'm trying to make my house as unique as possible. Simonds makes it so easy. I too am trying to follow the other simonds builds although most of them are in SA. They seem more popular there than here in Melbourne and honestly were not on our radar when we started the build. I am so glad we found them. Decorate your home.

So today we went out and finally finalized our purchases and paid the deposit with E & S Trading. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Not only did they match a HN quote but blew it out of the water. The deposit is about 10% higher than what HN asked for but really does it matter when all is said and done it will all need to be paid for. Here is what we selected Our Main Kitchen Oven: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ we are also waiting on the matching range hood These are our 76cm double ovens.

When you do get quotes from multiple places and let them go at it. I got a quote from E&S with a promo they were having. HN matched it and the E&S went even lower. The Big black oven was originally 8k we only paid 5.5 i think maybe less. I don't have the paperwork with me. I'm pretty sure i could have got it lower had i not been tired of driving back and forth.

Hey Natasha long time no see It is coming along nicely. We were supposed to have another appointment but between the flu and braces we are a bit behind but we are still good to go for November. October isn't too bad you then have time to get ready for the holidays. I'm kicking myself on the size of my land at the moment we have so much bloody landscaping i don't know what to do.
