Vinski Re: Sharon's build with home group WA 32Dec 06, 2013 1:55 pm our Prestart meeting my heart broke when i was told that we couldnt get the 2c bricks that i had my heart set on from the start. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ my dream bricks. the reason why the build isnt using the kingston is because of other houses having issues with Efflorescence. i am glad not to have the bricks, but i really wanted the grey bricks. so i had to choose one of the others in the 2c bricks. i went with the one i hated less Albany cream i feel very sad and no longer feel excited about the front of the house.

Re: Sharon's build with home group WA 35Dec 06, 2013 3:33 pm How exciting, I really enjoyed my pre-start experience.
