Thanks in Advance Dream homes Re: Building a modified Coral Noosa 279 - We're In 397Jan 29, 2014 11:12 am yj0119 May I ask where you have purchased your 2 x wall light?? I know it is from Germany but where exactly did you buy them from. Hi, and thanks! Those lights are winners, I love them. This is the model: http://www.slvlighting.com/products/wal ... -slot.aspx (Go down to the photos, and GL 102 specs) You will find them for sale everywhere, that whole range of lights seem to be popular the world over. I got them from eBay of all places. All up they cost us €92.82, or $121.84 AUD - for 2x lights delivered. The shops I've seen in AU sell them for $100+ each. Just be sure to buy them from a 220/240 volt country - i.e. not from the US. Also they're listed as Halogen lights but I've only put Halogen light bulbs in them once to test them - they were very bright. They use a light bulb spec called R7s, and note that they're 78mm long bulbs - the short version. I picked up some 6W LED bulbs from eBay and we've used them ever since. It's exactly the light level that I was trying to get out of them so I couldn't be happier all round really. If you'd like the same bulbs just search for "R7S 78mm LED" on eBay and pick the more reputable seller... as much as we can tell. I paid $15 each for these bulbs. That's a bit more expensive because they're dimmable but you'd never want to dim them unless you're going for a real low lit, theatre experience. Those LEDs are ugly as sin... but you can't see them anyway, and they work a treat.

I'm not impressed with the fitting issues to begin with. When we were first looking at Coral they were using Stegar doors and windows and we were pretty happy about that. By the time we progressed to contract stage they had changed suppliers to A&L Windows, this bugged us because we don't know anything about them. At this stage I can say the windows and doors don't feel as sturdy or slide as well as the two year old Trend windows in my parents house. A few months ago I put an A&L window and sliding door into the shed I built, to keep things consistent with the house. The sliding doors in the house don't feel as good as the shed door either. Perhaps it's a fitting thing and the bricks will add something to the feel. But at this stage they feel cheap and light. Not what we expected at all. Day: 42 Now I understand why I got the same feeling looking at my A&L stacking doors... Your post confirmed my feeling. So far 30 days have gone and we are at the same stage but our registration/paperwork went through the Christmas break... Also, we've got a new SS from today. Hope this one will last until handover.

Your post confirmed my feeling. Yeah, I still haven't changed my mind on A&L. Some of the largest windows here have 5mm glass in them for safety reasons (i.e. the ability to trip and fall through them) and these windows especially feel very heavy when opening and closing them. But to be fair the Kitchen window with the standard thickness glass feels very light to touch and I don't mind that one at all. I just wish they all moved that easily. After cleaning them a few times now we still have some building grime in some of the door and window tracks. If you see the same at your place I recommend you get on your SS straight away about getting them cleaned up before the dirt becomes a permanent member of your home. My Build Thread: Coral Homes Noosa 279 Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 14182 In Qld it is a requirement that a builder must have a cost breakdown, for building a home to the same specification, with the same inclusions and the same finish. So ask… 1 4376 |
