If its not one thing, its another. We originally selected some floor tiles for the wet areas that were 200x200. We were told that was all our builder would allow, as it was the only way to get the fall right. So we'd selected tiles, but weren't really happy with them. Anyway, last week we asked if we could have larger tiles (300x300) and were told we could. Happy days. So off to the tile shop early this morning. Asked if they had the same tiles as we'd already selected, but the bigger size. No, only 200's and 400's. Bugger! We'd taken in our main floor tile to help match up and the sales lady checked if that tile had a matching smaller tile. It didn't, not that that concerned us, as we didn't really want an exact match. BUT she did also find out the main tile we'd chosen has been discontinued. Crap. We will find out Monday if we can still get it, or need to rechoose. Very pleased tho we found out now, not in 6 months time. We also found a wet area tile that will work, also waiting on confirmation of availability of this also. We also got another draft of our plans yesterday. From our experience and what I've read on here, there is a huge need for competent draftspeople. There were so many errors on our plans. Hi can something that was right on a previous plan now be wrong? So wewentovr these with a fine tooth comb and hopefully found all the errors. So a busy day today. Going out to the block tomorrow to mark out where we want the house to be built. Also finalise the selection sheet ready for council.
