We are removing a large tree and thought it would all take longer or we would need to fight the case a bit on it. So relieved its gone through painlessly! Now we need to find somewhere else to live so this place can be demolished. Baulkham Hills - I noticed a new Eden Brae house going up down the road from you. It looks like a lincoln so I am looking forward to seeing the progress of it going up. Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10487May 10, 2014 11:17 am To hob or not to hob? To those that have finished their build & moved in can you offer me any advice on tiled shower hobs? Has anyone gone with no shower hob, and if so do you have a problem with water leaking onto the main floor after a shower? I would prefer to go without the shower hob, but not if it means the floor is always wet/needing to be mopped up! Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10488May 10, 2014 12:01 pm We went with no hob and have a semi frameless shower. There is no water leakage from shower. Just normal water on floor after stepping from shower in and out when wet. Built a Hawthorne 31 with EB nessjeffdreamhouse.blogspot.com.au Building an investment now with New Living homes...

Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10489May 10, 2014 12:34 pm Going without a hob just means that the angle of the tiles towards the drain needs to be spot on otherwise you will get puddling... should not be a problem.

Our door which had been damaged before handover (strange dusty mortar splashes) has been sanded back and re stained. I am REALLY happy with it. The painters were even game enough to paint our lintels without me needing to restrain my two dogs (rottweiler and a beagle). Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10491May 10, 2014 7:50 pm We went hobless, although we haven't moved in yet. There is about 1cm or so of metal sticking up through the tiles where the showerscreen will be, which I assume would control some waterflow as well. Dunno if it stays there when they install the screen. What we were originally going to ask for was the shower floor to be recessed into the slab, so you have to step down into the shower, but the sales guy didn't really understand what we meant and wrote down hobless. Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10492May 11, 2014 9:55 am CodyD Glad that the painters turned up to finish the house and that you're happy with the end result Kim Great to hear about the tree and that things are moving along for you guys. My partner told me about the EB house going up down the road from us.

We have a fixed tapware on the basin, but the issue is it is too lengthy. We house was not on display and the one we looked at (different house) had small tapware. Do you think cook will chnage the tapware? Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10495May 13, 2014 5:30 pm Needtoknow... Did you get standard tapware or upgrade? We went with the standard in the lifestyle range... I personally don't have issues with it. I have mixers in all areas including the laundry and the spouts are fine in all areas. They are long enough to pour water into the basins and don't splash around the basin. We only upgraded the ensuite shower head and added a towel rack in that appointment.

Far too long for our vanity basins.One could have knocked teeth out when washing your face first thing in the morning and I would have constantly been cleaning toothpaste spitout off the spout! We have the long tapware. Was very upset about this last year as the basin that they gave us had an edge that was massive. The only tap that was long enough to pass the thick edge was the long one. We couldn't find an alternative that would work. It's not nice seeing your kids thump their heads against the taps. We have their foot stools either side of the basin now and constantly remind them about the tap. Very frustrating! Also because of the length of the tap we can't wash our face in the middle of the basin. Have to tilt to the side, but water is still splashed all over the place. It's a very poor design selection on the part of EBH team Slab – 31 Oct 2012 Frame - 15 Nov 2012 Bricks – 26 Nov 2012 Roof - 14 Jan 2013 Lock Up- 11 Feb 2013 PCI- 23rd May 2013 Settlement - 7th June 2013 Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10499May 13, 2014 8:45 pm My spouts are standard but they are not fixed spouts, I can swivel them across the basin. So they can be in the centre of the basin or on the side. I just checked all spouts move around the basin so I can choose where the water goes.

Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10500May 13, 2014 9:21 pm Hi everyone, We've got our tiling appointment at Di Lorenzo this Saturday. Do you choose your kitchen splashback tiles at this appointment? Or is it only flooring and bathrooms? As we haven't had our kitchen appointment yet we're struggling to decide what colour splashback tiles we'll go with until kitchen colours are locked in. Thanks, Hayley I built with EB back on 2009.
