Almost a slab 37Jul 22, 2014 1:01 pm Couple of questions.... We have chosen polar white drawers throughout the kitchen, with Absolute Stone Dune benchtops. Would you have a white or stainless steel dishwasher? Fridge/freezer, microwave, cooktop and oven all stainless steel, but they are on another wall. Also, does anyone have a picture of a Glasskote splashback in Bauxite? I seem to have chosen this, according to the colour selections list, but it looks really black - which I wouldn't have chosen. Not sure if it's different on the net to real life? (Hopefully) or they got it wrong at the selection meeting.

Almost a slab 38Jul 23, 2014 11:29 pm personal preference...I would have stainless steel, but I think the trend (eventually) will head back to white appliances again. depends on what look you are after.. have a look at the photos on houzz.com search 'white appliances' you'll soon find out if you like it more or not Our build thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=66620 Re: Our KDR - Gemmill....... Almost a slab 39Jul 25, 2014 10:12 am Well, it's been over 8 weeks since the slab went down, and we are still waiting for bricks to be completed. No builders on site for over a week this time, but they have never really been there more than 3 days in a row since the begining. So we are starting to get a little frustrated! We have been on to the CLO several times. (We are now up to #4 in three months or so). The latest story was that some things had been stolen off the site, which the brickies need to continue - but she couldn't tell us what. Just that they had 240 days to finish, and they are well within their time frame! Eventually, after some "words", she had the SS call us. Now it seems that nothing has been stolen, but one of the lintels was manufactured wrong, and two were not delivered. And one of the pilings for the garage has not been done, so they can't finish the walls until the concrete guys come back and do that. It would have been nice for them to let us know...... anyway. Our SS (#3 since the slab went down) is meeting husband on site on Tuesday. In the meantime, the block has sat empty (other than half built walls) for another week. And they wonder why people get frustrated with them. We understand that there will be delays. As usual, it is the lack of communication - just one phone call would help so much, and they wouldn't have to deal with irate and annoyed clients. You would think they would learn - wouldn't you? In the meantime, I'm still looking at floors, and have moved on to lights. I'll leave the stress to the husband and focus on the fun stuff - shopping. Oh, and I bought an ottoman last night off Gumtree!! Not sure where I will use it - lounge or music room, or gym room - but it will get used somewhere.
