Re: Things you forget - summary page 32 814Aug 02, 2014 2:16 pm It's not so much we forgot - we didn't know anything about tile mitring and the interior designer we met with to help make selections (service offered by builder) didn't mention it, tile shop didn't mention it, pre-start girl didn't mention it and now we are almost finished build and seen our tiles aren't mitred and have horrible terracotta coloured edge!! This goes around nib wall in ensuite and is very noticeble! If we had been told this was something we had to specifically ask for we would have! Make sure you specify this!! Haven't asked our builder bout it yet but we are very disappointed it wasn't discussed as optional , they knew we were first time builders. Re: Things you forget - summary page 32 816Aug 03, 2014 6:56 am Could you go for a steel strip/edging instead or would it be too late? It is mentioned here viewtopic.php?f=21&t=42501&p=648062&hilit=steel+mitre+tile#p648062 and here is a picture with some steel edging http://blog.hgtvremodels.com/2012/09/17 ... etal-trim/ I didn't know about mitre tiles either until I found this forum Re: Things you forget - summary page 32 818Aug 05, 2014 12:26 pm First post! This is an awesome list and will be very useful in the coming months. We are about to start building and I had a thought...do you think it would be wise to install the freestanding wood heater before the ceiling and colourbond roof goes on?
