Those floors will be amazing. Yeah the pics just representative but we're springing for the select grade. I like the feature grades for the look and they also cost less but hubby doesn't, I don't think it would have suited our house anyway. Re: our custom knock down rebuild - Newcastle NSW - selectio 77Aug 20, 2015 6:43 pm Great selections!! And lovely looking bricks I'm looking forward to seeing it all come together. Re: our custom knock down rebuild - Newcastle NSW - slab! 78Aug 20, 2015 11:03 pm Leksie5000 admodra I really like your design. It's getting exciting now! I'll be interested to see what you decide with your bathroom layout. We also considered this but didn't end up going that way. I really like the idea but I wondered if I would get sick of the bath being wet all the time once the kids are mainly having showers. It's probably not a big deal really. Thanks. It's amazing how something so simple in terms of the design takes so long to decide upon. But that's what we wanted simple with space where we needed it. Yeah the bathroom was a tricky decision. In the end we've decided on this - http://i387.photobucket.com/albums/oo319/leksola/Mobile%20Uploads/image_16.jpg The joiner was a bit bummed, he loves the wet area but some of the other professionals (with kids!) said that the wet area was too impractical. I think it would end up annoying me. It's a compromise definitely walking onto the shower, but we get a beautiful big 1m shower with a frameless screen, comfortable bath and a good spot for the towel rail. We will make it work in terms of design. It also allows a nice 1.2 metre vanity and the storage with that will be essential (we've got a little girl baby ) I totally get what you mean. I think the wet area looks great and sounds like a good idea but in reality I think it would annoy me also. I like the layout you have gone with. I think it will be very functional. It's very similar to what we have - same size room I think also. Would you consider a cavity slider for a bit of space saving? viewtopic.php?f=31&t=76666 our custom build on 25 acres Re: External selections 79Aug 20, 2015 11:08 pm Leksie5000 Hi all Here are our external selections.

We are also going for 'contemporary without feeling too 'cold''. Is the blackbutt your flooring? You have probably already said I may have missed it. Yep it's Blackbutt select grade. We wanted to go for the wide boards but decided to save the $ (and risk of them lifting). The outside decking is also Blackbutt which is why it's there with the outside colours. We will run the boards the same way, I guess and just open the large doors onto the deck so it just has that look of running through. Of course outside will weather nicely over time. We were lucky in that our old house was so small (86 square metres) compared to the new house, they were able to take enough readings around the old backyard house before… 8 36911 The biggest challenge will be if you take out a loan and then run out of money - you'll have an incomplete security and lenders do not like this so you can get stuck.… 2 18895 Hi, I am looking into doing a KDR in Melbourne and am contemplating using Kialla Homes.
