Can you tell me what it's called/ where from? Bugger about the essa stone changes Re: Alkimos Aveling first timers! 3May 01, 2016 9:54 pm Hey Dani, thanks I just checked our schedule as I couldn't even remember the tile shop! So long ago now, January I think we did them. It's called Palatino Textile Flax, from European Ceramics in Ossie Park. They also do the same but in brown/grey tones which I preferred but then we struggled to find floor tiles to blend it with. So grey/brown it was! Amazing how different grey/brown is to brown/grey.. My other half doesn't get it Re: Alkimos Aveling first timers! 5May 01, 2016 10:28 pm Thanks Nelly! Yes the activity was one of the good things about the Aveling plan. It's based on their Rosemoor floor plan from a couple years back, which they've updated to the current Vale S3... We have upgraded some of the Rosemoor to be almost the same as the Vale, but for less $$$. I also have a thing about sinks in island units so that was relegated to be facing the wall, and the pantry made bigger so it's nearly 3x3. And the alfresco and garage made bigger.. Trying to fill up the block lol Looking forward to a slab! Re: Alkimos Aveling first timers! 6May 01, 2016 10:50 pm Haha yes, the boys don't quite get the subtle colour differences... which is why they are better off leaving this stuff to us to obsess over!! I've been on Pinterest all night myself looking at various shades of subway tiles . Thanks for the info. Will check out. Looking forward to following your thread Re: Alkimos Aveling first timers! 7May 01, 2016 10:53 pm Pinterest is a dangerous time filler! And I think 'pallets, we could make that with pallets!' Meanwhile back in the real world my OH took 90m today to fit wheels onto a plank of wood to make a diy skateboard for our eldest. So the pallets will live another day Re: Alkimos Aveling first timers! 15May 13, 2016 1:40 pm Congrats on having the slab down! I love the nice big garage and alfresco you have there, I wish I could fit a garage like that on my block but we're working with about half the space! Looking forward to seeing how your build goes.

Thanks itsmartin. The bigger garage with side roller door was the only thing my partner specified he wanted - a triple garage would have been good as the block is wide but it was too many $$$. Think he thinks he will have room for all his bits and bobs and for the trailer and my car and still have room for his BJJ mats! Re: Alkimos Aveling first timers! 17Jun 15, 2016 4:08 pm Lots has happened since my last update, with our two lovely brickies doing a really neat looking job. We have lots of internal rooms and maybe a third of the external walls. Few rained off days but all good. Met our SS who was also really helpful. So far so good Aveling!

Going for vinyl plank flooring due to it being (hopefully) hard wearing with two kids and two dogs! Here's a picture of the floor sample and carpet. Trevors have some deal with Aveling where we get a discount. Still pricey for lino floor lol Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Alkimos Aveling first timers! 19Jul 05, 2016 11:10 am Reached plate height now, looks a bit more like a house! Had our inspection yday so hopefully that will be ok. Brickies delayed a bit with some bad weather meaning we lost our slot this week with the roofer
