That's interesting about the sink, I wonder if we'll have to change ours too..? Building with Simonds in S.A The sink I originally chose was the Gem vanity - it was an upgrade, but I totally had my heart set on it after seeing it in the gallery. Turns out that because it has no overflow it wasn't allowed. It really surprises me that they didn't know that it doesn't meet regulations... Which vanity did you pick? We totally over spent at selections so were forced to go standard. I know which sink you mean though, it is a beaut!

The major changes I did were: - raised ceiling in entry and main living area - upgraded to 6 slider door in main living area, 3 door slider to rear family room - butler's pantry - rear of house upgrade, with laundry and bathroom flipped - extended bedrooms 3 and 4 another 600 at the back - added alfresco at rear - ensuite and bathroom upgrades to have bench the whole length across, but only with one basin - sliding doors to B1, ensuite, and between B3/4 When it came to gallery, I did a fair few extra things: - caesarstone benchtops in kitchen and BP, with one waterfall end to island - caesarstone benchtops to ensuite and bathroom - niches in both showers - half wall height tiling to ensuite, 2000 height to bathroom, half height to laundry - upgraded basins in bathrooms - that really massive front door handle that all the displays seem to have - downlights - additional cabinetry in laundry, kitchen I came in under my budget, so that was good, especially as now so many of my after handover costs have blown out a bit more than I was expecting! Retaining is sooo expensive! I'm Building Palisdae too just wondering how much was the upgrade to caeserstone benchtops? how much were the extra power points each Re: Building the Simonds Palisade in Springwood SA 135Feb 15, 2017 8:25 pm Risachan cooper229 I ' googled ' eclectic i should have said lol typo!?
