Sore/stiff neck for Hombre these past few weeks. Poor thing! This is the verandah ready for second fix electrical.

Hombre wants to do the render bit first in the inside of the garage using the granosite product that we got from Solver before painting. He's a bit nervous about it but will give it a go. If it is any good, we will do it for the entire house. Owner Builders in boot-shaped Yorke Peninsula : viewtopic.php?f=38&t=80264& Re: OB in SA 512Mar 02, 2017 2:26 pm So we went to the kitchen place at 7am this morning on my way to work to look at colours and discuss a bit more about the kitchen and laundry. Our kitchen guy was there on time and we spent the next hour discussing our kitchen and laundry. Our laundry layout will be as it is, just that the washer and dryer will have a partition in between. This is so that there's no need to move the basket a whole lot if you are moving stuff from the washer to the dryer (like in layout 2 above). I was worried about the weight but they didn't seem worried. So very happy. Nothing is too complicated for them it seems. We have picked our colours for the kitchen. The colours will be basically the sample that we got a while back. Always the case, you always seem to go back to your first choice. For the cabinetry, they took our sample piece to be sent for colour matching as we could not find the exact match in their samples. Either too dark or too light. Then they will send us a sample piece a week later to sign-off on. I am loving this process. Hope it is as smooth until the end.

My wallet would be feeling the hernia now. It is Beetaloo. Hoping to get some discount if we actually go ahead with it. Our wallet is past that, it is on life support now. Lol! Owner Builders in boot-shaped Yorke Peninsula : viewtopic.php?f=38&t=80264& Re: OB in SA 516Mar 02, 2017 10:01 pm I needed about 120m2 of floor tiles for my living areas. I called in on tile suppliers every 2~ 3 months for over a year until tiles that I liked came on the heavily discounted and discontinued list. I got then at $22 plus country delivery instead of $70. (25% of retail price) But I did over order a bit and still have an unopened pallet of tiles. P.S.. As I type this message, my property is under threat from another bush fire. Tomorrow morning the aerial water bombers come in and hopefully that will bring the fire back under control.

Hope for you (if you are there at this point) and your property's safety and also of those others that live in the same area. Let us know how it went. Hope the wind blows the right way tonight. Away from you guys.... On tiles: You give me hope Beetaloo! We are open to look at similar tiles that may be a bit cheaper. Our open plan floor incl. pantry is around 100m2. We will also order a bit more than what we need (we did that for our bathroom/laundry tiles) so if we run out or if a tile breaks in the future, we got spares.

But I reckon I will be sitting on the verandah and work there on a nice day like today most of the time. Behind the scenes. Lol!

Hombre will have a go at doing the render in the garage tomorrow. We have picked Colorbond Dune for the render, see how it looks like. If we are not happy with the colour, we will look at something else. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Owner Builders in boot-shaped Yorke Peninsula : viewtopic.php?f=38&t=80264& |
