Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Anyone building with wentworth 33 with Clarendon? 13Apr 04, 2017 9:59 am We used the savings from the high ceilings to put in wooden stairs - should wear a lot better than carpet over the years. Also added in a gas point behind the family room wall for a future fireplace. We saw the gas fireplaces at the home show lately, and couldn't help ourselves. Actually had a pleasant surprise lately. Got some quotes for security screens (crimesafe style). Came back around $11-13k). Was expecting closer to $20k. The large stacker doors we've got on the back are $4000 by themselves, so not sure if we'll get them done. But the idea of getting the house screened up (excluding back door) for around $7k was a lot less than I expected. Look forward to seeing your plans.

They certainly don't miss you, although it's important to get your plans right early on. At our Re-tender we were cautioned about making many more changes or we'd need a re re tender. Unfortunately for us, by raising the ceiling to 2.75 downstairs we required an additional step to be added to the staircase. This in turn pushed the rumpus forward reducing the width of the room by 30cm. Didn't want to do that, so took out the higher ceilings in favour of the larger rumpus.

The ground one is 2.75m and first one is 2.6 . Both 'quote is about $7,000. What do you think? And I would like to have the glass stair case.
