Bugger to it only being wet look though!!! What does that mean, just that it's a bit more glossy? Is it possible to get a credit from JG for ruling and source tiling yourselves?? I should clarify for everyone that the "Wet" doesn't look as wet and shiny as it sounds. I had to get down to a low angle facing the sun to get it to show on camera and looking at them every time I go past they don't actually look shiny at all. Standing above the tile, even in full sun, they look matt, its bizarre! Not like a polished tile at all. In a big room though, I worry that somewhere always catch the light. Although that doesn't bother me when I've seen the Axis white lappato laid. The closest thing I can liken it too is lappato, although the cretement wet is less shiny than the axis lappato. We have asked about owner supply, they won't do that anymore. They are happy for us to delete the tiles and do it after handover however they are saying that they have to do the laundry which is attached to the main space so we'd have to rip them up. They have previously said they have to do the kitchen as well but surely that's not right, heaps of people do their kitchens after handover. We'd prefer not to have to go down that path but it is an option. Re: JG King modified Heywood - Bricks started! 735Jun 23, 2017 10:51 am bank emts well we are going the Cretement (the darker one) as well so my thoughts are well known! did like the ash as well, but wee going for a darker theme so slab grey it is. did you ask them to check their web site...it has the 600x600 ash white in Matt http://www.beaumont-tiles.com.au/All-Pr ... t+&pspid=1 compared to the same with wet http://www.beaumont-tiles.com.au/All-Pr ... t+&pspid=1 The Matt 600 is textured. The tile girl quickly warned me off those indoors! Not that she needed to tell me, we've lived with textured tiles inside before, it takes a scrubbing brush to clean them. Did you go the 450 or 600 in the slab grey? We considered the slab last year because it has less colour variation across the tile but we want to stay light now that we know what our north neighbours are up to. Slab is 450 only, no option for bigger. Considering now JG only include tiles in bathroom and laundry and not kitchen their comments seem a bit strange. and know what you mean with the wet look, we saw it and said no straight up, it's a weird finish plus I would expect when wet in bathrooms would be very slippery.

It's on their website in 600 and I have some pictures I saved from homeone when I was looking last year. Only wet or textured like the other 600's though.

Back is done and they were working on the top of the alfresco columns this afternoon . They feel very chunky.

Without a floor it's so tall it makes it look small in photos. We've also had a visit from a plumber either Friday or Saturday morning, bath is properly plumbed in now and the hot water service pipes have been extended. Last week was our first full 5 day week of work, so we're feeling pretty good at the moment! Really looking forward to meeting our new SS tomorrow to run through all the issues and find out what next!

He seems much more switched on and communicative. I'm not sure that the last guy passed anything on to him. He was unaware we were waiting for a date to book our pre-plaster inspection. We've ended up booking it for this afternoon, insulation won't be in like our inspector prefers but he is going away tomorrow and plaster is currently scheduled for Friday. Bricks should be finished Wed/Thurs, but I'm thinking possibly Thurs/Fri. The missing roof capping will be finished while the plaster is being done, but the cladding around the skillion won't be done until late next week because the last SS never ordered the material . So I'll be keeping fingers crossed for minimal rain.
He'll have the roofers fix the skillion capping so that it matches the drawings, I still won't be surprised if they come back with an excuse why it can't be, but he didn't put up any fight so I'm happy. He also agreed the water damaged doors are stuffed and will be replaced! He didn't seem thrilled with the previous SS's management style and is hoping to get things flowing a bit smoother from now, we're certainly feeling much better . I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending.
