On the bright side you won’t have someone distracted with issues putting up the primary supports in your house... That's true. Hopefully the new framing crew will be worth the wait. I was thinking of asking for a few extra noggins where the tvs will be mounted, perhaps they'll do that for me to make up for the delay Our Henley Aegean45 Re: Building Mainvue Aegean430 - 45sq in Berwick Waters 154Oct 13, 2017 8:07 am Aegean430 SAFA1 That sucks!!

I was always going to ask at this stage but maybe now I might get a yes. Lol. Our Henley Aegean45 Building Mainvue Aegean430 - 45sq in Berwick Waters 156Oct 14, 2017 11:01 am So while I wait I've been looking into the window furnishings. I'm thinking a mixture of coverings including sheers, blockout linings, roller blinds on some windows and plantation shutters in the bathrooms. I also came across a product called http://www.verishades.com seems like a good idea as it's basically a modern take on the vertical blinds whereby it looks like sheers, then you turn the rod and it becomes a blockout blind - 2 products in one, on one track. The initial "con" for me was the bottom is not hemmed or overlocked, it just looks like it's cut which I didn't like. Also the individual panels could get quite "blowy" when the alfresco doors are open. However, I then received the quote for $20k and quickly decided against it. The other quotes I have received so far vary from $10k - $17k so I'm just letting that sink in for a bit. My other dilemma is the couch in the family room, I would like a "u-shape" ideally but also don't want it too closed in. I like the thought of all of us sitting anywhere and talking to each other face to face, and not the focus of our attention to be the tv. I've decided on the couch & ottoman for the theatre & a lovely leather armchair for the study but the family room is my nemesis at the moment, so I think I'll wait for the frame or even plaster to measure it up and decide.

Already to feel the size of different rooms Yes at first I thought the rooms felt smaller than I remembered but I’ve read that it can feel that way at frame stage but bigger once plaster is up. Thank you, I’m thrilled that it’s finally moving along and starting to take shape.
