Does builders insurance cover all that? I was so paranoid about my windows getting stolen the Builder had them sitting in my neighbours driveway for a good 6 weeks and oddly not one went missing. Makes me wonder how is someone supposed to use a custom stolen windows seriously?! Hope they sort it soon Hey also don't worry about the panelling I'm actually considering upgrading my alfresco plaster to what you were taking about too. They look was better than normal plaster. Here's a pic below for a bit of Inspo that might help. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Yep all covered by insurance, luckily. The window thing is just odd. It was already installed upstairs, so someone had to climb up the temporary ladder and take it down again. Would have been a bit of effort... Thanks for the pic, yeah that looks really good. I've been looking at the easy clad product by easy craft as an option. Have you heard of them? Getting my SS to look into it for me as no idea of quality or cost.

Checked yours out. I see what you mean. So you can't paint it white then?

We probably will end up painting it white after handover but I wanted to wait and see how it ends up looking once the decking goes in below. We got the same on the front porch. Just a shame to spend 5K+ on something that you don’t end up liking very much but I still think it looks better than just plaster. - View my blog at www.waldorfgrangebuild.wordpress.com Re: Our Custom Hamptons Inspired Home - Frame Stage 498Oct 19, 2017 6:20 am Waldorf_Grange_Build We probably will end up painting it white after handover but I wanted to wait and see how it ends up looking once the decking goes in below.

Was not expecting that much. But yes, will definitely look amazing and so much better than plaster! Re: Our Custom Hamptons Inspired Home - Frame Stage 499Oct 20, 2017 9:10 pm Never heard of it. Please let me know how you go Re: Our Custom Hamptons Inspired Home - Frame Stage 500Oct 24, 2017 7:04 am So the latest is: - Scaffolding is back up but no sign of linea boards yet - Quote from Stone Ambassador came in just over $1K cheaper than Caesarstone (very similar products/colours). Was hoping it would be a lot cheaper than that but I’ll take it! Maybe if we were having stone instead of laminate in the laundry and upstairs bath... - Builder came across a problem with our elevations in terms of our garage roof line. Turns out a last minute change to raise the roof line to get developer approval affected our upstairs rear windows windows and the front upstairs window over the garage. This was not picked up. We now need to raise the rear upstairs windows by 100mm which is no big deal. But the front upstairs window above the garage is too long. We now need to order a new, shorter window for that. Hope it doesn’t look terrible given the corresponding window on the other side will be longer Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ - Still waiting to have water tapping issue sorted. The infrastructure manager went out to inspect a few weeks ago and believes the point can be moved to the side of our driveway and tucked behind our retaining wall and this would be a lot better than relocating it to the other side of the block. Now just need confirmation from the water company. - Having second thoughts about our white subway wall tiles in the ensuite, powder etc. they are not really a traditional size being 100x300 which the tile consultant convinced me are less busy than smaller tiles and obviously they are way cheaper. BUT... is it going to look tacky?? Maybe just need to see more pics online to reassure myself lol like this one. Guess I’m just used to seeing the smaller ones on Pinterest which are more common Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Hi, can anyone recommend a custom home builder who can build in north east area?
