I am not looking forward to the stress that is associated with building. Having uneven floors would have taken you over the edge!! I haven't yet done my research when it comes to floors. I just hate that we pay for the floors and we don't get any credit if we don't use their flooring. Did it end up being cheaper for you getting it done externally? Can you recommend a company for me to go check out? What? They make you pay for the floor and don’t give you a credit if it’s not being used? I’d have a chat to my sales agent and call their bluff. Lots of other companies like Rawson, Eden Brae and Clarendon wouldn’t do that. You can buy flooring from Abbey Timbers or EvaGroup.

Also put in TV antenna today. Ended up being $650 which got me.... * Aust made Antenna with 5 yr warranty * Colorbond roof mount. Designed to go with colorbond roofs so can use existing holes and screws and no need to drill extra holes. * 4 way coaxial splitter * Signal booster (essential since I have 4 Co ax points in the house and the signal deteriorates with each point. I can highly recommend Sukamal from Jim’s. He spent a good 4 hours on the job installing the antenna, installing the gear and checking the signal at each point. On the last co axial point tested, it was dead! No signal. He takes off the cover plate and what do we see??.... Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Yes that’s right! Vaccaro had installed the co axial cable but hadn’t of bothered to connect it to the face plate. ggrrrr. Luckily he had the crimping tool to do the job and free of charge. He connects the signal checker again and still no signal. He says he will climb back into the roof and replace the signal splitter on the off chance that it is faulty. He said he doubts that it is the case since it hasn’t happened ever. Does his thing. Comes back out of roof sweating it...tests the signal! Bam! It works! So what are the chances that both the cable wasn’t connected and the splitter was faulty! Anyway, I’m just glad it all worked out and Really happy with the work ethic of Sukamal in spending such a long time to make sure the job was done right the first time and for a discounted price too. I only wish more tradies were like that. Here’s is a pic of the splitter and signal amplifier in the roof. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Call Sukamal for all your antenna needs. I can not recommend him highly enough. +61 452 584 160 Cheers Nom Newhaven 36 by M Blog - North Shore Newhaven (http://nsnewhaven.blogspot.com.au) Build - https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=85092 Re: North Shore Newhaven (Sydney) 139Dec 13, 2017 11:36 pm I’ve had some discussions with people asking about overhead cabinetry height in the kitchen. Just to explain, the default design by Metricon is that if you have a kitchen window as a back splash, then the overhead cabinetry will hang down about 20mm past the top window frame. That is to say that anyone standing outside will see the back of your cabinets! So unless that’s the look you’re going for, You need to specify during your Kitchen Culture appointment that you want the overhead cupboards raised so they are not visible from the outside. It will then be noted in your paperwork.

Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Here you can see the window is 7mm bellied using a 2m level.

How progressing well. Our kitchen feature window also bows in the middle a little bit due the long window (3.7m).
