Oh yeah we did. I got the guy to take at least 30% off. And give us future good deals online as well. Was suppose to be $1000 got it for $700.

If I didn’t buy the cleaning stuff viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: New here we are building the Doulton 56 with extension 1155Apr 16, 2018 10:08 pm Doulton777 Tribe7 I found your thread Doulton . Firstly how many children do you have? It took me 25 pages to find your plans and saw snippets of a big family . Holy cow that’s one monstrous house you have built I am go smacked at the size wow!! The pictures are gorgeous, that stair case and the detail in the hand railing is beautiful, I love how your tiler ran the tile up under the island bench for the kicker. You have so many bathrooms, oh my goodness, all amazing too. Looking forward to seeing you finish and moving onto the landscaping and decorating Hahahaha thanks. I have 11 in total but only 9 at home. I’m probably biased but the house does look amazing. And the stairs are just beautiful. Its probably one of the reasons why we decided on that design. That and the fact that it would be extended easier. Now the kicker. I think is a much better touch specially in the kitchen. I guess it also makes it more solid. Then to add a normal kicker. Theres like 2 ensuite, guest room with ensuite/powder room. Then there’s another powder room up stairs. Plus two jack and Jill’s bathrooms. But I’m all set got my cleaning products from the melbourne home show. Hopefully is will help keep it cleaner. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Suppose to prevent dirt from building up. Suppose to slide right off. Payed a fair bit but I think it will be worth it with so many bathrooms. There is 7 bedrooms in total. Original design had 5. We also added a lounge at the back of the house by building over the alfresco area. Where those stacker doors are. In total the house is nearly 67sq. viewtopic.php?t=86597 11 and 9 at home OMG how does your washing machine cope? My washing machine shudders when it sees me coming and I only have 5. Mine as still young and like to change clothes 50 times a day 🤦🏼♀️. That’s incredible to have such a big family, well done . I counted the bathrooms and had a little panic the cleaning will be mammoth but your sorted with good products and sealing the grout will help so much too. You can be as biased as you like your home is beautiful and you should be very proud. I haven’t seen anyone do a tile kicker for a long time, it’s very refined. The stairs are a statement and a half, I went to visit the Bordeaux display up here and was blown away with there stairs. You have them in your home, how amazing is that. 67sq is a gigantic house, will you have much yard space left?

My daughter will get married soon. Just think of how nice she will be coming down the stairs in her gown. We spent a bit on our washing machine. At the new house we have installed two taps. So we can have two washing machines. You have a large family too. I remember when I had the 5. I had 5 under 6 and I was 24. I remember those days too. They used to change their clothes so much lol. It must be a faze they go through. I also had 7 girls straight the last 4 are boys. Don’t worry they will grow out of it. Which house are you building again? How big is yours bedrooms etc....? It’s hard with space for large families. I don’t see many large families who are building. It’s nice too see. How many girls and boys have you got? Can’t wait to see your build. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: New here we are building the Doulton 56 with extension 1157Apr 17, 2018 12:51 am Ok guys I need you advice. With the stair part when the curved part is. Do you think it looks ok with that design? Or do you think that part would look better if it was plastered and matched in with the rest of the curve? The square set cornices created that design. The original display has it just circular. Our private inspector seems to think it adds a very nice feature and it’s different to other designs that are just circular. What do you guys think?

Reason being that the stairs themselves are the key feature there, they don't need anything else around them to stand out Looks beautiful either way though. Re: New here we are building the Doulton 56 with extension 1159Apr 17, 2018 10:55 am Definitely circular with the plaster to the edge That is how it is in display. And that's how I will do mine.
