With regards to the bathroom tiling it is one of our biggest regrets now. At the time, we thought it wasn't necessary as 2.1m was enough and we were a bit freaked out over costs as we had splurged and overspent quite a bit. But now, we really feel like the extra bit of money for ceiling tiling would've have been worth it. It would have overall bettered the entire look of the home. Hi Zanzibar, your selections look great, and I'm looking forward to watching your build progress. If you still decide you would have preferred tiling to ceiling in wet areas once you have moved in, maybe you could get a tiler to finish the job for you? The only thing you need to watch out for is slight variations in the tile colours - as they will be from different batches.

I think what you have suggested is really the best solution and plan on doing something about it as soon as I get the keys as I probably won't be moving in until the tiles are done as well. Re: Building the Zanzibar 45 with Metricon 18Oct 14, 2018 6:52 am Hi Zanzibar, How is your experience with pre-pour inspection? Normally how many days does it take from site start to pre-pour insp? My site-start will be on the 18th Oct and planning for pre-pour insp. Did you find any issues from Metricon side while organising this, I mean co-ordinating the entire thing. Were there any things that came up inspection requiring a fixing. Thanks in advance. Re: Building the Zanzibar 45 with Metricon 20Oct 14, 2018 6:38 pm Thanks for your detailed reply and time.
