is your staircase solid wood or is it clad? Just wondering as we are going to clad our mdf staircase with 12mm solid wood as a cheaper option to building the frame and staircase from solid wood.

Cheers Dy Hi DeeElle, Its solid wood...thats a good way of saving $$...will the final result be the same? Someone with a good eye for detail could tell straight away.. Main difference will be the 83mm width as opposed to full size board that you have on your staircase. Ours will also have a straight edge to match the contemporary look of our house (rather than bullnose). Re: Our Dream Home 252Nov 23, 2007 4:50 pm Had the inspection done...Kevin said he will email thru the report this morning but he didnt so I called him and he said in the afternoon..nothing yet and its nearly 6pm... been trying to call him with no success.....stress..stress..the supervisor is eager to get the list so he can get started asap..he has done what he knows of...
Other problem is our neigbour refuses to prepay for the fence...the fence company said if we want to be at the front of 30 jobs and not have to wait till feb next year the only way is to pay up front...so we paid for all of it and will have to get payment off our "nice" neighbour....did the run around with him for the last 6 weeks just to try and get him to sign!!!!! Re: Our Dream Home 254Nov 23, 2007 5:46 pm ladyice so we paid for all of it and will have to get payment off our "nice" neighbour....did the run around with him for the last 6 weeks just to try and get him to sign!!!!! I don't believe you will EVER see that money now. Re: Our Dream Home 255Nov 23, 2007 6:10 pm parker ladyice so we paid for all of it and will have to get payment off our "nice" neighbour....did the run around with him for the last 6 weeks just to try and get him to sign!!!!! I don't believe you will EVER see that money now. Its so very unfortunate that we cant choose our neighbours!!!! Re: Our Dream Home 256Nov 23, 2007 6:11 pm Casa2 Ladyice, The cooktop looks great. Can you let us know what the item to the left of the gas cooktop is? Looks like an electric cooktop (or warming plate). Also, any chance of a photo of the kitchen zoomed out . I'd like to see how the extraction hood looks. Yes, looking for ideas for my house. Cheers, Casa Casa, will get some pics up when we have moved in...havent taken any pics for a while.... Re: Our Dream Home 259Dec 06, 2007 12:29 pm Sorry Mek...been caught up with heaps of things...Kevin picked up quite a few things we missed out on..a few missing weepholes and a couple of articulation joints...they fixed the tiles pretty well...one of the airconditioners doesnt work which needs to be looked at by LG...the last job is the carpenter needs to realign the shelf between the microwave and oven..seems to be a common problem.....one word of advice- turn the lights on when u do any inspections!! You will be surprised what you think looks okay!!!
There are a few minor render and paint touch ups which they will do all at once at the 90 day maintenance check...other than that we are all good... Handover may be tomorrow or early next week...thanks everyone for all your advice and following our 10 month journey!!! I will make sure I post some pics when we have moved in..... Re: Our Dream Home 260Dec 07, 2007 10:54 am Just curious, how are they going to fix "missing weep holes"? Drill a hole through the mortar?? We already paid for somfy motors for the blinds. The quote above was purely for “pre-wiring” so the blinds company can install the motors and blinds. That’s why we… 5 16275 of course there are legal avenues. You've already mentioned it. Sue them.
