So most likely not in till after New Year. Will sell our present house just before we move as last time we sold too early and had to move into temp accomodation for about 10 weeks. Very expensive, very stressful and the biggest pain out. Kay A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

I had a typical womens reaction today and rushed down to the tile place to change our tile colours. I was doing black and off-white in both bathrooms and now the bathroom will be black & white and the en-suite will be choc floor and taupe/ivory colours. At least I am happy with them now. After tomorrow I wont be changing anymore colours. Let the doubts on colours go away now. Kay A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

You have done a very good job picking them. Is the red in the kitchen going to be your splashback?? Thankyou and yes the red is the splashback. It was going to be blueish/greenish/redish and any other colour you can think of. It was almost a meenie miney mo choice. The black CS is on the back bench and white cs on the island bar. White cupboards above and below and the madagascar on the oven tower. Kay A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

I have changed the colour of the splashback to Haymes "Blue Spark". It is slightly darker than in this pick but they don't have a card for it. It is between this shade and a darker shade. I decided the red one was not the one for us. We havent signed off on our colours yet so it was ok to change. Kay Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

Originally it was going to be plain black & white. No feature tiles in either bathrooms. I had a sleepless night the day before colours and was lucky enough to go back to Hynes Tiles and change a few things. Much happier with my choices now. No more changes now.

Should I excavate and cut all of the dirt to level with the house slab or semi-excavate as per photo above? Both left and right… 0 25770 Thanks very much! And would the landscaper/contractor generally involve the engineer or is that something the client would do? Thanks for your help 2 10720 |
