Re installing the towel rails and toilet roll holders - if you don't have dado tilling they can be installed. I do have dado so they'll have to be installed after tiling. My cabinets have been installed in one day - and just noticed that we have the same ensuite handles Preliminary agreement 23/11 Contract 22/03 Prestart 06/04 - finalised on 30/04 Unconditional approval 10/05 Demolition 05/07 Slab 26/08 Brickwork 13/09-06/10 Roof frame started 07/10 viewtopic.php?f=31&t=32292 Re: Lis’ Santorini – DAH - White Set, Cabinets & Lock Up! 130Nov 29, 2010 1:36 am Welcome to the same ensuite handles club and main doors for you and me Re: Lis’ Santorini – DAH - White Set, Cabinets & Lock Up! 131Nov 29, 2010 1:47 am oh... what time of day did you take the photo and what you have on the glass part of the main door? just wondered if there is enough light coming through.

My cabinets have been installed in one day - and just noticed that we have the same ensuite handles Thanks Bags Re your temp doors - is there a supply delay with yours perhaps? Maybe they've put up the temp doors just so that the house is now 'locked up' so they don't have to delay the rest of the build? Now wishing we went with dado tiling. Looking at it now there wouldn't be that much extra tiling to be done to have the whole bathrooms/ensuite tiled, but at the time didn't want to add to costs. Next time! duke oh... what time of day did you take the photo and what you have on the glass part of the main door? just wondered if there is enough light coming through. Those pics were taken at about 5pm, front doors face south. Also the glass is frosted (is yours?)- because we specifically didn't want the entire street to be able to look into the house westy Ooh, nice one! Thanks Westy. Looks like your place is ticking along nicely now too. Re: Lis’ Santorini – DAH - White Set, Cabinets & Lock Up! 134Nov 29, 2010 10:22 am Lis - not sure about the front doors - they might be on order but at the moment both the front doors and the entry from garage to Laundry are temp doors. Can't wait to see what they are going to do today - waiting to hear from our CLO re my tiling meeting.

Re: Lis’ Santorini – DAH - White Set, Cabinets & Lock Up! 136Nov 29, 2010 11:55 am I think it's called "desert sand" or "slumped" - I have the metallic glass inserts and the doors are like this one on Corinthian home page. I have a glass hilite above as well http://www.corinthian.com.au/Default.aspx http://www.corinthian.com.au/Product/Show_114.aspx Preliminary agreement 23/11 Contract 22/03 Prestart 06/04 - finalised on 30/04 Unconditional approval 10/05 Demolition 05/07 Slab 26/08 Brickwork 13/09-06/10 Roof frame started 07/10 viewtopic.php?f=31&t=32292 Re: Lis’ Santorini – DAH - White Set, Cabinets & Lock Up! 137Nov 29, 2010 2:51 pm My wife said next time if we build we would get the hilite and now the chance came she bauked and now not sure if she should have had now again. Sometimes history does repeat itself doesn't it. The only way to easily fix this is to change the door with more glass or install does light thing from roof via tube (name escapes me atm) but from what I heard... everyone who had that had they house wet from that hughe hail storm event. Re: Lis’ Santorini – DAH - White Set, Cabinets & Lock Up! 138Nov 29, 2010 3:03 pm you mean "skylight"... We might need a couple of skylights but I want to live in the house for a while and determine if we actually need them or not. From what I remember the hilite wasn't cheap but I was determined to have one as I didn't want to turn the lights on in the entry hall during the day...

Makes for interesting reading Re: Lis’ Santorini – DAH - White Set, Cabinets & Lock Up! 140Nov 29, 2010 6:46 pm I'm starting to thing sidelight might have been better unless there's someone that can customise the door to insert another vertical section so end up with 4 vertical section in total which should be enough light. Probably the four horizontal section might have been better for spread of light. Joe, it depends on your certifier but we are noticing the ones we deal with are really cracking down.
