Slab update 20/07 19Jul 07, 2008 8:38 am Well fingers crossed the rain stops in the next couple of days because my slab is booked in to be poured on Friday and I've waited too long for it not to happen. ![]() Another pain was the bricks we originally chose have been discontinued and I had to choose another one. Everyone knows how stressful that decision is. Well I chose Hamilton from PGH with off white flush mortar. I hope that will look ok. Is anyone else using Hamilton? Also I originally only had a choice between white or cream square tiles for the splashback in the kitchen but now I am allowed to choose what I like and I can't decide. The benchtops are black laminate (you know the type with the grey speckles through it), the cupboards are bamboo (light cream colour with the textured look). I have NO idea what to do as a splashback. I originally had the white tiles but I think they will stand out too much. What do you think of a basic stainless steel to pick up on the grey flecks in the benchtops? Or do I go dramatic with a red frosted glass. I really hate cleaning grout so I need something streamlined. Any suggestions?? Jet Re: I'm back and ready to build!
