How did your other half win the floor - not that Boral Slimwood comp? I was supposed to win that!!!!!!!!!! Hmmm... unfortunately when I said he 'won' I meant that he won the argument and got the floor that he wanted, and no, we didn't win the Boral comp (more is the pity!!). Our floor is a mixed eastern Victorian species marketed as Firestreak - the other half calls it feature but I still call it defect. The installer did a really good job, very neat edging & good mixing of boards. It was pretty much the cheapest overlay flooring we could find to get installed at the time that the builder had told us the house would be ready. If we had known that handover would be delayed by another 2 months we could have sourced Sydney Blue Gum for the same price. Some days I love the floor and others I don't ... but I did get to choose a fair bit of other stuff during the building negotiations. Re: All opinions welcome...photos of wood floors. 20Jul 11, 2008 4:40 pm I like the Red Ironbark. I just seem to like the darker timbers better. I also like the Sydney Blue Gum (even tho it's not on the list lol).
Mrs B, do you know what the prices are for the different timbers? many thanks. Tradie may sit at home but will need to get house plastered as well or will you sit it out? 6 10654 yeah i couldnt picture it issue either, but i could clearly picture what they were doing wrong haha 2 5591 3 5991 |
