Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis 1270Mar 29, 2012 3:45 pm We have the same full mirrors up to the ceilings - unfortunatelly these photos are from before the handover In the main bathroom we have the full mirror as well. The water splatter is more visible but very easy to clean with an Enjo glass cloth... I was reading earlier on an older thread that some people use the methylated spirits to clean the glass/mirrors - I want to give it a go and see how well it works. Did any of you tried it?

Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis 1272Mar 29, 2012 4:16 pm Hehe, thanks girls.. We liked the mirrors to the ceiling as it made the room feel bigger We use windex and paper towel.. Its the paper towel that does the trick, no matter what window/glass product.. Building in Adelaide, SA Slab poured 08/09/2011 Handover 18/01/2012!

Well done. Now, just drive down the street and complete one here for me The pergola looks great & makes such a warming cozy difference! Mclaren I recently completed a mini makeover in one of the spare rooms as it was looking very boring in pink and white. Thanks to inspiration from H1 I thought that black and white would look good.

Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis 1277Apr 06, 2012 10:01 pm Hi McLaren We are just completing selections and wanted to check with you about your mortar colour - it looks like you used caffe latte bricks (which we are going to use). Did you choose standard brickies mortar, or go with brighton lite yellow or white sand? We really like the overall look of your bricks. Cheers, Orchid ORCHID Final selections meeting: 20 April 2012 Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis 1278Apr 07, 2012 9:19 am Orchid Hi McLaren We are just completing selections and wanted to check with you about your mortar colour - it looks like you used caffe latte bricks (which we are going to use). Did you choose standard brickies mortar, or go with brighton lite yellow or white sand? We really like the overall look of your bricks. Cheers, Orchid Hi Orchid, just checked the schedule and it's Brightonlite with standard yellow sand .. We like it ... Fire away with any more questions - happy to help you through what can be a minefield!

Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis 1279Apr 07, 2012 4:47 pm Thanks for the info Annette. When we went to PGH for selections, we couldn't work out if to go for Brightonlite with yellow sand or not. We will now - thanks ORCHID Final selections meeting: 20 April 2012 Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis 1280Apr 09, 2012 5:07 pm wildorchid yep, i use papertowel too. i dont actually get more watersplash than normal, all of my mirror marks are above where the tile would have been anyway??? so it doesnt make a difference for me to clean. our ensuite has a bulkhead, so the mirror sits under that. the main bathroom doesnt go all the way to the ceiling, it doesnt look odd, but it may have looked nice with a bulk head too in there I use the viva wipes. I think you get ten sets. The blue, you wet and wipe over and then the white you leave dry and it comes up perfect. I use it for our mirrors, in the shower and the glass splashback in the kitchen They are GREAT!!! go upvc window frames ensure insulation under colorbond. not just sarking, lighter color roof also not sure if you have seen this viewtopic.php?t=5823 last couple of pages… 4 110907 Even if it's not being sub-divided and you want to keep it as Torrens title, you will still need to talk to a town planner or Council themselves, to see if they will allow… 1 11163 |
