So HE noticed?!! My DH wouldn't
Could you have a pair of smaller feature lights instead? Or would that just draw attention to it?
Browse Forums Building A New House Re: BUILDING update 369Jul 22, 2008 10:51 pm House-To-Be Just going back a step now Dy. What's an access point?? Man-hole? and did they fix up the plumbing for the dbl shower? Yes the access point is a man hole. We've given them the option of moving it or flush mounting it to the ceiling. The dble shower caused the SS some grief when he realized they'd forgotten the second mixer. Not sure what they will do but it is their problem . Double shower heads and mixers were selected and are in the variations. We've got one rainhead atm so we'll see what happens this week. They've promised to sort it out so that we are happy. Re: BUILDING update 370Jul 22, 2008 10:55 pm There's quite a few of you getting close now. You must be so excited to be so close.
Get the manhole moved! It would drive me absolutely nuts in that position. Jo I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: BUILDING update 371Jul 22, 2008 11:10 pm There is not a lot of room to place it as most of the house is two storey. Its only the family area at the back that is single storey. Wherever it goes it will be a pain, although over the dining table really was the height of ****** .
I can't be bothered arguing with them about it. If they flush it I'll be happy. Re: BUILDING update 373Jul 23, 2008 4:30 pm Paula Stupid builders I'll second that. I'm getting to the point where I weigh up what is good and what is not so good and if it balances in the right direction, I just go to work and forget about it. No point stressing at this stage of the build. I'll probably regret not being more pushy every time I look at that damn manhole. Re: BUILDING update 374Jul 23, 2008 8:28 pm Maybe you should push to have the man hole moved Dy? I've never seen one flush so I can't comment but it would annoy the hell out of me being over the dining room table. Is there not a corner somewhere that it can go? Happy at Home Re: BUILDING update 375Jul 24, 2008 2:09 pm Hi everyone,
I'm new to the site so hello to everyone. DeeElle thank you so much for taking the time to share your building experience. We have been trying to find a house for a while that suits us with no luck and are seriously considering building. To read all your comments and photos has been a great help. Cant wait to see the finished product now! Cheers! Re: BUILDING update 376Jul 24, 2008 9:44 pm PrincessB
Welcome to the forum and thank you for the lovely comments. Tonight I purchased some great items on ebay. As I have nothing else to absorb my thinking (apart from work which is boring ) I've decided to start purchasing items for the house. Bought some great Alessi ice cream spoons, fabric from Designer Guild for our bedhead, funky tissue bin for DD's bedroom, Nintendo DS game, Boontje light for DDs room, Villeroy and Boch cutlery set, hardwood desk for DDs room (which I will paint white), and the Noguchi coffee table. Sigh I feel great . Re: BUILDING update 377Jul 24, 2008 9:46 pm DeeElle PrincessB Welcome to the forum and thank you for the lovely comments. Tonight I purchased some great items on ebay.
