Absolutely shocking beaviour. Hope all is good with you? Build Thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43846 Re: SunshineT's Build: woodwork delivered... 2531Jul 06, 2012 9:22 am Hi T, I think if you are having any doubts at all about a $950 pendant then yeah definetly look for something else because it should be something you really love and feel excited to be putting into your house. I love the tubridge lights but I am biased as I would like either one of those in white or a shell capize pendant for my entrance. Go the Tubridge T it would look so much nicer I think. Re: SunshineT's Build: woodwork delivered... 2532Jul 06, 2012 9:46 am I echo what everyone is saying. I think the lights are too similar to say one will date and one won't. How can you build a house that won't date anyway? It's impossible, styles and colours will always come and go, no matter how much you try to fight it. Get the light that you and DH like the most is my advice. Re: SunshineT's Build: woodwork delivered... 2533Jul 06, 2012 9:46 am Hey Nina, How are you? Yes , thank god we've finished building, & moved in at Easter. Still bits & pieces to be done, but over all it turned out quite nice, we're very excited about the house. What about you, how's it going with you? I see you & Sunshine T are progressing along? Re: SunshineT's Build: woodwork delivered... 2534Jul 06, 2012 10:37 am springtime - thanks for that note and your PMs. Welcome back. That is a really horrible story, and reflects how when things go wrong people do nasty things. Tash - that is excellent advice. I agree. I was so-so about the original pendant, which is why I didn't want to pay $950. But I feel much better paying $450 for a Trubridge. I would have liked something more organic looking (saw an awesome Mark Tucker one on another thread), but our house is contemporary so need to keep that in mind. Looking at more shops today and on the weekend. kiwi lighter wood...less dust to see. good thinking! less maintenance is my approach to many decisions ... greenfish - thanks. Problem is DH is not really fussed an I am HOPELESS at making decisions!

Really love it. Thank you!!! After you mentioned it in an earlier post I tried to find the thread but couldn't, so I appreciate you giving it to me here. Have sent the link to DH but these pics might just tip us over ...

It is 130kgs so will need a few strong guys / gals to move it. VERY excited about seeing the door go on... but also don't want it to get ruined by all the other tradies in the next stages... But I guess it has to go on at some stage (we were just trying to stall it as long as possible). So hold tight for the big reveal tomorrow! We haven't even seen it ourselves ....

(more house keeping comments from the chick who doesnt do housekeeping!) Re: SunshineT's Build: front door going on! 2539Jul 06, 2012 1:47 pm gogo65 T, besides our tilers no one has even opened the door, everyone accesses the house through the garage so I'm sure it will be fine. Anything else happening?? Let's hope they keep using the garage. We love our garage door, so we have put that up so that it doesn't get ruined. As for stuff happening - at work today so not sure, but the fit out carpenters were there this morning so more of that I assume. Can't wait to have a look tomorrow.... oh yeah, and the gas company called on Wed and sent a guy out to see what needed to be done (not from the builder, but the mains gas. They have to extend the mains to our site). That might be happening in the next week or so. kiwi - good idea, thanks.

( builder didn't tell me I had to apply myself for the gas to be connected ) . Fig Landscapes has produced an e-book and native plant index, available for purchase from their website.
