Our inspection was before insulation - that is what frame stage is. We do not have A/C so not relevant for us. gogo65 T, looks gorgeous and will suit the frontage of the house. Just hope dumbwhat dumbwho, dont stuff it up, putting it on Hopefully A will be there making sure all goes well gogo - couldn't agree more! Annette and kiwi - too funny. You are probably right! Dream House 82 Great work, and nice job on that credit! I wish we had realised all the ways we could save through owner supplying! it's all a learning process. I don't think all builders would allow the owners to supply their own front door. DH and I are a bit anal about NOT using Merbau timber, which is how the front door all came about. Then we fluked it finding the North Coast Timbers guy in Toormina. Treeseachanger I have door envy. The one we have chosen (builders standard) is exactly the same pattern but will just be a painted version. Spotted gum is my favourite timber, it's sooo varied and beautiful. Going to look magic Thanks TC. Yeah, it is our favourite too. Hardwood, sustainable and Australian. Having the timber floors in spotted gum, as well as staircase trim and handrail. Have asked the timber floor company to give us an extra few pieces of the floor timber so we can use it for the foyer bench too. No idea how we will do that, but post handover job (can't even think handover at this stage..) Thanks guys.

Re: SunshineT's Build: found THE best bathroom wholesaler... 2627Jul 12, 2012 7:58 pm SunshineT Went back to site this morning, and like greenfish with her polished concrete, it is always the first viewing that is the most shocking after that it gets better. I can live with the doors the way they are now. Biggest annoyance is the communication with builder, but I am letting that go too. Yay! So glad things are looking better, it's a relief huh? Your door looks great! Well worth the trouble you went to in finding it, it's going to look fabulous up, and maybe you won't be unlocking it everyday, but you will still see it constantly when you come home, check the mail and so on.

Re: SunshineT's Build: front door pics, but not on yet 2633Jul 13, 2012 11:25 am Hi guys - here is a link to the door guy: http://www.nctimberdoors.com.au/ Lovely guy (forgotten his name, maybe Greg?), middle aged, very old school doesn't use technology. He asked us to send him our requirements (didn't even like using faxes I think and just had a landline) so we took the picture of the door from the website and our sketches / dimensions and actually sent it to him by snail mail. He then mailed us back with a sketch and quote. But he was fast, on time and exceptional workmanship.

At least we know if the house falls down the front door will survive! nah, despite all the frustration one thing I am confident in Zen is that they are building a good quality house.
