I am not a fan of wall lights I told electrician to make them roof lights and the extra we're credits for other lights etc we had 2 wall lights in our ensuite and it would have to be 4-5m long! We now have 2 downlight so hopefully they put out enough light, I also wanted a chandelier over my bath but wasn't allowed... Re: Our Hartley 361- build 129Oct 23, 2012 6:25 am Wasn't allowed?? Partner or electrician? I'm a little worried having it over water but im sure they will put it in right lol.. Well I hope so.. If all else fails that clipsal switch better kick in seems to be the going thing these wall lights!! Did u add any in the back hall? We have the playroom in the middle of the two bed rooms and there is really only one light down one end.. Meant to see the electrician about that as well in the up coming weeks. There still at frame stage, taking longer then I thought to complete, that's just me probably being a little impatient and it being a much bigger house then the last two we built is to be expected. Re: Our Hartley 361- build 130Oct 23, 2012 6:39 am How lovely does a pendant light over a bath look? I know from a blog I read that she wanted a pendant over her bath too but the electrician wouldn't do it either. But then I remember Dan and Dani on The Block had one over their bath. They must have different rules in America as every bathroom on Houzz seems to have a hanging light over a bath. Re: Our Hartley 361- build 131Oct 23, 2012 4:55 pm They do look nice and they always seem to have them in the brochures for lighting places.. If they can't put it over the bath I will be happy with it in the middle of the bathroom. Re: Our Hartley 361- build 132Oct 24, 2012 7:22 am Re- Pendant light over the bath. I think you guys might have saw it on our thread or my blog. I had bought a pendant for over our bath - the electrician would not install it as i does not follow Aust quidelines (or rules). Over a bath you can have a downlight or ceiling mounted light fixture only. Once I actually placed it over the space I wanted it installed I could see how dangerous it would have been with my 2 little monkeys in the bath. They do look stunning though.. Re: Our Hartley 361- build 133Oct 24, 2012 8:07 am So mad at the moment... SS called to tell me that the build is delayed cos some senseless fools have knocked off our custom made beams they are huge so has to be someone close....what neighbourhood have we gotten ourselves into.. If I wasn't a children's book author I'd loose the plot on here.. but need to remain composed and calm right now... They are putting sensor cameras up... GOOD!! Grrrr Re: Our Hartley 361- build 134Oct 24, 2012 9:08 am Unbelievable what some people stoop to. I was just reading another thread that they too nearly had some wood from their frames stolen too. Hope it doesn't delay you too much but I guess being custom you can't just go out and pick more up. Re: Our Hartley 361- build 135Oct 24, 2012 10:06 am Yeah I know! The SS said he has ordered some more, it's just so frustrating, I thought maybe the windows that were missing we're just because they may of not ordered them but they took them as well.. I don't want to have to rent any longer then we have to . Just can't believe how awful some people can be.. They probably think oh big builder no one will care, but they just don't realize that it effects everyone else as well..(more rent with delays) We are just a young honorest working family with little kids just trying to build a better life for our children..I've never stolen a thing in my life... Drives me nuts. Re: Our Hartley 361- build 136Oct 24, 2012 10:27 am THE RISE Re- Pendant light over the bath. I think you guys might have saw it on our thread or my blog.

They do look great, but I'd settle for it in the middle of the bathroom if he can't do it. Re: Our Hartley 361- build 137Oct 24, 2012 1:19 pm Oh now stealing like that just gets my back up.... who do they think they are to take the supplies needed to build your home! So they stole the beam and some of the windows? How long did your SS say you would be delayed by? Hey, your having the mocha bricks also arent you? I saw you posted on the other thread that yours are coming next week, our mocha bricks got delievered last week.. for what reason I am unsure as the timber for the frame isnt there.. but getting to the point they look soooo good! So happy with the choice seeing them again after so long. Super happy with them Anyways sorry to hear about the delays and hoping they can everything back again for you soon!! Re: Our Hartley 361- progress pics :) 138Oct 24, 2012 1:35 pm Hi jpc Yeah they stole two windows the wir one and the family room one and some roof beams which are rather huge so they are thinking someone local which upsets me even more.. Thats great that the bricks have came and you can see what they look like its hard to tell on that little sample. We picked the same mocha Did you take a pic? They said the house will be delayed until probably next week. Not as bad as I thought, just spoke to him again before. Actually one of the things I'm looking forward to seeing is the bricks. They do Things differently by the sounds of things I guess it's what they can order and get in first. Hopefully your frame Is not far away. Re: Our Hartley 361- build 139Oct 26, 2012 2:34 pm our dream home So mad at the moment...

If I wasn't a children's book author I'd loose the plot on here.. but need to remain composed and calm right now... They are putting sensor cameras up... GOOD!! Grrrr Thats crappy!! To think, we nearly bought the block next to yours We ended up buying elsewhere, have to wait for the site to be completed but gives us more time to get everything organised. AND we are also building a modified Harley 361 (very modified) Waiting on the preliminary drawings. Hope things start picking up for you!! Will be watching your build with interest. Re: Our Hartley 361- build 140Oct 27, 2012 6:43 am Police are on to it lots of drive bys, cameras going up and neighbours aware. There's lots of houses and DFH going up in the Geelong area, we have noticed.
Good luck scud with your build, the block next door would not fit the Hartley anyway, we struggled to get it on this one, we shrunk it a little to fit, we liked it but were not sure about the fence set up. Wrapped we found a nice flat block in the end, great position, lots of space, can't wait. Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 18077 of course there are legal avenues. You've already mentioned it. Sue them. I find it odd that lawyers wouldnt be willing to take on the case, given CCT evidence and… 1 23929 "Losers" "humanity" "off time" "your" "top notch" "love symbol" Sounds like ponzo is done using other people's toilets 36 24050 |
