His eyes are so cute in that photo. Sorry if I missed this earlier, but can I ask what you have used in your kitchen for the cupboards, colours etc Re: Biff's Reno - Updated Pics 116May 31, 2011 2:56 pm free will Great reno The demo pictures were posted mid Sep and you were in mid -Dec. Did it only take 3 months or were the demo photos delay posted? We are are just finalising architect plans on our place - have not been given an approx build time, but I was assuming 6 months rather than 3 months (we are knocking off the extension and putting 2 stories on the back). The demo pics were delayed. The project took 6 months in total. Renovation Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=38489 Re: Biff's Reno - Updated Pics 117May 31, 2011 3:05 pm Thanks suh! Chook07 - the kitchen cupboards are two pack paint with a satin finish (not sure of the colour as my schedule has a TBC on it) with Smart Stone in super white. The kitchen island is two pack paint with a gloss finish using Taubmans Billy Goat.

Re: Biff's Reno - Updated Pics 119Jun 11, 2011 3:22 pm Biff I have my draft plans but now need to start specifying details for the quote. Am interested in how you went about specifying the joinery for the bathroom/laundry/kitchen? Did you specify specific units from specific suppliers or custom joinery? If the latter how do you ensure you get the right design/quality/specifications? Cheers Free will Re: Biff's Reno - Updated Pics 120Jun 12, 2011 10:01 am Starz - no magazines yet Free Will - All our joinery is custom. If you are talking about the actual type of unit (i.e what goes where) then that was all pretty much determined by our architects. They presented an initial design and I went through it with them and 'approved' a the pot drawers, pantry etc. We also discussed finishes and our house has a combination of 2pack, veneer and stone. In regards to getting the right design and specifications that was pretty easy (and what I payed the architects for) but the quality aspect is a tough one. We were going to use a VERY good joiner initially but he was just too expensive. Having seen his work a few times is was amazing but I couldn't justify the cost so we went with another joiner both my builder and architect had used before (Werribee Joinery) and the quality is excellent, especially the finish of the 2pack - flawless.
