The shower head is so low (or your SS was a very tall guy?), I couldn't believe the person who installed it could just put it on! they really just did their job..... Your tiles look so similar to mine, my little advise is seal the grout after handover! before being used, expecially the showers! I just did mine, certainly worth the time spent now the grout is waterproof, look much cleaner and easier to keep it clean:) From your photos I can tell we have different garage openers, but that doesn't matter, I'm sure you will get 3 remote set too! kind of standard now Re: Burbank Custom DS- Wardrobes, ShowerScreen & Carpet !! 255Jul 17, 2014 9:44 pm Well its always nice to get a bonus! I'll be going to check the code on mine now. The bathrooms look great! What colour is your carpet? Our gas was trenched weeks ago. its funny how they do things in different order. The last few steps take the longest. I have my figures crossed for you that SS call in the next day or two for PCI!

Bonus with the shower head being changed over, especially as it was the one you actually wanted Thanks HomeAngels.. I am also so happy they willing to change it over without cost.. Was worried for a second about them when we first noticed. But thought they wouldnt do anything if I raised it as it was what we chose.. all good now dsbuild Well its always nice to get a bonus!

Thanks Dsbuild , I reckon he call me in 2-3 weeks My Carpet is from standard range - Chocolate.. but it doesnt look anywhere like it right?? Been told colour changes depending on lighting, wall and furniture colours.

We were thinking we seal both floor and wall before we use. Thinking we need to buy a big drum on sealer.. any one has tip where i can get them cheap? Also if you see in the pix the wall tiles are only 200mm and the shower head is lower than that (approx 1600m ) is that low????

Also if you see in the pix the wall tiles are only 200mm and the shower head is lower than that (approx 1600m ) is that low???? But good size for my 7 & 11 year old +1 for sealing all your grout. We have a huge amount of tiling and I couldn't have thought of a worse job than doing it all myself.. so we got someone in to do it. It is fantastic and guaranteed for 10 years. 9 months in and it still looks like it's just been tiled. Well apart from our ensuite shower base but that's a whole other story... >:-( As for your shower head - have a look on your bathroom internal elevations. The height should have been noted on there. I suspect your plumber has set it too low. Being tall, low shower heads really irritate me and I made sure that the plumber had set them as per the elevations. I wasn't going to spend my entire time living here having to stoop under the shower head like I do in many hotel showers!! Completed a knock down and rebuild in northern Melbourne. Handover completed 27/09/2013 and now moved in. Re: Burbank Custom DS- Wardrobes, ShowerScreen & Carpet !! 258Jul 17, 2014 10:55 pm I bought it from bunnings, bondall tile and grout sealer, I only have tiles in wet areas so it was not a easy job for DIY, tiles are glazed so just make sure the sealer covers all grout and.... anyway, follow the direction. u have much more tiled floor, not sure if u want to do it yourself.. or room by room?
