At this rate, we'll have hit the next millenium....I'll be ashes in the wind before we move in. I hope the stone's going in this week! I for one am excited to see a photo of it, especially with your silkwort cabinets, which is a colour I'm considering too My build blog here Re: New Building Seaford Meadows SA 434Sep 11, 2017 6:16 pm I think I did the silkwort in half strength? Hang on I'll look - nope, it's full strength - lighter than it seemed in the colour chip. Which is good, because I wanted fairly light. I Ummed and Aahed and then just said, what the heck, I think. I checked the dulux colour encyclopaedia to get the RGB values of the greys - I tried to get ones that were almost equal and therefore neutral, and not likely to throw strange colours in different lights. Haven't heard yet, about the installation... Landscaping has been estimated at the budget we planned for and so has the outdoor kitchen. 'Well done hubby' at guesstimations when we were budgeting! The outdoor kitchen people are great - custom poured concrete tops, AND concrete cabinetry, INCLUDING doors! Dunno how they do that, but I like it! They're thin, so I'd have thought that carbon fibre re-inforcement additive stuff? I'll go see when they're doing it, they're in Seaford Meadows - how awesome did that turn out! Location, location, location! I know that fibre stuff is used for small concrete castings... interesting. Swan coatings haven't answered me about why they think the polyurea floor will be no good. Either they don't know, think I'm a crank, or don't need any money. Or all three. I just asked for information as to why, so I could make an informed decision. They weren't impressed, apparently. Oh well, no job for them. They could have convinced me to have another coating, but didn't bother... I always think it's fishy when they don't want to tell you why... I wanted to go with them too, as they are a south Aussie family owned outfit. Re: New Building Seaford Meadows SA 435Sep 12, 2017 10:55 am Stone goes in today! Huzzah! ***** “Ti-ra-la-la-i-tu! I gloat! Hear me!” ***** A million credits to anyone who knows that reference... name the author! If you can name the book, double points! Pictures of the stone if I can snavel any today... Re: New Building Seaford Meadows SA 437Sep 13, 2017 7:50 am Hah! I say, Hah! After months of delay, they came earlier than the SS said, and I missed it! I got a couple of misty pics through the windows... bugger! I'll wait until my tiler goes down there and get some better pics... sheesh! It's hard to tell, because the plastic cover is reflecting, but it's nice and light... picking up the grey and white nicely from what I could see. It also ties in nicely with the blackened bronze handles. I'm happy because you always see silver handles with the grey white scheme, and I wanted to tie it in with my Indian brasses, so it worked well. I'm wanting to see it closer, because I asked for a 5mm radius on the top edges, but it looks smaller from a distance. Not gonna change it now! I realy like it, though - hope they've done it all correctly... I'd hate for the one and only swirly stone that I can stand to be cut wrong after all this! Itching to use that lovely clear island! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ on a lighter note, this is the style of concrete we want to go for on the outdoor kitchen counters below... We are getting a nice curved top, and one of the doors will be curved to match it... so the whole thing will be concrete, including splashback, and the SB and the doors will be the opposite to the counter colour - white concrete with the grey cells through it. I went and looked at their factory yesterday - awesome! They have a lot of really nice stuff happening there, some beautiful concrete tops in the works. They like to do custom, and unusual things, so we were rapt with that.

Pulled about a billion lemons (an entire crateful) off the lemon tree they are huge from all the rain! And there's a tonne of new ones forming. Lemon butter, lemon cake, Moroccan preserved lemons, lemon/lime marmalade, apple lemon pie -waaahhhh! I want my island! waaaaaaaaah! Re: New Building Seaford Meadows SA 439Sep 13, 2017 6:34 pm Ohhh even though the pic is misty, it's still looking fab! I miss the mature lemon tree at our last place, I'm a sucker for all things citrus, especially lemon curd Re: New Building Seaford Meadows SA 440Sep 13, 2017 9:49 pm Hahaha... Marshall, you have just volunteered to recieve a bag of lemons! Check your doorstep tomorrow... There's so much on the tree. Also Building nanna... check your doorstep, too! Reminds me of when I used to chase people down the street with bags of chokos. I may just rock up to the new house tomorrow and start chopping lemons on that island. I was doing that today - no cusséd room! Had a nice apple/lemon pie at the end of it, though. I'm gonna try and move the trees - I wasn't going to, but I don't think the tenants will be too interested in pruning properly so as not to damage the fence etc. If they drop dead, well, they do... however citrus are more amenable to a change of scenery than most fruit trees, so we'll give it the old college try.
