If we desperately wanted one, we could probably retrofit one to our kitchen in a few years time. We were actually moving our 5 boxes of leftover floor tiles last night and saying its a shame we didn't have leftover wall tiles, but again, said to Mr W2T, always something we could do in 5 years time to freshen up the place.

Was amazed how much it cost. Maybe see if you can get higher course windows too as they look nice. We didn't.. too many $$$. Oh and check that the ceilings in porticoes and all frescos are not just hardiflex ones, luckily our pre start girl pointed out the portico was down as hardiflex and suggested we pay extra for proper ceilings. Didn't cost much but makes a difference cosmetically.

Good point on the ceilings in alfresco and portico, put it straight on my ever expanding list Stilettos & Bricks -our Building Journey Blog https://stilettosbricks.com viewtopic.php?f=31&t=85183&hilit=secret+harbour Re: What upgrades, items or extras do you wish you had added 20Sep 14, 2016 9:52 pm Courses are the height of your brickwork, *most* windows are 25c as in 3 course between the top of the window and the ceiling. When you raise ceilings to 31c, often the Windows remain at 25c so there's a bigger gap. We raised our living room windows, stacker door and kitchen window to 28c and it looks awesome!
