Any regrets? The more I think about it the more trivial it seems! Haven't built yet but hopefully not! I would have liked them but they weren't a must have and just didn't seem worth the money to me. Building Monte Carlo 40- Wisdom homes Re: Our First Home - Local Builder 32Apr 15, 2017 5:14 pm For interest's sake, our cabineteer (not a real word...) quoted approximately ~150 per drawer, ~ 200 per cupboards.. not sure why, but there you go! Incidentally, we visited one of our friend's house today for Easter and noticed that they only had soft close for a few of their drawers... so you're not alone in partially 'upgrading' your drawers and cupboards!

We broke down the cost with our builder. It's $90 for each drawer, the initial quote was putting soft close on all doors and cupboards. That's great to know we aren't weirdos for doing a partial upgrade! Ha ha Charlibear I've been watching your build for so long! I feel a bit star stuck that you are following mine!

Looking forward to seeing your build Oh wow really? That's kinda cool, our Metricon kitchen was simple but pretty. The first pic you have with the black over heads was what I was going to use in our new build if I had over heads, I love the traditional black and white with the shine from the mirrored splash back. The second one is beautiful too and what I considered for my bathrooms. (Ok I'm kidding myself, I haven't locked in my colours yet so it's more than a likely going to change ) Can't wait to see what you settle on. OMG addictive is an understatement, I've had the bug to build again the second we got our first set of keys . The home one community is generally a great place to share and learn, I'm sure Charli would agree it's such a privilege to be able to share our journeys and make some pals along the way. Charli has to be one of the most supportive and kind hearted souls on the threads Re: Our First Home - Local Builder 40Apr 27, 2017 8:19 pm We are so close to finalising our quote, just made a few last minute changes if we don't decide soon though we won't be starting in June. So...the only debate my partner and I have had is over the kitchen bench tops and sink. I have pushed for stone the whole way, he for laminate. We are having stone but he doesn't think the undermount sink is worth the upgrade. Did anyone put a standard sink in the stone? Does it look ok? We already paid for somfy motors for the blinds. The quote above was purely for “pre-wiring” so the blinds company can install the motors and blinds. That’s why we… 5 16097 "Losers" "humanity" "off time" "your" "top notch" "love symbol" Sounds like ponzo is done using other people's toilets 36 23834 So it looks like we finally have some movement on site!
