Well guess what? After much to-ing and fro-ing Caesarstone have come to the party!!
We are now the proud owners of an Ocean Foam CS bench top. It was the…

Can anyone point me in the right direction if there is, and if there's not, show me your front door!!

My front door is being installed today and I need to rush out and buy handles and locks.
I love this look with a long pull handle and the lock underneath…

I'm sure I've read here someone who has used auto paint for their splashback. How would you go about choosing a colour? I know I want a deep,…

Does anyone have any pictures they can post of sliding doors stained ones side and painted the other. Also the frame, and if you have two tracks (with fly screen…

Thanks for your replies everyone. I've emailed the photo to Caesarstone after speaking with our builder. The sales manager is following it up for me. I'll let you all…

here's the sample on our benchtop.
I've been given the batch number and told to contact caesarstone direct so will do that later today. But in the meantime? Would you…

Hi everyone,
It's been a while since I've been on here, and in that time, we've abandoned plans to demolish and rebuild, abandoned plans to extend up, out, or up again…

Given your kitchen will be black and white, I'd go with a mid grey tile. Something like this

You'll need to speak with your council as they all have different rules. We are not allowed to come any further forward than the average of the houses either…

I've sent you a pm with a contact

I like these colours - we have very similar in our current house. I think they'd go well with your other chosen things too. Although the lighter colour…

I agree with Kyton. I'd be going with either a white for the cupboards, or perhaps black or a mocha brown like the brown fleck in the granite. …

Hi everyone,
So we're discovering a few things about our block and the large volume builders that are completely blowing our budget. We're now looking at finding an independent, local-ish…

Hi Everyone,
We're trying to build the Stoneleigh with BB, but as yet haven't got answers from estimating on what the final costs will be for what we thought were fairly…

I quite like it. I think with a white on white kitchen, the tile will warm up the area a little. What colour is it? I'm taking…

Have a look at onlinecarpet.com.au - they have a great quoting tool.

For a move I wouldn't bother. We looked into using them for storage for 12 months, but unless you buy one outright, they're not much cheaper than some of…

We've asked Burbank but all 4 displays have the void and they don't have any photos or even diagrams to show us. You'd think that somewhere there'd be some…

I'd do the tower in Lustrous Elm - Love the pic you have posted.

Vtac, we had soils tests done last week, and I only know because I watched the guy do one hole out the back. He basically had a post hole…

That would completely p@#$ me off every single time I looked at, or even thought about it. Good luck getting it changed.

Thanks everyone, I've updated my original list with the things we hadn't thought of.
1sthome, do these levies apply if we're building in an established area? And I thought the…

Hi everyone,
We're very close to signing with Burbank to build the Stoneleigh, after we have demolished our current house. I've been making a list of all the 'extras' that…

Wow, what a mess! I have no advice, except that I'd be mentioning it to the builder as soon as possible. Good luck.

Sorry I can't help, but I'll be watching this thread with interest. I'm also not sure about a white benchtop but I'm not sure why.
A friend has a black…

Thnaks irkj, that's really helpful. For some reason I had a figure of $3k in my head, so it's nice to hear it might be less. Guess who's…

Great, thanks Chippy. Any idea how much we'd be looking at for installation per square metre? We're in Melbourne so I'm sure it will vary, but really trying…

This was mentioned to us very briefly by one of the sales consultants that we spoke to. We're in an existing area with overhead power lines and it was…

Thanks everyone, I'll continue to look into it. Greenbuild, will the moisture content of the slab still be an issue with old floorboards? Ours would be about 35…
