Haha, thanks.
Could not agree more about A&L. I actually asked today about the flyscreens. thank goodness they are going through Bulleen Screens for those...
Yer bit disappointed about yesterday.
I met SS…

Hi ronthevisio.
I am building the Matisse 33. We are at pci stage now

PCI was yesterday but was cancelled. It's now booked for Mach 2nd with possible handover the following week...

I know when the doors are in, it will fly.
I'm sure Carlisle are giving A&L much more of a hard time than I'm giving Carlisle.
PCI was pencilled in…

Some photos from december.

Some devastating news though, yesterday I was told my feature tile is no longer available
they recommended another one saying it's the same but different shape.…

Yer, have not posted much as not much has happened in the last 4 months. (blog is temporarily down until I get around to editing it)
What has happened is the…

Nice block

I have now started a blog also

They have agreed to organise an inspection.
The issue with diy is the internal walls. We have soundproofing to all internal walls.
If temperatures are the same on both sides…

That old chestnut.
I do agree with this to a point. They also have to protect themselves from customers doing any damage.
I'm sure it does happen. I know I feel like…

I sent a pm to Building Expert on this forum about my problem, definitely glad I did as he has over a decade of experience with thermal imaging.
In your case…

Will see what carlisle say tomorrow.
Im now prepared to sign whatever they want, but also think the evidence is there now for them to remove the plaster.

So did i, was very upset no sausage sizzle though.

Yer, we have an electrician coming tomorrow to do just that.
But if he finds nothing, i still will not be convinced.
I was wondering if there was some sort…

He has given me the option to remove the plaster from one side of every wall.
But if nothing found, i will have to pay.

Bricks are almost finished now, but site supervisor did rip a small piece of foil off to reveal the wrong batt in a cavity it did not fill.

Is there a non destructive way to test walls for insulation/soundproofing?
Short story, mine all blew out before plastering and i don't believe it was all reinstated.
Photos show what i…

Better if he said nothing, I never actually asked why they cost more than standard doors. It's an upgrade, upgrades come with a price. If you don't like the price,…

re alfresco pillarless doors.
I can confirm now this was false, no steel in the frame at all.
Was just more dribble from the salesman.

More positive pics

Bit of an update.
We have had a terrible time with the weather of late.
We got soundproofing to all internal walls, then just happened to have the windiest day…

thats on top of the $40k promo

it's a lot cheaper in the mornings, but by the end of the day their pencils are quite blunt...
