Hi,
The original thread of this topic is very old. I'm not sure what the issues were back in 2008 but this is our experience.
After our (original) builder went…
TashPaul posted:Should the free standing cooker be higher than the bench top
Mine is also about the bench, it is actually the same model you have. It doesn't look odd at all.
TashPaul posted:Plants for 2-3m hedge?
An option would be pittosporum - probably the sunburst variety. They don't get too tall. However, without some maintenance (pruning at least once a year) they tend to…
TashPaul posted:Gutter colour
Have you used a visualiser? There is one on the Carlisle Homes site. Just pick one with a similar facade to yours and then change the colours to what…
TashPaul posted:Brick Issue with new house, rendering whole house, re-bricki
I would make them re-brick it. You wanted brick - you got it but there are significant issues. You don't like render - don't agree to it! …
TashPaul posted:Austral - Daniel Robertson Stratton bricks?
Sorry can't help you there but it looks like a nice brick. Do you know what colours you will pick to go with it (windows, doors, gutter/fascia etc)?
You could contact…
TashPaul posted:How long does each stage take?
Unfortunately your question can't really be answered. Every builder is different, their tradies are all different, it can depend on demand, suppliers etc (ie. when we were building brickies…
TashPaul posted:Are these defects "normal" ?
Are you building with a 'big' builder? Many of them use very young trades and I am not deliberately bad mouthing the younger guys, you can get it with the…
TashPaul posted:Monument or Surfmist window frame colour?
Hi, we used Monument windows etc also - really happy with them. You can see pics showing them from inside and outside on my blog. Cheers.
TashPaul posted:Garage and Window frame colour
I guess it depends if you want a darker looking house or a lighter looking house overall. Also, are you worried about the colour of the window frames from…
TashPaul posted:Garage and Window frame colour
What colour front door are you thinking? Or are you going stained timber?
TashPaul posted:Window awnings
Unfortunately I think you'll find that any external blind is going to be a bit pricey as they have to be weatherproof etc. If you are in Melbourne look…
TashPaul posted:Which direction to lay floating timber floors?
I would do it as you have it above - north south. Just my opinion!
TashPaul posted:Retaining Wall to boundary or offset?
We were in almost exactly the same situation as you - 2m fall across the block. Our block is 17 metres wide. We couldn't build to boundary due…
TashPaul posted:Flooring direction
I think a lot of homes these days are 'long' - going from front to back, rather than long 'side to side'. Given the trend, it might be…
TashPaul posted:Flooring direction
Our old 1970's house was a similar long design to yours. The floorboards ran lengthways which means that they were like the second pic above - I didn't think…
TashPaul posted:Do you have ducted heating outlet in your bathrooms?
We have it in the main bath but not the ensuite as I figured the duct in the bedroom should be enough. We also have a heat lamp - IXLTastic…

I'm not a huge fan of render either. I like tiles as a feature, especially ones with texture, or that stacked stone stuff. Sorry I can't be of…
TashPaul posted:If you had to pull of country/hamptons but needed to use bri
My thinking is that I'd probably go a light grey brick (if there is one as an option), with white trim and possibly a darker grey render or darker grey…

Looking really great!!
TashPaul posted:Too many windows?
It's really up to you and how you would use the room. The only concern I would have is that it limits wall space somewhat for other things. …
TashPaul posted:What colour is this Colorbond...?
It does look 'light' for Monument. It could just be the lighting though. Good luck
TashPaul posted:What colour is this Colorbond...?
I'm thinking Woodland Grey. It definitely looks grey, but seems to have a green tinge, which would mean Woodland Grey. Monument is another grey but darker. Basalt…

Hi Gilly,
I have just discovered your thread but am watching with interest as I am considering this floorplan if I manage to purchase a particular block of land I have…

No idea really, apart from (possibly) charging more simply due to the likelihood that they will have to build at the back of an established house? Are there better…

Have you looked at panel blinds? They are quite non-intrusive when open as they all slide back into one. Not sure if they would suit your space or…
TashPaul posted:has anyone used walpamur fence paint?
Hi,
I didn't use the Walpamur fence paint for our fences but I did use the Walpamur UV external paint which I had tinted colorbond Monument, to do our fences. …

What style are you after? ie slats, flat panel etc? I have a colourbond slat gate which I got through Smartslat. You can order and put it together…
