We just pay them the extra bit separately.<br /><br />If you were not allowed to deal with the tiler/tile supplier, may be try to get the tiler's detail and get him to return later to finish the job. <br /><br />Regardless, don't forget to order the tiles all in one batch, as they might later run out of stock or might come in different colour due to different batch.<br /><br />Or try to get a few quote from other suppliers, may be you can find a cheaper source, may be in th end the price were pretty much the same, they are indeed quite expensive!BuildingOurFirstHousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01229264011840283125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256606796280425206.post-68978790444793921882010-03-22T20:44:10.508+11:002010-03-22T20:44:10.508+11:00Allan

Did you upgrade all your internal and external water service pipes to copper? I am told this will prevent leaking. Is this right?<br />Many thanks<br />inclusAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256606796280425206.post-10543430615805073332007-06-20T20:42:00.000+10:002007-06-20T20:42:00.000+10:00May be you are right!Thanks for the information, w...May be you are right!<BR/>Thanks for the information, will check with builder at our next meeting.Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18299424813908634404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256606796280425206.post-16665188968391595462007-06-18T17:23:00.000+10:002007-06-18T17:23:00.000+10:00I would have it at a guess that the space is delib...I would have it at a guess that the space is deliberate to allow air circulation around the oven.<BR/><BR/>timboPerth_Eurohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07860871800594151472noreply@blogger.com
