Lucky you realised before it was too late!

It’s probably not allowed in these days of safety consciousness, but we picked up a couple of major mistakes early on that were then rectified that might not have been later on. Seriously – do builders even read the plans? We had a certain space between two windows in our lounge, perfect for our entertainment unit – and they got that space wrong so it wouldn’t have fitted. Luckily we noticed early enough so it could be fixed! ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/10-tips-for-designing-your-family-home/#comment-17084 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 04:24:25 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=5086#comment-17084 Thanks so much for these fantastic tips! We are looking at building and these have given us some really insightful things to be aware of and keep in mind. GREAT JOB ]]>
