I keep 3 sets of (Winter) flannelette sheets and 3 sets of (Summer) cotton sheets- we only have one bed. We have enough towels to "sink a battle ship" (that's a direct quote from my Mum). One can never have too many towels; towels for the dogs, towels for the kitchen, hand towels, bath/body towels..... ;-))

"Too much" glass can also cause concerns for energy efficiency. We are trying to build on a rural property with great views and wanted to take it all in with big windows etc. We've had major problems getting the plans passed and had to reduce the size (or remove completely) some windows just to pass the Basix report before we could even submit plans to council.

Builders markups on upgrades can be large. Unfortunately it doesn’t matter a lot what we tell you if you’re locked into a building contract with your builder. You can’t get alternative quotes and you can’t supply your own. So it’s difficult. But for your own sanity check have a look at the benchtop pricing on diyaustralia.com. They have pricing for the different ranges of major benchtop suppliers on their site.
