Hi, I am glad you have had a good experience with cork. Friends of mine spilt water on it and it seemed to be very unforgiving with bubbles and warping never going away.

We went with Monument and I am delighted. I was worried about it making the house hotter, but not at all as we added some extra insulation while the roof was lifted. We look over our roof to Mt Dandenong and it really feels like we are floating above the rooftops now (previously had a lighter color). I have also noticed there is far less glare being darker. Pic below is not my best shots ... but you get the idea. Forgot to add we also have a flat cliplock roof and used a combination of Monument and Dune on the house.

Hi Calvin These are very common across the inner city areas of the Perth metro area. This is a 1920's 'Cottage' home. Plenty are being renovated because of the workmanship, especially the floors with native 'Western Australian' Jarrah floors virtually impossible to replicate in 2018 as old growth forrest logging has been banned and it's not a cheap piece of plank to get your hands on. Many whom purchased these homes actually covered these floors with vinyl and carpet during the 60's, 70's and 80's, but in the last 10 to 20 years many have realised their beauty and value ripped up the floor coverings, restored the original floors and these properties are in high demand as many have been bulldozed for more modern, larger homes. BEFORE AFTER Thanks Paul

I've been playing around with a pantry location. Originally, I was going to move the pantry into the laundry with some custom shelving and cut the laundry space in half. Now, Im thinking of cutting into the study area and building a wall there, and converting the new space into a long and narrow walk in pantry. Either that or build half a wall and put built in shelving in the study. Building the extra wall will reduce the need to cover in the door way that is currently in place and instead utilising it. Thoughts? p.s. this isnt too scale.
