Ha, mtvbishop, I know what you mean re decisions! I was originally looking at Oliveri Sonetto but also read the bad reviews. So I have ended up going for Tech200 with removable drainer. Just received via Toll Transport today from Melbourne - yet to be installed but looks good! I also bought the drainer which has rubber feet underneath and is designed to either sit next to and slope into one of the double bowls or on top of one of the bowls. Viv from The Sink Warehouse, with apparently 40 years’ experience in the sink business told me the product is good. I searched EVERYWHERE for what I wanted and finally found it. Hope it’s a better sink that the Oliveri option. Even in these COVID times the goods arrived in less than a week from Dandenong to Adelaide.

I have a white double sink - one sink is mostly ok (just some scratch marks) but the one that is used most is yellow. I clean it with a Magic Eraser every week which helps - but it still has a yellow tinge no matter how hard I scrub. It's an old sink - but there are plenty of stainless steel sinks that are older and still look fine - so I wouldn't recommend white. Hope that helps :)

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.

Unfortunately Erina, your best bet sometimes in this industry is to cut your losses and if it important enough to rectify, outsource a separate contractor/company to come in and re-do it at your own expense.....you just have to look at it as part of the cost of your project.......many people will have stories of deciding pay twice (sometimes more!) to eventually achieve the satisfactory results - ultimately you have to live with it long term and sometimes it's worth it to get it right....ultimately only you can make that decision one way or the other........it's not necessarily right or fair, but unfortunately these are the risks (& hard lessons) of building Best of luck Erina, PD :)
