Dammit why is no one standing up for me!?!? How about I tell you all that Dark watched Sex and the City 2 with me the other morning, also went on the tour with me in NYC!!!
Ok, I’m going to stick up for Dark here. He had no choice in the matter, I bet!
The door thing shites me to tears - my current flatmate and the last one both yank the doors, and slam so this would be the scenario
say 10pm at night
Bedroom door gets yanked open ( it is so loud it scares the living dailylights out of me).... bathroom door gets pushed shut rather loudly, couple of minutes later… bathroom door gets yanked open… bedroom door gets slammed shut…
I don’t understand why people can’t turn a door handle!
I tell you if this was the flat I personally own they wouldn’t be living with me!
Dark you better not do that to your new house!! and pretty rude to Blizz’s dad!!!
OMG oz I totally know what you mean!!! I am normally in bed before Dark so when he comes in he yanks open the door and wakes me up!!! It drives me insane!!!
Then if I have the window open during the night he doesn’t close the door using the handle, he just flings it behind him and it slams!!! GRRRRRRR I wonder if there is such a thing as soft close house doors!!!
We’re getting soft closes on the bathroom vanity and the toilet seats. Was too expensive for the kitchen at $125 PER DRAW/CUPBOARD!!!
Soft closes on the toilet seats!! Wow didn’t know that existed!
The kitchen annoys me too - i seem to live with door slammers!
And the girl before was a vego and was so tiny you would think you could blow on her and she would fall over but she was soooo noisy! Not sure where she got her strength!
Static drove me insane when we were younger and living at mums. When he walked down the hallway you would think a baby elephant was walking through the house!!!

$125? i dont know what you are buying (gold plated maybe?) but i have personally installed 4 diferent systems of soft closers before and the most expensive, german made ones were $35 each (so $70 per drawer)
They are expensive but oh so good, put them in my parents house, i try slam the drawers just to watch these bad boys work!

Hey! Are you calling me fat?!

Haha!
In my experience fat people don’t have the energy to stomp - they more like shuffle so not noisy at all!

I find that extra options on brand new builds are ridiculously expensive! you are better off getting the standard stuff and then redoing the kitchen after a couple of years. It also gives you a chance to work in the space and rebuild the way you want it.
I approve of this thread.

Yes I am bro, but oz has a point
I agree with Deano, you are getting ripped !!!!!
Think about how often you open vanity unit draws compared to kitchen. Spend the dollars in the kitchen.
If (and when) you want to sell, soft close in the kitchen will be noted and impress, bathroom will probably go unnoticed.
As for the toilet seat, put one in the kids dunny, lasted about two months before it shit itself (pun intended)
The toilet and bathroom vanities are as standard which is awesome
The kitchen was where we were quoted the $125.
I approve of this thread.
