We went to two others, an architect another a draftsman, one couldnt even be bothered to return my call (friend worked for him and saw my message on his desk for 3 weeks) the other, couldnt care about his business as he was doing...

    Architect vs Designer

    Hi all, We are using an architect at the moment. The block of land warrants it as it is river frontage. Its a long story how we found our young architect but he is like gold. He works from home, has no business card and will only take on new clients who have been recommended to him. He has...

    Words of Wisdom

    That bwahahahahah term he liked to use, is often found on American gossip forums. I have seen it used on a 'vindictive' Dr Phil site, used by people who have nothing better to do than slander celebrities. He will be back no doubt because he has a big chip on his shoulder about something...

    Who wants me to leave ?

    I voted to stay. Contrast is always a good thing, it challenges you to consider other points of view.

    A Minutes Silence..

    Willair, I also acknowledge the importance of such an event. The impact of having a loved one considered to be missing in action, never knowing what happened to them is absolutely gut wrenching. Right now I still feel very emotional about this because when I was a child, every christmas my...

    Seen any good movies recently?

    I saw Blood Diamond a few months ago. Almost fainted during the first few moments of the film and I usually avoid hand chopping films altogether:eek: but it turned out to be one of the most thought provoking, nail biting, exciting film I have seen for quite a while. Based on true events...

    Which white??

    Tizzy, what hue does China white take on...our interior decorator uses this colour on big developments. It has a green tinge to my eyes but I am interested in the overall effect. Sea change, how did the Chalk USA come out like. It looks fabulous in magazines and is often used expensive...
