Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jun 30, 2010 2:10 pm Hi All, I thought I would start my own thread on this site! I have been somewhat of a “new build forum peeping tom” watching, learning and reading (but not saying much)…. We are building at Torville Heights Estate in Brisbane (Underwood). The house is the Pl@nt@tion Home’s Q2 Retre@t 18m! We have started our build blog check it out! http://jazzandbrett.blogspot.com/ Jazz and Brett 18m Q2 Retr3@t {Cremorne Facade} Pl@nt@t10n H0m3s {Underwood, QLD} The House that Jazz and Brett Built Blog http://jazzandbrett.blogspot.com/ Build Thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=35491 Re: The House That Jazz and Brett Built (Retreat in Brisbane 2Jun 30, 2010 4:00 pm ooow, Im getting that couch in black (similar to it anyway) I LOVE it ay... so cool. with red cushions and a red rasta rug. good luck with your build..I couldnt see your plan too well, it didnt go big when I clicked it, can you pop it on here? thanks Re: The House That Jazz and Brett Built (Retreat in Brisbane 3Jun 30, 2010 4:19 pm I like the retreat. I went and saw the sunshine coast version. It was very nice and it was styled so well. Re: The House That Jazz and Brett Built (Retreat in Brisbane 4Jun 30, 2010 4:31 pm Hi, I too am a first time user, long time lurker! I just found your new thread and it prompted me to join and follow your new blog (i hope you dont mind). My partner and I aren't far behind you and are next week signing our contracts to build with M3tr1c0n homes in Springfield Lakes. I love your blog and you have gone a lot further than me (http://ournewhomebuild.blogspot.com/) who has stalled! All the best for your build, we originally were going to build the Retreat but are now building the Santorini with M3tr1con and I hope we have made the right choice (seem to be slow at the moment). It will be nice to compare notes between these builders who i feel are in close competition with each other.

When will you be onsite? dreamermeg - Pl@nt@tion does to nice display homes - hoping ours will be as well styled at the end product. kiwi - not sure how to add pics on this site - can u offer any help? Will post the plans once I can figure it out...
