Thanks guys. Kiwi that thing is frightful!! LOL

its me when I have a cold.
I know..not pretty!

Oh right, yeah now I recognise you.

it was the no clothes...I know.
I get so hot when I have number 11's, I have to strip off!!

What a classic!

All I know is I wish I looked that good when I'm not so well.

Geez - your house is enormous - it took ages to look at all those pictures - amazing

The house is 248m2 so not massive by any means! I think I just got a bit snap happy!! Sorry

C'mon you don't have to apologise - there can never be too many photos I think your house just has lots of nooks and crannies and great spaces!

It's ok I'm just super excited. Great to be able to share it with others who are interested too..

ours is 242sq mets, we are nearly twins, but you are a bit fatter..and was born later
but apart from that, twins!!

loving your sense of humour kiwi, so its an honor to be your twin.

Wow I thought ours started out quick, that is really fast.

Your bathtub looks great - I can tell you though what you think looks strange is what they have done on ours aswell. We wanted a box all the way around our bath but as I only said this after building started it was really hard to fit in. So my builder did the best he could and it's boxed on 3 sides and then cut into the wall a bit just like your plasterboard goes over your edges.

If you are unsure question the builder now, he might give you a good reason why it's like that, but if you don't like it at least it's not to late to change it.

I was mortified and thought it looked stupid but now that the tiles are complete you can't notice it, an interior designer or architect would pick up on it straight away but none of my family or friends would notice. Not to mention I got my boxed bath tub, I guess if I had gone a normal size bath it would have been alright too.

Can't wait to see more. I just added photos of ours now the painters have started!!

Thanks nitchfarms, I ended up asking a tradie about the bath and they said yep its normal and it will look fine when finished. So that's a relief. Great to hear the progress of your place too, I'm off to have a look now.

Ok so I have a few things happening, I was relieved to see the bricks turn up today as the inside is ready for painting yet we weren't at lock up.

So yep, we've got our PGH Rice bricks on the block ready for the bricklayer. The color is pretty good but not exactly as the sample but homeone had me prepared for that scenario. I feel lucky that the bricks are still suitable and I'm thinking I might even like them more than the original 'rice' brick I chose.

Secondly yesterday we discovered the roller panel door for the garage had been installed. I chose Woodland Grey, Hampton Style and I'm thrilled with the result. It looks fantastic.

Thirdly, last week the cornices were completed so its really taking shape inside now.

The kitchen company has been in to measure up so I'm sure in about 3 weeks we'll be seeing some cabinets go in, woohoo.

The photos were taken late during sunset so the color isn't exact. I'm so happy with my choices though.

Thanks Kiwi, I'm sure this is the most boring thread here on homeone but you keep coming back! Thankyou..
