Oh man we are cutting it fine bow Oh look you never know! Just keep on them and put a bit of pressure. If not at least you have the long weekend to pack and get things sorted. Re: Building Henley Manaco Q3 - NHP April 15th!! 563Apr 15, 2014 11:57 am Thanks guys!! I just paid for house insurance!!! Haha!! Over the phone it was going to be $1200 did it online and it was half the price!!! Apparently they get commission when done over the phone!!! Also organised out driveway, jes did a customs aggregate mix!!!! Haha! We went to Hanson head office and made it own custom colours and stones so our driveway will not be a standard colour Re: Building Henley Manaco Q3 - NHP April 15th!! 564Apr 15, 2014 12:32 pm stayxtrue Thanks guys!!

If you dont mind cant wait to see your pics what time have you got appointment at your home ? Re: Building Henley Manaco Q3 - NHP April 15th!! 565Apr 15, 2014 7:54 pm Appointment went really well! Everything was quite basic, like paint touch ups. However the bank is taking it's sweet time with the final payment cheque so we won't be moving in this weekend as planned, will most likely get the keys on Tuesday Re: Building Henley Manaco Q3 - NHP April 15th!! 566Apr 15, 2014 7:57 pm kedar_u stayxtrue Thanks guys!!

We went with Allianz as I find them well priced and competitive in the market The driveway we went through a guy who does the Carlisle display homes he is by far one of the cheapest for aggregate while using quality concrete. A lot of the premix ones are very basic. He uses Hanson and this means you can customize your choice of concrete!!! So we chose out own stones and our own colour of concrete it's going to be mixed with Let me know if you want his details! He has been the most honest and up front guy out there! And he also had the experience and quality as well Re: Building Henley Manaco Q3 - NHP April 15th!! 567Apr 15, 2014 8:12 pm Here's some photos for you all Master bedroom looking out onto the street Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Front door looking down the hall way Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The bathroom Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Back corner looking Onto the kitchen Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Alfresco door Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Kitchen sink with goose neck tap Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This is where our oven is going to go Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This is the main wall in our Ensuite, jes wanted a light switch next to her side of the bed lol Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This is our entrance to our Ensuite!

Have they done their valuation yet? Second Build, this time with Carlisle 2016, can't wait!

Our broker said it will take another 3 days, but he is going to try and push it through. But should be right to go Tuesday. Our appliances are being installed next Thursday so it's not all that bad, then our heating will be done after that. Henley set your house up with energy Australia. I definitely do not want to stay with them! Re: Building Henley Manaco Q3 - NHP April 15th!! 570Apr 15, 2014 8:52 pm Lol I had bad experience with energy aust just recently so would definitely not want to stay with them!

So looking at lumo! Heard a lot of great things Re: Building Henley Manaco Q3 - NHP April 15th!! 572Apr 15, 2014 10:31 pm Anything but origin they're the most useless bunch of people.

Hmmmmm definitely going to check it out tomorrow when I am not at work, I will call iselect and see what they come out with. I am going to be doing a lot more on call for work so that I can pay for solar panels!! While we don't have any kids may as well pay as much as we can to save as much as we can when they so come along!
