Browse Forums Building A New House Simonds Prague in MELB- All Moved In ;) 61Jul 16, 2014 11:48 pm Lights are all switched on....!
Nothing really exciting happening...! Things are moving really slow now Weatherboards are still sitting in the garage OHHHH and we got invoiced for Fixing stage! I'm glad that it's the 2nd last invoice I have pay until handover but not glad about the repayments going up a notch.. Bank sent us a statement and I was like wowza ... that was a huge leap from lock up invoice Re: Simonds Prague in South East Melb.. Fixing stage! 62Jul 17, 2014 12:15 am On a happier note.... We went furniture shopping and purchased this Dining table by BETA from Harvey Norman. We purchased the 9 piece dining set instead of 7 piece pictured below. I'm aiming towards a modern warehouse type decor but with a bit of soft wood like antique furniture.. Haha I can't explain it in words but I can picture it in my head haha.. Hope everyone had a lovely week so far Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Simonds Prague in South East Melb.. Fixing stage! 63Jul 17, 2014 9:49 am Very nice! Yes, the final stages do seem to move quite slowly... It's quite tedious, especially as you are so keen to get across the finish line! It'll get there... you aren't far now!

We initially went for timber laminate and changed our minds last minute. There were alot of things I regret not adding but we had a small budget and this is our first home so we will make it as special as we can Re: Simonds Prague in South East Melb.. Fixing stage! 67Jul 21, 2014 4:20 am justheart MalSannie yes they are 600x600 Majestic Ivory Polished Porcelain Tiles awww thank you..!! I feel as though the house is small bcos most of my cousins are building 30-38sq houses! They'll have so much more to clean though Re: Simonds Prague in South East Melb.. 4weeks until PCI !! 68Jul 21, 2014 10:16 am MalSannie.. yeh ur so right. My first cousin is building a two story with Carlisle homes 40sq and went to see it yesterday its at lock up but the doors were open. And I must say it's huge n feel a tad bit jealous. I can't even compare his house to mine. Lol but we are happy with our small house

Re: Simonds Prague in South East Melb.. 4weeks until PCI !! 72Jul 21, 2014 10:48 am Thank deluxes I having one of those days where someone elses build is better than ours. And now that the build is going so slowly I feeling abit down. Just wanna get the hell out of this rental already. Re: Simonds Prague in South East Melb.. 4weeks until PCI !! 73Jul 21, 2014 10:56 am You do have those days... they suck. I cleaned our tiny house yesterday (the rental) and got so annoyed, there is just boxes and "stuff" everywhere, I cant wait to be out of it and be able to put things away and live normally. So a mini meltdown was had over here too! Wont be long... try and remember the happy exciting things Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=66299 Slab: 16/6/14 Frame: 4/7/14 Roof: 22/7/14 Lock Up: 20/8/14 Fixing: 26/8/14 PCI: 9/10/14 Handover: 20/10/14 Re: Simonds Prague in South East Melb.. 4weeks until PCI !! 74Jul 21, 2014 11:43 am Yes deluxes is right. We all have those moments when you think someone elses build is better than yours, so you just have to focus on yours justheart. Thanks for the paint colour. Re: Simonds Prague in South East Melb.. 4weeks until PCI !! 75Jul 21, 2014 3:45 pm Thank you everyone for making me feel better. I will focus on my build. We are first home owners and everything gets so overwhelming sometimes. Oh yeh and we stopped by the house this morning to see tradies there installing our kitchen sink, basins and bath!!! Yay for that Ive started sorting and culling alot of crap here in my rental and omg I have so much stuff I dont need. Its mostly my sons toys and baby things. Not long now Re: Simonds Prague in South East Melb.. 4weeks until PCI !! 76Jul 21, 2014 4:25 pm Glad I'm not the only one tripping over boxes in an awful rental. I'm also culling as we stored all of our boxes in the rental garage which badly flooded. I'm just avoiding going in there now. The tiles look fabulous. Ha it's annoying to be locked out! Re: Simonds Prague in South East Melb.. 4weeks until PCI !! 77Jul 21, 2014 10:38 pm Yay for kitchen sink, taps, basins and bath getting installed today

Re: Simonds Prague in South East Melb.. 4weeks until PCI !! 80Jul 25, 2014 9:04 am Looks fantastic!! So, so close now... I don't know about in Vic compared to SA, but here the builder sets up an electricity account in their name until handover, then you are responsible for connection when you take over. So we never paid a bill last time for the power used in construction, and we have been told we wont this time either. Just water, but there's minimal water used anyway Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=66299 Slab: 16/6/14 Frame: 4/7/14 Roof: 22/7/14 Lock Up: 20/8/14 Fixing: 26/8/14 PCI: 9/10/14 Handover: 20/10/14 Joe, it depends on your certifier but we are noticing the ones we deal with are really cracking down.
