During our meeting I indicated the same finish as the external of the display home which of course I didnt know what type of cladding it was then. Then lo and behold when we got the first draft, all the elevation drawing didnt correctly show the cladding design. I asked them straightaway to show me the plans for the display home and my house should only differ in footprint size, 34MKI room allocations, roof, floor selection and brick colour. The rest should be the same as the display home as discussed initially. Poor admin, I had email trails to prove that the drawing details did not meet our requirements.

We need to organize this asap, so dusty! Can't open windows Re: Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.1 666Nov 21, 2016 9:35 am Building4my3tots Yay to grass! We need to organize this asap, so dusty! Can't open windows Thanks. Yes, very dusty indeed. Will be spending the summer holiday cleaning the house to rid of dust inside/outside. On another note, not too happy with the landscaping job and will definitely not recommend this guy. We're lucky we even got to this point. It took us this long to find a landscaper because we were too afraid to pick someone randomly. But, we're that type who'd go with someone's recommendation or related to people we know. So still no regrets, we had a budget and we stuck with it. We'll charge it to experience and pray that (according to him) "top shelf grass" (NOT! I'd be delusional to think it is!) he's laid will survive the extreme weather predicted this week and the coming weeks! Perhaps with extra TLC, it can grow and flourish. Our last project will be getting the fence and gates done and move on!!! Calvin echoed my sentiments, we will never build again! It's either smashing incredible success or crushing hopeless defeat. There is no middle ground! - Calvin and Hobbes Re: Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.1 669Nov 28, 2016 4:53 pm Hey Calvin. Place is looking great. Having just completed my own landscaping, I'm curious to know what turf you laid and how often are you watering now and for how many minutes at a time? Re: Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.1 670Nov 28, 2016 10:40 pm iverson_iii Hey Calvin. Place is looking great. Having just completed my own landscaping, I'm curious to know what turf you laid and how often are you watering now and for how many minutes at a time? I think its just cheap buffalo. The concreter/landscaper decided to go cheap on me. I set up a timer 30mins in the morning and 30mins arvo. Some of it are dying because he just plonked it on top of the old grass so even if i water, it doesnt have soil underneath. Calvin It's either smashing incredible success or crushing hopeless defeat.

Backyard Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Northside-frontyard Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Southside-frontyard Not doing as well as the others but reckon the grass will soon catch up. This is the area where the guy didnt even bother to scrape the topsoil and old grass and just laid the turf on top. To be honest, back then I didnt even think he'd turn up and lay the turf at all . Thank goodness he did but i never had a word with him and just let hubby deal with the !#^£€! guy!

There is no middle ground! - Calvin and Hobbes Dear Members I have to decide the Facade column size. My custom builder standard is 350mm with rendering, but i asked for 470mm plus stone or tiles and yet to get… 0 7490 traditional gable roof facade - Have you did the dark and light gray color combination in facade with gray stone in facade… 0 4203 Looking to tile the facade pillars rather than rendering. Builder is quoting 2500$ laying cost for upto 10msq. The 2 pillars come to be 16msq. So laying costs are 5000$… 0 7523 |
