Re: Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.1 642Nov 03, 2016 8:26 pm Looking great abe! Looks like we are neck and neck with the final stages of the home. I'm so glad your finally getting there after many months. The concrete work looks very clean. I'm looking forward to seeing your turf and yard come together too! What turf did you go with? I'm really happy with the palmetto buffalo. Love the deep green it has... Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.15 643Nov 03, 2016 8:37 pm SteveMc Looking great abe!

More like a year! We're less than 2 weeks shy of our 1st yr anniversary of moving in. There's still the front fence we will DIY once the posts are fixed in the hob. Then the autogate, then the plants(order of priority for now) and then the hideous fence I'm dying to get replaced as it just an eye sore if only i have an endless supply of money then i wouldnt stress at all! PS I think Paul went with empire zoysia Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.15 645Nov 07, 2016 7:49 am Got the electrician at the house today to check up the security alarm system as it has been activated while on disarmed mode 3x while were home without going anywhere near the panel or our remotes. Easiest for them was to replace the whole system (keypad panel + main board+remotes). Hopefully we wont be having this drama with the home security alarm.

We met with a guy on the weekend who seemed good but I don't really know how to tell. The ballpark numbers he threw our way were what we were hoping for so that's a good start. Re: Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.1 647Nov 07, 2016 11:05 am Probably another 2 weeks till we get to turf laying.

Especially this angle. I don't think you've ever posted the rear view of the house. Very nice!!

Re: Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.1 658Nov 14, 2016 9:53 pm joamoa Wish we had gone for that cladding on the back. We went with the easylap and it looks not so good. That's one of the first things we saw different from the plan when we were first given to check. It's also one of the first battles i fought them and won.

We have brick at the back of the house, there was some extra bricking they gave at no cost but thought the rest of the cladding was the same as the display ? Oh dear Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.15 660Nov 15, 2016 6:39 am Hi Kat, its a stria cladding and your plan should indicate stria. 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 because 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.
Hobbes Dear Members I have to decide the Facade column size.

Builder is quoting 2500$ laying cost for upto 10msq. The 2 pillars come to be 16msq. So laying costs are 5000$… 0 7773 |
