Re: First Home Build - Sekisui Sydney - Luzia 302May 25, 2016 8:57 pm shazaw It's a very good news you were able to have a free standing bath tub. Your house is coming along very nicely, when do they clean up the frontyard so we can see nice picture of your house. Thanks shazaw. Yep so happy, tho we got ripped off for having it last minute, oh well I know, can't take photo without those rubbish cage and skip bins! Re: First Home Build - Sekisui Sydney - Luzia 303May 25, 2016 9:02 pm Passed by on site today, can't believe I got there at 5:20 and it was already dark.
From what I can see, the eaves were finished. Electrical wirings were installed (can't tell to what extent tho), more aircon ducting installed and the frames for the pantry sliding door were installed. Hopefully I can beat the sun tomorrow so I can take proper photos! Re: First Home Build - Sekisui Sydney - Luzia 304May 29, 2016 1:36 pm Finally have taken decent photos showing completed aircon / electrical rough ins. Next week is bricks cleaning, so anxious to see them cleaned!

Very nice. On the last page when you said you didnt take a photo because it was too dark. I read it as you saying "I was too drunk". I thought "ha, Go girl!" . But alas I suspect you weren't drunk. Too bad hey. Lovely bath spout. Did I miss the bath pic? I need to go back and find it. Re: First Home Build - Sekisui Sydney - Luzia 307May 30, 2016 8:15 am cat_dunc Oooh. Very nice.

Yep, that's right. We are planning of drafting an as-built plans for all the elements of the house. That was planned since site started but haven't done even one bit!

Re: First Home Build - Sekisui Sydney - Luzia 312May 31, 2016 10:08 am The bricks were cleaned yesterday and they turned out really good!
Didn't have any photo as we can't find the camera. Then I just had a call from the SS saying the camera is with him given by the brickies who found it yesterday! Ooopsss....were busted coming in the house! Re: First Home Build - Sekisui Sydney - Luzia 313May 31, 2016 6:15 pm A glimpse of our much awaited cleaned bricks...

Re: First Home Build - Sekisui Sydney - Luzia 315Jun 02, 2016 2:42 pm In the past few days I've been a little bit worried when I received a sample of the carpet that we have chosen. All along I thought its a grey tone but was surprised that it was actually brown!
And the fact that we have already purchased sets of bed / heads / base for all the rooms in dark grey, makes me want to change the carpet. So I had a chance to ask the colour consultant today. She's been so nice and sent me a photo where she put together the carpet, the wall paint (taupe grey) and a swatch of dark grey. She said it will look great. Looking at the photo, I'm convinced! Phew! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: First Home Build - Sekisui Sydney - Luzia 316Jun 03, 2016 2:12 pm Had a really good chat with SS today.
He reckons; 1. After site tidy and remainder of front porch roof are tiled next week, the insulation and gyprock installation will commence. 2. Insulation installation 1 day 3. Gyprock 8 working days (can be done on 5 days) 4. After gyprock stairs will be delivered and installed 5. Waterproofing will commence - 1 day to complete. 6. Tilers will commence 7. Kitchens and cabinetry all ordered but supplier advised there is currently 1 wk delayed in manufacture 8. Then painters and other stuff. All up he said, PCI will be between 8-12 weeks from now. It means probably September - I'm stoked!
