Haha, I had the fastest grey float ! I still wonder if I had as many workers as I did wheelbarrows. Re: Our REDINK build - GREY FLOAT FINISHED!! 542Aug 21, 2014 12:31 am V exciting that your ceilings are there! The littlest things can get me excited and on the flip side I get v down when nothing happens, I feel mental. I so hear you about seeing the kitchen come together. I have googled the heck out of our formica colour and cannot find any pictures. Am so anxious to see it come together and am praying it looks as good in real life as it does in my head:) Re: Our REDINK build - WHITE SET STARTED ! 543Aug 21, 2014 10:13 pm Our white was started today, AND almost finished. There were about six or seven guys. The only rooms left to do are the entrance, master, ensuite and WIR. It looks amazing and weirdly smells really nice and fresh. I was there at about 2ish, didn't go in, but stood outside my laundry watching in admiration. I said to an older gentleman "wow, you make it look so easy to do " He snarled back "well it f*#~ing isn't" Oopsie, had his grumpy pants on, and obviously wasn't enjoying having an audience for all of 1 minute. Might not venture back til the weekend now. (I'm a wimp) My first not very friendly tradie.

Re: Our REDINK build - WHITE SET STARTED ! 550Aug 22, 2014 12:25 am triggywiggy Isn't it funny how homebuilders do the white set before the coving and some do it after? Do you think there is a wrong way and a right way? P.S GLAD YOURS IS GOING ON. Thank you I have noticed all sorts of different order of things with various builders in our estate. Some get windows before white set and ceilings, some have ceilings then white set. I don't know if there is a correct sequence, or just when the builders can get the trades. The white walls are lovely though, they give the house a whole different perspective, and they smell really nice. Re: Our REDINK build - WHITE SET STARTED ! 551Aug 22, 2014 12:29 am ardie514 That's awesome kelly, makes up for slow start to the week! Ugh what a grumpy bugger. Yes we want pics!!! Grumpy sod! Most trades ask if this is your house, and then say something pleasant or smile and say few more days and we'll be out of your way. Maybe he was having a crap day. I'm hoping our week will finish with ceilings on the weekend, and maybe lock up towards the end of next week.....about the time you will have a big shiny gorgeous slab of concrete Ardie.

Re: Our REDINK build - WHITE SET ALL FINISHED ! 559Aug 22, 2014 9:34 pm White set done and dusted! Looks so good. Bring on those ceilings. Re: Our REDINK build - WHITE SET ALL FINISHED ! 560Aug 22, 2014 9:57 pm Excellent news kelly! Your weekend is off to a wonderful start. thanks guys! yes this is how I've exactly raised it with the builder. still awaiting response. 12 6052 Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17601 Can anyone recommend a good/affordable retaining wall and fence builder that I can get a quote from located in Sydney? 8 45817 |
