We're hoping to build the Sierra in a few months, we're in Victoria though. Our finance has been approved, just waiting for our land to title and settle now which should happen in September.....we'll have been waiting 18 months by then! Did you pick the Cathedral ceiling? I love seeing photos too, just as I think most people do on this forum. All the best! Yea that Cathedral ceiling is to good not to have, as soon as we walked in we new we wanted that. WOW 18 months, we have been going for about 3 months. I will have plenty of pics for you soon Thanks everyone for the feedback.

The colours remind me of toffee/caramel and chocolate Re: Building the Simonds Sierra in SA 12Jul 24, 2013 3:17 pm What are your kitchen colours (cupboards and bench tops), they look a bit similar to ours. Re: Building the Simonds Sierra in SA 13Jul 24, 2013 3:46 pm mjmelb What are your kitchen colours (cupboards and bench tops), they look a bit similar to ours. We went with white cupboards (shadow chrome handles) and matching white bench tops but with a grain effect. We went with similar colours to the display house as it was exactly what we wanted, but just used a single latte colour splash back instead of the 2 tone they have.

They didn't like our front window, saying it was to big and square, they wanted us to have 3 smaller rectangle front windows Haydn at Simonds got right on it and drew up a plan to show how ugly it would look the way they wanted it, then drew one up how we wanted it changing our square window to a more "rectangle" one, their reply was "we wont budge". He then told us to leave it with him and he will work something out. After a week our window the way we want it was approved This is the ugly split windows they wanted us to change to.
