Definitely following along! Loving all the GJ builds I love all of your selections!! GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 viewtopic.php?t=83643 Re: Sunandstars Build - GJ Gardner Hervey Bay - Beachlands 2 12Aug 03, 2016 11:15 am Wow they are working fast. Don't worry about it looking small. I thought the same thing with mine but as it goes up and I see room sizes I start to get a better feel for the house. Love your colours - we are doing the whole contrast thing also but with white and dark greys/blacks instead of the cream. ~Shellby~ GJ Bridgewater 203 11/3/2016 - Site Work Started 29/9/2016 - Handover 142 Work Days 6 Work Days Over https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80174 Re: Sunandstars Build - GJ Gardner Hervey Bay - Beachlands 2 13Aug 03, 2016 1:23 pm charlibear Hey Emma, I am too going to be building with GJ Gardner, I am building with the Grafton office down in Northern NSW That's so great they started your build without official approval from the bank!!

I hope you get your finance sorted quickly, its such a long wait isn't it! I'm so happy that the build has started, was a bit stressed when it was all going ahead and still had no finance! Was freaking out about the 'What Ifs!" But glad it worked out in the end! My council application only took 2 weeks, so hopefully yours comes through that quickly so you can start!

My gosh, its so awesome to hear from the people I have been following along with the builds! I love this forum! I'm so lucky to have supportive parents who have built before, because they're helping me to calm my farm! "What's this? Why did they do that? There's not enough slab for 4 bedrooms!!!" haha! I was totally changing my mind over the black garage door, I thought it would be too harsh. But I didn't really know what to change it to and if I changed it now, it would hold up the build so just have to go with it. I hope I made the right choice! I still have to decide on a cladding colour! I have no idea! I've done a couple of mockups on Photoshop I'll have to share later! Re: Sunandstars Build - GJ Gardner Hervey Bay - Beachlands 2 15Aug 04, 2016 6:40 am I know this finance ordeal has totally wrecked me haha, mainly because our broker was away now he's back, is leaving again soon and trying to get our application through by next Friday I wonder if I can tempt my builder into going to council while we are waiting for approval I noticed a DA that took 2 weeks to the day so I have me hopes up haha probably not a good thing on this journey. How long have you been on H1 for just following along? Coulda joined in on my thread the more the merrier I say. Don't forget to share your mock ups GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 viewtopic.php?t=83643 Re: Sunandstars Build - GJ Gardner Hervey Bay - Beachlands 2 16Aug 04, 2016 7:37 am charlibear I know this finance ordeal has totally wrecked me haha, mainly because our broker was away now he's back, is leaving again soon and trying to get our application through by next Friday I wonder if I can tempt my builder into going to council while we are waiting for approval I noticed a DA that took 2 weeks to the day so I have me hopes up haha probably not a good thing on this journey.

Don't forget to share your mock ups GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 viewtopic.php?t=83643 You can only try!! I mean, my GJ started building the damn house without finance approval, so I don't see why not haha! Apparently I've been a member since January I guess I kept quiet because, I've had so many disappointments on this journey, I didn't want to get invested and get my hopes up! But now that the slab in almost down, you wont be able to shut me up haha!! So here is what I did in photoshop. Obviously colours arnt 100% accurate, but I wanted to give myself an idea. I showed my CC and she liked them, but she said she will see what other paint colours I can have. I originally chose Paperbark as my cladding colours but then I realised where abouts they were going on the house, I thought it would be too boring and blend in too much with the brick colour. I like contrast, can you tell? I like the brown to sort of match the front door, but I don't know the how deep the stain will be, so don't know if it will look alright.

We have a partial slab and for what was planned to go on there we (well more so my other half) was starting to have apanic, but as soon as the framing goes up and the wall wrap it makes a huge difference, just wait and see 😊. I like the terrain colour but I may be biased as im trying to do a similar thing by woodstaining some axon cladding to pick out the colours of my deck and front door. Re: Sunandstars Build - GJ Gardner Hervey Bay - Beachlands 2 18Aug 04, 2016 4:39 pm Yea! I really, really like the brown. Hoping that the Solid brown cladding and the wood don't look funny together. Just got my Electrical variation back. $3k Re: Sunandstars Build - GJ Gardner Hervey Bay - Beachlands 2 19Aug 04, 2016 4:40 pm I like the terrain also Holy wow, what did you upgrade to?

It seems expensive but I don't know much about electrical stuff! May I ask why you chose not to use GJ Gardiner? I'm actually meeting with one of the sales guys tomorrow for an appointment.
