I would check your contracts like Bank said Ours said we had to pay a deposit up front as well. Hope your bunny is feeling better too! Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Quotes Finally! 810Mar 15, 2017 7:01 pm Haha! I can't believe they haven't invoiced you yet Bank. I will have to dig up my contract and have a look, this is my first variation throughout the whole build (pretty proud of myself for not making a million changes!)

I would check your contracts like Bank said Ours said we had to pay a deposit up front as well. Hope your bunny is feeling better too! Thanks Wickie I love love my house design.. its not my dream house, but for the size of my land and the price, I'm very pleased by the floorplan. The good design and the price are the only reasons I'm glad I went with my builder. My bunny is looking okay, just hoping he stay that way. Its so hard to tell in the early stages of myxo.. and he's always been a bit snuffly. Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Quotes Finally! 812Mar 16, 2017 5:45 pm Thought I should move the laundry cupboard discussion here rather than flooding Kat's board XD I cannot find a single photo of how I expected my laundry cupboard to be..but basically I was expecting a built in cupboard, that was fully plastered, with a single door (like a normal room door).. and then from that the other cabinetry would be built.. But actually looking at the plans.. maybe I was wrong about the PB above.. its a bit confusing.. but yeah, still expected single door.

XD DUST CITY!!! But I guess it is extra storage.. Ooh, just realised the ceiling height measurement is wrong.. its actually 2.7m.. I should have checked the plans more.. but I'm not one to argue. I also didn't ask what colour the cabinetry would be, or the benchtop.. or the tiles.. was expecting white cabinetry same as kitchen but they went with the bathroom vanity colour. Not really a big deal. I do intend to one day put overheads in there.. Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Quotes Finally! 813Mar 16, 2017 6:00 pm Oops I didn't even realise it was Kats post. Sorry Kat!! Never knock back extra storage, at least there is a silver lining. Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Quotes Finally! 814Mar 16, 2017 6:04 pm I like the timber laminate, it looks good. It's going to be interesting to see what tiles and benchtops you end up with. It's a kinder surprise laundry! Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Quotes Finally! 815Mar 16, 2017 6:26 pm Hahah, yeah Kat and I were discussing laundries. Oh, you made me laugh! It is so a kinder surprise laundry. I believe if I went and checked my contract/quote that there was something in there somewhere about stone in the laundry (and if so I didn't pay for it XD).. So my best guess is, white shimmer stone for the laundry bench same as the kitchen and bathrooms, and white splashback tiles, but not sure if they will go with the bathroom white tiles or the kitchens, only difference is size.. ooh, wonder what grout they will go with, kitchen is having dark grey subway tiles, and the bathroom is having white grout laid brick bond style.. I wonder if I should tell them what I'd prefer XD Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Quotes Finally! 817Mar 16, 2017 8:54 pm Your plans are inconsistent to say the least. Elevation 11 looks like it goes to the ceiling and is plaster board, but the plan doesn't show a stud wall for plaster board to be fixed to and elevation 10 shows it not going to the ceiling. Nowhere do they show a double door like you have . Anyway what you have looks great! I love the wood grain. Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Quotes Finally! 818Mar 16, 2017 9:09 pm The white shimmer will look great with the timber, will the tiles be the same as the bathroom? I wish I had upgraded the benches too but I had to stop somewhere. A couple of nice looking storage containers/baskets would look great on top of the linen. It is huge you will need a step ladder to reach the top shelf. Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Quotes Finally! 819Mar 17, 2017 10:51 am Haha no worries about my thread. I don't mind Looks the same as one of the displays near me so definitely not odd. I love that laminate colour more and more too! Will be fantastic. Have you heard anymore from your builder this week?? Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Quotes Finally! 820Mar 17, 2017 4:35 pm bank Your plans are inconsistent to say the least.

Nowhere do they show a double door like you have . Anyway what you have looks great! I love the wood grain. They are a little, but it took so long to get the plans I just couldn't be bothered holding off signing them for the few inconsistencies.. its only the laundry anyways XD I finally got to sign my contract on 15th of March 2016... after more than 12 months of working through them.. and my land settled February 2016, so I was in a bit of a rush by the end. It's all good, I'm a little flexible, my build is a little flexible so it sort of works out. Hehe, thanks Yeah I like the wood grain, it should look good with my floor tiles. I work with owner, he/she is my man on the ground and I instruct them when to visit the site and take photos and I have other tools in the bag. 4 16357 I am in the same situation, would you be able to give some insights in to this? I am in SA 8 17993 Depends what you're current inclusions are, but we're not including wardrobes and will just use second hand ones until we can save later on to get them built. Also have a… 3 12447 |
