Browse Forums Building A New House Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 321Dec 24, 2016 8:38 am Cheers - pretty much have work to do around the property everyday till hand-over so it's all going to work out well. Looking forward to your build starting and seeing it unfold. Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 322Jan 03, 2017 9:50 am Wow!!! just catching up all the threads. It looks stunning Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 323Jan 11, 2017 9:40 pm Been flat out since getting keys for the shed.... but quick update - we got keys to the house late this arvo. Was a bit of a blur when the bank said at 4pm they could get a cheque written up and the builder said they could meet for handover at 5:30pm. There's still a couple of things to complete but they're booked for the next few days. Super happy to be moving stuff into the house tomorrow. Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 324Jan 12, 2017 8:04 am Ah awesome news~ Congratulations!!! Hope you still hang around on the forum for a little while longer ~ Q: Did you say that your block of land points directly north? (i.e. looking out from the alfresco is north) Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 326Jan 12, 2017 8:34 am Woah you got keys?! congrats Can't wait to see pictures GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 viewtopic.php?t=83643 Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 328Jan 13, 2017 7:54 pm Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 329Jan 13, 2017 7:58 pm We'll post more pics and info when we're settled. Being on over half an acre there's still a lot to get done and I'd like to post the landscaping to complete the journey. Yarraland - Fraser Coast region Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 331Jan 26, 2017 4:56 pm Design is awesome. I've hardly been inside though ☺. Had over 700m2 turf laid on Monday and doing our best to keep it alive in this scorching heat while working full time is this week's challenge. Pool is all done - absolutely awesome. Lady coming tomorrow before work to give advice on plants for garden beds. Only issues with house are bed 1 a/c not getting cold feeling, some windows have gaps near mortar and some taps outside (I'm going to replace), small hole in one stacker flyscreen. Our lives are very different (for the better - except financially hahaha) but that's probably more to do with block/area, shed etc but the house is very nice. Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 333Jan 26, 2017 6:55 pm Ah, very nice~~ Is that picture facing north? If so, how's the sunlight in the family/dining.? My block also faces north and was wondering if the alfresco cuts a lot of the sun out to the dining/family. Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 334Jan 26, 2017 8:08 pm Heaps of light. Only put lights on after dark. Our colours are light but I can't imagine it being dark regardless. How long till you build? Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 335Jan 28, 2017 3:59 pm Still playing tennis... back and forth trying to finalise a floorplan. Our land settles in a few months so no real rush. How's the inner courtyard looking? Have you had a chance to work on it yet? Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 336Jan 28, 2017 6:32 pm Fun and games. Enjoy the planning stages. Courtyard is tiled and ready for the feature garden. Had a lady from the nursery around yesterday and waiting for her quotes for the plants/rocks. Hopefully by Easter we'll have hedges along the driveway fence, the courtyard garden completed and other long fenceline filled in. Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 337Mar 22, 2017 4:52 pm An update photo of our courtyard area and driveway (nicknamed Lilly Pilly Lane). Plants are small but will fill the area in nicely (and give good screens) over the next few years. On to the next few projects - more gardening ☺ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 338Mar 22, 2017 9:50 pm What tap ware and basin do u have ??? Standard GJG or outsourced. Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 339Mar 23, 2017 8:29 am Tapware is from the GJ list as with bathroom basins. Codes are in this thread where I wrote out selections. Can't remember precisely now, something -17. Kitchen sink is upgrade as is alfresco and pantry. May I ask why you chose not to use GJ Gardiner?
