Re: Tim's House in WA with HBC 4Oct 04, 2009 8:31 pm building heysen4e through SarahHomes at Milang IM THE PROUD OWNER OF DIRT house into council 22/08 Unconditionally approved 25/09 mortgage docs signed 29/09 land settled 09/10 land titled 22/10 start date about two weeks away!!! http://www.mymilangbuild.blogspot.com/ Re: Tim's House in WA with HBC 6Oct 04, 2009 8:44 pm Thanks for the nice comments jodie80, singlemum2daughters, and issy jo! I brought straight off the plans as HBC didn't have a Aussie Alfresco as a Showhome. I'm not to sure how the shower in the ensuite is going to work out?? I hadn't noticed that before. HBC do have a showroom in Ellenbrook with a "similar" master bed room and ensuite lay out and I didn't notice anything weird so I hope its ok. When I did my prestart I upgraded the loo in the ensuite for a more "sleek" model so hopefully that will help?? (I had to go and buy a blu-ray player after spending hundreds of $$$ upgrading the toilet to balance out the universe!) The only other thing I'm struggling with is the space in the family room for my TV, the wall is only 2.1 meters long and I'm worried about it looking all "stuffed in". Cheers, Tim ________________________________________________________________ Building with HBC Aussie Alfresco Games Re: Tim's House in WA with HBC 7Oct 04, 2009 8:49 pm Hi Tim great looking home, I am sure fitting your stuff in the family room will be fine ![]() Building with Homebuyers Centre El Questro!

It looks like it should have been the same as your main bathrooms' shower- the cut off corner bit where the door is. I was actually thinking the same thing!! Hopefully your new slimline toilet will give you a bit more room to get in the shower!! ![]() PS - Blu-Ray is going mobile!!! viewtopic.php?f=31&t=22766 - my build thread! Time waits for no man.

Re: Tim's House in WA with HBC 11Oct 04, 2009 8:57 pm Hi Jodie, yeah, I'll be ** if I have to step over the loo to get into the shower!! ![]() ![]() I've never understood why "they" insist on having the master bedroom on the road front, someone told me its so you don't have your kids bedrooms there instead. singlemum2daughters, I know what you mean about building on the beach, when I talk to my family in NZ I tell them to imagine they are standing on the beach when I'm trying to explain what its like!! ________________________________________________________________ Building with HBC Aussie Alfresco Games Re: Tim's House in WA with HBC 12Oct 04, 2009 8:58 pm ![]() Do you have one of those massively inflated tv's tim??

It's quite a big space, the bit behind the house is 17m wide by 13m deep.
