Browse Forums Building A New House Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 281Nov 18, 2016 4:23 pm That's a little reassuring.... had a quick walk through this afternoon and wondered if the walls were too dark/grey. We requested the same as the display home - might go for another look through it. Went to take some more photos without the windows covered but the camera came up with 'no memory card' hahaha Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 283Nov 18, 2016 6:12 pm Thanks Fiat - we just popped over as the family to have a quick look, quite late in the day (5:30pm light) and it looked good - not as dark as the image I took away with me earlier. With lights, flooring and furniture it will be as we planned. How's your place going? Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 284Nov 20, 2016 7:27 am Shed is massive!!! Love the wall colour!! Your place is looking gorgeous GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 viewtopic.php?t=83643 Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 285Nov 20, 2016 7:48 am Thanks CB.... I keep checking in to see how your build's going.... hopefully soon for you and once it starts it's all smooth. Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 286Nov 25, 2016 4:37 pm Electrical fit-out looks to be complete (except for shed and ducted a/c). We have a clothes line too! Not sure what's next.... possible BBQ cabinets, shed gyprocking, plumbing (I'm guessing this will be after BBQ cabinet)..... floorboards are early December, so following week. Still unsure of hand-over date - hopefully we'll hear soon. Happy that things are happening each day though.

Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 290Nov 26, 2016 9:29 am Looking great!! Love your wall colour. Although I'm biased coz that's the colour we painted our last house haha - otherwise known as Kym - Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 291Nov 30, 2016 8:45 am Got a quick look through this morning. Most taps are fitted.... forgot photo of pantry tap (kitchen sink, BBQ cabinet/sink not installed yet).
Floorboards are starting today. Can't wait for them to tie everything together.

Wowza looking amaze balls Have you been given a PCI date? GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 viewtopic.php?t=83643 GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 293Nov 30, 2016 9:30 am No PCI yet... Christmas is a slight chance but if that doesn't play out it's likely around the new year which will be great as we'll be on holidays and it will be good to get some yardwork and other jobs done before a chaotic return to work.
Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 296Nov 30, 2016 1:12 pm Thanks Yarraland and Livpal... we can't wait to move in and enjoy it now Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 297Dec 03, 2016 4:06 pm Bit more happened in this heat wave over the last few days. Floorboards are mostly in - just the skirting that needs to go on by the looks of it. Shower screen is mostly installed, along with mirrors in bathroom, powder room and ensuite. Fencing posts are installed for rear boundary, two sides and around the pool - neighbour has even put up a 'trendy' screen due to our pool site being raised - not sure I'm a fan of the off balance palings but in time we'll have plants screen his screen Ducted air-con vents are installed, along with the control panel - main units still to be placed (at the end I'm guessing). Bought a water tank (11 000L) with a pump in the same colour as the shed - will be delivered on Tuesday. Insulation for the shed is ready - I'm guessing they're waiting for plaster delivery to get it going - it's been pre-wired. Have also bought window furnishings - all except for stacker doors - roller blinds in grey, except full length windows in Bed 2 are white timber blinds. Some are double (sheer and block-out) some are just block-out. Driveway to shed, path along shed, garden shed (6.2 x 3.2m) and water tank (3x3m) concreting likely to be formed and poured this week coming - possibly the exposed aggregate (eclipse) around pool area also. Now that we're deciding to aggregate rather than tile around the pool deck, I'm hoping I can make the driveway bigger (at the shed end) as going aggregate will be cheaper than tiling.

Love the "trendy" screen lol oh well I'm sure you will be too busy looking at your amazing house for quite a while to notice while your plants grow Follow my build viewtopic.php?t=83885 Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 300Dec 04, 2016 4:33 pm Buildingonup - yeah, the screen is on the unused side of the house and no biggie at all - he did approach us last week and ask if we were going to do a screen, when I replied - we'll put a garden bed along there - he obviously wanted something more immediate. Fiat - we can't wait - wish we started when you did - we'd be enjoying the pool already! May I ask why you chose not to use GJ Gardiner?
