Far out, brussel sprout! Have not been able to submit a reply here for weeks. Has been doing my head in. Sorry everyone. Will do a photo update when I get a chance, but we are basically at painting stage and locked out. Some minor things have had to be addressed, but supervisor has been onto them an...

Brickies are almost done. Really happy with the quality of their work. Really nice guy and his apprentice. They've been giving me little tips here are there while we are there watering plants and stuff. Plasterers had a guy come in over the weekend and measure up and install the plaster to the wet a...

Wired the home theater/games room with lots of speaker wires last night and insulated all the home theater/games room walls today with acoustic batts to help contain the sound. Glad it's done as it took forever. Insulation was not as itchy as I thought it would be too.

Ah, of course! My wife did tell me that ages ago. Duh! Hey, I only slept 2 hours after work last night as I had to meet the electrician on site this morning... and that's the excuse I am sticking too.;-)

Wow, best of luck. :-) Interesting seeing your colour selection. Not the choices you made, but the options you had. We had to pick everything from individual samples and there were no options to look at pre-selected combinations. No biggie, but interesting that a company isn't the same everywhere fo...

Sorry for the late reply Cleef85. We have been incredible busy with some personal stuff, work and build related things. Really like what you have done with the Kimberley 30. The costs are a pain and the ones you mentioned are a necessity I guess and you can't avoid them like some luxuries like penda...

Yeah, it wouldn't hurt to compare. I'm sure the rep would be happy to do it. We did it at his desk and decided to go the way we went. Please don't take my comments as convincing you or anyone else to change. Just sharing our experience with a similar situation. As far as our progress goes, you can s...

starting to think we should have gone the Devenport :-/ One of the reasons we changed from the Kimberly to the Devonport, was because the Devonport had inclusions that we were paying to upgrade/change with the Kimberly, so combined with the promo at the time, it worked out better for us. Nothing wr...

Went to the block today to water the natives I have planted on the back fence line and the brickies have started. Woohoo. Really friendly guys who had a chat and said that they should have it done in 2 weeks. As long as they do a great job, I don't care how long it takes. Very keen to see what it wi...

You'll get there Cleef85. It will come around before you know it and then you will feel like you have so much to do. Really behind on photos. Here's some with the roof on and bricks waiting to be worked. This was actually done before Christmas, so the bricks are ready for the brickie when he comes b...

Dennis Family Homes - Devonport 363. Build has started...Building A New House

Dec 04, 2017 12:39 am

G'day everyone. Thought I'd start my own thread and update it as time goes on. My wife and I are building the Devonport 363 with Dennis Family Homes in northern Victoria on a half acre block, outside a small town and our block backs onto a very large forest that goes all the way to the Murray River....
