Yep 10 month old here too cruising furniture and particularly feral on this day! We took it in turns entertaining him while the other one sorted out the contract business. Our BC (who took us through contract) was awesome about him being there though. And those stairs certainly are appealing aren't ...

We will seal our tiles ourselves. At colours the guy suggested you are able to do it as a spray or a paint from Bunnings even! We will do it after handover and before we move in. We especially want the tiled splash back behind the cook top sealed!

Thanks for the pictures guys. Keep them coming! I have found some pictures from some display homes I think I like... slightly different to what we have chosen, so think we will change! http://img.tapatalk.com/31c3fb15-1977-240b.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/31c3fb15-198e-2040.jpg

Hi All We have just selected colours for our build but now I am second guessing! We have selected lighter coloured upper cupboards (pumice?!) and slightly darker (velveteen) lower cupboards. Our kitchen splash back is tiled in a stone/mocha with a window reveal. Caesar stone is ivory. Really worried...

Happy Easter! Did you guys freak out the next day after colour selections?! Having a bit of a worry as those little coloured squares of laminate and stone stare back at me. It's soooo hard to tell what it will look like!

Hi guys Just a quick one - we had colour today and wanted to check if anyone had done a Cat 2 brick upgrade or knew rough costs. We are building the 36sq. Just pouring over the budget with a fine tooth comb trying to reign it in!! Thanks!

Hey Alpal. House is looking great, especially now bricks are on and plaster is in! A real house now! (Can you remind me which bricks you went for again. Still deciding on ours) And while we are at that, does anyone have the Boral addresses for where the Brushwood or BrownTerrain brick were used and ...

Hi All, Over at the Porter Davis thread there has been talk of officially trying to collate the cost of extras and upgrades that everyone did for future reference. If you have built with PD and can recall any extras whether it be brick upgrades, tiles, electrical, doors etc etc, please post your var...

Thanks heaps guys. I think we will go and visit Boral bricks definitely then. It would be nice to see the bricks in action also! We were hoping not to have to spend too much on upgrades at colours as I said. But from what I gather, then Cat 1 bricks are a bit limited. We are after a dark/choc/mocha...

Hi Cinders We had no budget to upgrade bricks, but that was when all the pricing was secret too, so I didn't know how m...
