Hey Kelly what are you changing to the Bordeaux 5? We are building the same design with a few changes also.



Minor stuff, extending robes, bathrooms so we can fit in a bidet into both. Also extended the wir. Centred the door on the wip to add an extra set of shelves.

You??

Yahhooooo bring on May 26th!!!! Move in date!!

Rebuild only days away from your move in,are you packed and ready???



wow that's gone so quick, you must be so excited!
Wow.. how did you manage to extend the robes ? I'd love a bigger wir !
We split bed 5 in half to make a small study and a bigger wip from the other end.. I love storage

We extended the ensuite out 450mm to the back and side moving the vanity to the back wall which allowed the toilet and bidet along the side wall. The 450mm to the side wall we added to wir.
bpj1980, our bricks are fairly good. However to our side wall of garage we feel they may have rushed it a bit and the bricks to garage have a slight grade going up towards the theatre room. So when you stand at corner of house and look down side you can see a slight peak. Its not a huge problem, but just wasn't what I would have expected. I am a bit of a perfectionist, and its something I would have fixed it if it was my job. Its also quite crooked where the wall meets the front corner which was done two weeks previously. He is probably right about the downpipes, so we will see. We are also having a retaining wall a metre high, with a 1.8m fence atop of that, so nobody will really see it anyway (but that's not the point!).

We thought we were getting gyprocked, but they haven't turned up yet, and we still have insulation that's not completed. Otherwise happy with all else.

Has anyone got photos of the back of their front door? We (under guidance of colour consultant) are having an entry door painted from and back with Monument. I am starting to worry this might look funny when the front door is closed from the interior view. Any thoughts/photos?
After a long long waiting, our building is going to complete very soon(4 to 6 weeks). The painter is already started his work and the tile work start after that. Today we noticed our garage door height is not enough its 2.1m, so if you are on planning stage better to add bit more space for your monster truck. The other thing in kitchen bulkhead, our one is not lined with rangehood. Its bit ugly to our eyes.





They look great Bayswater. I am sure its all coming together nicely for you. It will be exciting once they paint and tile!!
I like the grey kitchen cabinetry. Are you having a light or a dark benchtop?

We are going with light benchtop. The kitchen splah back still not decided yet.

how long was your build contract? I remember you started way before Christmas.
Building contract is 10months.. Hope we will get the keys within the time frame.

I had no idea double story took that much longer to build, but geez that 10mths went by quick

Yes they do. I have changed the wardrobes to mirrored sliding doors. It cost $321 for one bedroom and $1365 to extend and add to the other 3 bedrooms
