Heard from Coral today and our contract will be in on the 18th Jan. So close! We are going down to see our sales guy in the weekend about a couple of changes. We are adding our patio roofing afterward and we need to get something added to the trusses to support it. There is nothing behind the facia to screw the bracket thingy's into. Not sure of the correct terminology lol (hubby's department).
Also, they are cutting the land close to the house so we want to see if they will cut in a few metres out to give us more room as we are 20-30 metres from the boundary. I will post a pic so you can see what I mean. I don't want a retaining wall 1 metre from the house when we have all that space. I hope I am making sense lol.
We have also got quotes for our patio (attached pic). Busy finalising quotes for finance
Yay!
Hi Tamara

Our sales rep the very first consult in 10 mins of sitting down he insisted we add the elegance package and that was that....we are so new at this never built before trusted he knows what hes talking about! However maybe because we wanted ducted air it was the best option for us i hope when we get to select stage that we may be able to choose them also?? We went express to contract so still yet to pick everything

viewtopic.php?t=85789We didn't think about it either! Hubby just happened to go a show room and the lady there mentioned it. There is nothing behind the fascia to screw the bracket into. We are going to see if we can add the brackets to the trusses before the roof goes on. I will post a youtube video to show what I mean.

We have a contract! There is just one minor problem with the location of one of the surface irrigation areas for our HSTP. It is right where hubby's shed is going. We just have to get it moved. Meeting with the mortgage broker tomorrow night. We aren't signing until we get preapproval based on the new numbers. Previous pre-approval was based on an estimate (which was more wishful thinking that reality). Then we are ready to sign and get the ball rolling! Excited!
Hi Tamara
Hope your approvals.come thru!
Wondering if you got any costings back from Coral Re the Rafter strengthening brackets for your pergola?
We will.need tondo it as well so not sure if I should include it or try speak to the chippies..
Thanks

viewtopic.php?t=85789Hiya
There was no costing around it. The details have been sent to Coral. I was going to ask about it at the contract signing but we haven't got that far yet. I would talk to Coral. Some tradies can be funny about doing other things outside of the contract. Apparently steel frame is more complicated for the brackets so I would talk to them about it now
Let me know how you get on.
Glad you received your contract, admin is such a pain in the arse!
Hope your got your approval

I just want to get going!
Ahh waiting is the worst part

viewtopic.php?t=83643I will post some pics of the tiles. We are wanting timber look tiles for the main floor area. Ensuite I like darker grey tiles (floor to ceiling) with timber look laminate cabinet with black stone benchtop.
For the kids bathroom I want light grey concrete look tiles with a white vanity. Not sure about kitchen splashback though. Maybe white subway tiles. I want a white and black (or black/charcoal timber look laminex).
Pics to come
Inspiration for the kitchen
I like a stark white kitchen but also like it with some black/charcoal in it too. We can't afford a glass splashback - we have about 8 metres of splashback so I would need a mortgage for that alone. I am leaning more towards the look in the last pic. Can't wait to do colours!
Ooh I love all of your inspo pics!!
I am having dark moody bathrooms, although I am constantly second guessing my decision, here's hoping I don't regret my choices I made in June last year
We are also having a white kitchen, I would have loved a mirror splash back our range hood isn't hidden by cupboards so I think it would look weird lol.

Ooh do you have a photo by chance? I am so worried about how it's going to look so I'd love to see any real life photos of dark bathrooms instead of the styled to perfection photos on google images

viewtopic.php?t=83643These are the best I can find. Was still under construction but you get the idea
Yours will look great!
Ooh that's just stunning!!! Thank you so much!! Feeling 100x better, did you use the same floor tile on the wall? Hats what is scaring me the most there's nothing to break it up, but the white basins break it up perfectly
