Re: Design your own home 31Oct 31, 2017 9:12 pm OK, time for another update: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ As you can see, things are moving along and the builder says that it should be habitable by the Christmas break. All the limestone walls are complete and the cleaning and sealing is progressing - the walls will go a light stone colour after that. The exterior red ironbark shiplap cladding is finished and just needs a light sanding. It has actually got darker with exposure, but over time will go a light grey. Next week the verandahs and eaves will be done. The gable end eaves are 450mm and the others 1 meter. Inside the red ironbark flooring is almost all laid and the tiler is at work. On the subject of tiles I must say what a depressing place tile showrooms are these days. A sea of grey all over - boring, boring, boring. I got some colour, but hell, it comes at a price. Photos to come when they are laid. The cabinetry materials and colour has been decided and they are being built and all the paint colours have been settled on. Being able to model the colours in the design software has been of great assistance and made a difficult job much easier. The plan I did has stood the test of time and has hardly been altered. The builders view is that the plan is a guide for him and he will make changes where he thinks it is necessary. I was quite comfortable with this and we have got along swimmingly. I'm usually onsite a couple of times a day; quite often to lift or unload stuff with the tractor and forks and this saved us having to hire other lifting equipment. The builder costed scaffolding hire and it was an outrageous price , so he bought his own and charged me around half what it would have cost otherwise, with no hurry to pull it down. More to come when the cabinets are done and there is some colour inside. Yep, very good point. I’ll do more research and see what figures I get.
