Browse Forums Building A New House Re: MainVue Amalfi 532 - Final Fit off 361Aug 26, 2016 7:33 am Doing the floors yourself will definitely pay off. We love the look of our actual floor boards but the quads certainly look weird where they stop and start at the architraves. I thought I wouldn't notice them after a while but they still annoy me. Yes, we should have ditched driveway guy earlier but have stuck with him because we know his work will be good. We're pretty excited to get the landscape rolling in September. That's a massive job. We are outsourcing everything so costly but hopefully a great result. Re: MainVue Amalfi 532 - Final Fit off 362Aug 26, 2016 7:37 am Saint Girl Doing the floors yourself will definitely pay off.

I haven't even put a second of thought into landscaping yet, it's unfortunately the last priority in my list of things to do. Looks like we'll be having a dirt farm for a while Re: MainVue Amalfi 532 - Final Fit off 363Aug 26, 2016 7:45 am At least it will be Spring. I would choose a dirt farm over a mud yard for 6 weeks any day! Re: MainVue Amalfi 532 - Final Fit off 364Aug 26, 2016 7:47 am Saint Girl At least it will be Spring. I would choose a dirt farm over a mud yard for 6 weeks any day! Oh yeah, I hear you there! Just getting to the front door at our house means you add a good 5cm of Mud to the bottom of your shoes. Feels like you're walking around on platform shoes! Re: MainVue Amalfi 532 - Final Fit off 365Aug 26, 2016 8:16 am camma18 Saint Girl At least it will be Spring.

The missus really wanted them but I'm envious of your choice Gotta trust the missus; I'm sure your tiles will turn out awesome.

There are also still a few defects that they need to fix, but they refuse to even look at them until our SS gets back from leave. We'll hear from him early next week. Fingers crossed it should only take a couple of weeks after that to fix up the problems and then we should be looking at handover after that Re: MainVue Amalfi 532 - Final Fit off 372Sep 03, 2016 10:09 am Looks so good! Hope your neighbours love it too...it sits in there so comfortably. We found Henley really good getting on to defects, so I'm sure once your SS is back, that will be the case for you too. I must admit I'm so jealous of your nice flat block. Ours was before the build. Now the slope from our house to the fences is ridiculous ....especially the sides and rear Re: MainVue Amalfi 532 - Final Fit off 373Sep 03, 2016 10:28 am Saint Girl Looks so good!

Now the slope from our house to the fences is ridiculous ....especially the sides and rear Thanks Libby, funny story about that. I was trying the organise replacement fences for the RHS and back, and I got onto the landlord of the back house, who live around the corner. Old bloke. Tells me, without me asking for his opinion, that he doesn't like our roof. Lol! What an A-hole. Yeah we're pretty sure that our SS will get that stuff fixed quickly when he gets back. He's been really good throughout the build. Our block actually does sit up a little bit. You'll be able to see that from the brick fence on the left. So we'll have to build up the driveway a bit. So your driveway goes in next week? Re: MainVue Amalfi 532 - Final Fit off 374Sep 03, 2016 11:05 am Wow!!! It looks so good! We are due for site clean on the 5th I believe next week what a difference it makes having no fence or bin etc!
