The undermount sink cost is $485 and we just changed it at our colour appointment. Have you started a thread for your build? i would love to see it come to life  14 Aug 2010 2,100 QLD Gold Member Re: Modified Coral Cloncurry. We have keys!! 804Oct 21, 2017 12:13 pm Hi everyone. I thought I would give an update. We are still waiting for the internet to be put on. So frustrating! In a nutshell with a lot of drama and misinformation given we were told we could get NBN, then told we can't (even though neighbours can). Technician comes out to hook up adsl and phone line. Still doesn't work. Finally, telstra faults guy comes out this morning and finds the technician didn't even put in the line between the road and the house. Then he asks why we arent getting NBN. We explain and he says we can get it so he calls NBN and hands the job to them and they are coming out to hook us up. Nearly a month with no internet! Anyway, the house is great. Slowly getting there. Patio roofing is almost finished (we have done more than in the photos). Patio roof outside master bedroom still needs to go up. Pool is in. Hubby and I are off to Bali for 2 weeks on Tuesday so nothing else will get done until we get back. Driveway was supposed to start last monday but the rain has held it up. We love the house and have had no major issues. I have 5 weeks off work so I am hoping to get some landscaping done before I go back to work. Will post more progress pics as we go.

Boo about the internet...and those pendants.. it just doesn't look right does it!? So sorry. What media room soundbar have you got? Our sound bar is a Yamaha - about $350ish from Harvey Norman. It sounds great. Good value for money. Re: Modified Coral Cloncurry.

We have keys!! 811Nov 09, 2017 8:28 am MissLuckyLooks great!! Frustrating with no internet. We only just yesterday got ours hooked up, took them 2 and a half months but worth the wait as it's superfast. As others have said ,you can always upsize your bed and bedsides. Your bath looks the same as ours, so luxe! Enjoy your holiday!! Hi neighbour!! We finally got our internet on the 31st Oct. And they are still saying we can't get NBN even though the telstra tech that came out said we can and we are in the available part of the rollout map. So we are on ADSL but it isn't too bad. It is just nice to have internet lol. Our driveway was finally poured on Monday morning after several holdups from the rain. It still needs to be acid washed and sealed. The decking has finally started. Hubby is building that so it may take a while lol. In the meantime, we have old carpet on our patio (better than dirt). It actually works quite well and we can still use it. Hubby was out there vacuuming yesterday lol. Re: Modified Coral Cloncurry. We have keys!! 812Nov 10, 2017 6:36 am Looks like a bigger bed is needed!! You could have my problem where the bed is too big and we have no room for bedsides  Looking gorgeous tam!!! Re: Modified Coral Cloncurry. We have keys!! 814Nov 23, 2017 7:03 am It's all looking fabulous Tamara! I just love the size of your ensuite.  Love your bedside pendants too and you're right, just buy a king size with the right shaped bed frame and all should be good! At least the internet is up and running for you.  Look forward to seeing your deck come along.My thread can be found here - I hope! https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=89313 14 Aug 2010 2,100 QLD Gold Member Re: Modified Coral Cloncurry. We have keys!! 815Nov 23, 2017 5:25 pm Hey everyone. I thought I would update. It feels like progress has been slow but we have been working on huge projects with limited time. Our main deck is almost finished. Hubby just has to tidy up the ends and put pool fencing up. We also need to build the deck around the pool which we will step down to from the main deck. We also have to stain the decking. It is huge! Approx 18m x 5m. Love it though it makes our huge 8 seater outdoor setting look tiny lol. We have an outdoor lounge to bring up from the shed but we are still having to hose the deck down daily to get the tanin out so will wait until that is all done first. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Next project will be the patio roof off the master bedroom and the decking outside the front door. Check out our current door step lol. Visitors have to "walk the plank" t enter our house at the moment lol Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The driveway and front path was finally done 2 weeks ago. We are happy with how it turned out. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Hubby and I have 2 weeks off work over Christmas so we are hoping to tackle our huge front lawn and get some grass and gardens in. I put a veggie garden in a couple of weeks ago which is something I missed when we were renting. I will put more in once the fill that was dumped there is removed. My niece and nephew are visiting from NZ and they helped me water it this morning. We currently have 13 staying in our house lol.

Driveway and decking pics. 816Nov 23, 2017 5:37 pm Oh and an update on internet... We finally got adsl on after arguing with telstra and NBN over whether or not we could get NBN (Other neighbours were told we could, telstra tech said we could and the rollout map said we could. NBN and Telstra said we can't. Anyway, next door neighbour finishes their build and moves in and the next day (after the move) the NBN tech is there connecting them to NBN. WTF?? We call telstra to demand NBN and the person hubby spoke to said it was obvious we could get NBN and "I will set it up now for you". So we will have NBN in the next few days lol. The guy was at a loss as to why they thought we couldn't get it. So frustrating. Also, I had an amazing carving made in Bali for the feature recess in our bedroom. It is 1.6m x 1.3m. Weighs 18kg. We just have to work out how to hang it lol. It doesn't look that big in the pic but it is huge. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ 12 Jul 2017 54 Loyal Member Re: Modified Coral Cloncurry.

Driveway and decking pics. 820Dec 08, 2017 7:31 pm Your deck is massive its all looking great, would really love a pool. Love the Bali carving too, we are going in June and will hopefully be near the end of our build hoping to get some artwork done. Hi, as per the subject. Does anyone have any recommendations for the best value decking oil (Bunning is close to where I live) for a treated pine deck? Thanks 0 22412  Hi, looking at house plans and not all of them have any mention of a driveway or even air con. So, is the 'from' price just the house in those cases?
