Our plans only got lodged yesterday with Council. MJH said it will probably take 6-8 weeks before they are approved. Your house will probably be almost finished before ours is even started at the rate we are going.

Can't wait to see some photos of the bathrooms when they are tiled. Also looking forward to seeing your outside paint colour because I think you chose Manhatton, the same as us. Is that correct? CathyLeigh CathyLeigh Building the Monte Carlo Executive with rear activities with Balinese Resort Facade, Salt Water Beach Estate, Wallabi Point Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 10348May 01, 2015 8:30 pm Yep sure is. We are really happy with how everything is coming together. The kitchen is a little creamier than I remember but I didn't want stark white so I'm happy with it! Bench tops were measured up this week so possibly being installed next week. I'm so happy with my tile choices and actually the floor tile matches the kitchen cabinets perfectly so it will all marry up really nicely! Getting excited now! SS reckons we will shoe in our PCI date in August well and truly! I've begged him for July so we are in for my birthday so fingers crossed! Building the Bronte Executive Grande at Windella NSW Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 10349May 01, 2015 10:09 pm So much progress! Very happy with how well my SS Les is organising things. He said he needed bricking complete before roof could begin. Yesterday gutters were delivered. As soon as roofers were at the point where it could be done, gutters were installed and bricking continued until the end of today They worked two days through rain to gain progress on our house. Am so impressed how quickly this was organised and installed. We think they will be back tomorrow as they have the smallest amount left then we can send them down to you J And A!! Lol!! Hoping this quick pace continues and we see a roof Monday or Tuesday!! Happy customer right now!! - still waiting to hear back about the oven from our colour consultant as our plans were incorrectly stating a 900mm oven. Not sure how this is going to be resolved if they technically don't stock these for miele. Possibly we will need to change over to another brand. Hmmm.

Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 10359May 02, 2015 1:48 pm We are second guessing our decision on going with laminate bench top for the laundry. Anyone else went with laminate bench top for the laundry? if so, how are you finding it? Our McDonald Jones Cordova Two Build - http://cordovatwomjh.blogspot.com.au Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 10360May 02, 2015 1:51 pm We went for laminate in laundry and standard cupboards! I'm happy with it but hubby would've preferred stone he said. I went with laminate as it is the laundry. It looks great and I love the colour and in all honesty I figure it is the room least people will see!
