So my heart can relax now and it will all be fixed !

Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 10850May 25, 2015 6:09 pm J and A safaa81 cwiseman No the painter is reading the colour schedule as written by the colours team. I have requested a credit back as we too paid $475 for two coats of stain- what a joke! Have just emailed our CLO- not good enough! At all! Had we been told that at colours that it will only be one side I would've spent my money elsewhere or not at all! Anything to meet a quota I guess. One very unhappy customer by the day here now ! Read your colour documents everyone cause it's the bible Hi Cwiseman, Did they seriously just stain one side of the door? How off would that look! You walk to the front of the house and it's a beautiful stain you shut the door and its white (or whatever colour you picked)? Can you post a pic! I'd really like to see that. Anyway we went to get out colour folder today. It was fun and we'd only been on the walk through. Looks like house work is going to suffer for a few days while I spend every spare moment checking this put and going through it with a fine tooth comb. I'm going to check mine as well now, They better be staining both sides of the door. I have Front/Laundry/Media and WAlk in Pantry doors being done. How Stupid would it look for the Media Doors! Going to check mine tonight as well. Our front door, butler pantry, laundry and home theatre are all going to be stained. Will be damn annoyed if its only one side!

Looking more and more promising each day! ... Once we overcome the aircon thing !! Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 10855May 25, 2015 8:47 pm We had doors installed today! How excitement!

That sucks! Ours is stained both sides & it was never mentioned or given as an option at colour selections. I had a call from the S/S last Thursday with some good news. We are booked in for PCI on 5th June & if all is good, handover a few days later. Woo Hoo!! Creedy. Hi Creedflyer You must be absolutely stoked. Handover is just around the corner for you. You are going to love moving into your new home. How exciting!!! I have really enjoyed watching your build.
