Site works have begun! I started out the day peering from behind the curtains of the "shoebox" but then decided that the "kids" really wanted to watch all the action so we spent a lot of time outside today watching the trucks etc. Very exciting!

DH has been out watering the slab whenever it's dry to also help the curing process. & now the boring 2 week wait! we had a guy come out last Friday to spray a coating over the slab to keep the moisture in & today the plumber was here again doing the main drain. We've changed our wall paint colour, we were originally getting Solver to colour match Dulux "Sandy Day" but the sample they made up looked completely different (more like Antique white) Now we are having Solver "Bakers Own" which is apparently new to their range & looks awesome. It only took 4 sample pots & $40, kinda handy living in the shoebox though, we just painted large patches on the wall Building our custom design "Dream Home" Follow my Build - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=46820 Contract Signed - 28/04/11 Siteworks Commenced - 20/06/11 Re: Our custom design on 2 acres - Finally some slab pics! 80Jul 04, 2011 9:11 pm You get to have a slab dance looks huge,hoping to have mine done if the weather fines up ideal house depends on the site and location as much as internal floor plan....what is the distance from the house to all four boundaries, where is north, describe your… 3 15975 Hello, we can help you please get in contact 0421019219 thank you 3 32590 |
