Yes, Leece sounds like she has thought of lots of little things :-)

jodge · Apr 26, 2012 9:25 pm

okjorg · Apr 26, 2012 10:18 pm

I've jiggled things a bit to make a smaller footprint. . . 264sqm for the house & courtyard. . . 324.4sqm for the whole lot, including all decks.

WOW!!!! You can listen to Delta all you like ;-)

this is fabulous!!!!

It can only help my budget to have it still completely fabulous but fractionally smaller :-)

I love that I have a couple of different options to discuss with builders :-D

(a couple..... yeah I know..... I chuckled too!!!)

Sorry. . .but I decreased your hallway to 1100. . . I'm sure it'll be fine though.

I've maintained the L-shaped roof, and now your extra bit of roof only has to go over the ensuite and master bed's deck. . . you still need to check how they will do this, but I'm pretty confident it will be ok.

Your shower in the ensuite is approx 1m x 1.6m. . . vanity is 750mm. We may be able to increase the vanity and decrease the shower, but then the shower door opening is getting a wee bit close to the toilet ('scuse the pun).

Main bathroom. . . if you have the wall there as you come in, you won't see the toilet on entry. . . but if you get rid of the wall, it'll be cheaper, and you can make use of the cross-breeze for the kids' bedrooms at night.

I've replaced your walk-in-linen with a normal linen (3 doors), but I think the huge store more than makes up for that.

Dining room and kitchen width suffered a little, but because of this I was able to bring the deck width down a bit, which you really won't notice. This matches the 100mm taken from the hallway, so the roofs stay the same width.

Added another 200mm to the family room onto the deck.

HAHAHA! You can show the builder this one when the previous one comes in too expensive!!!

okjorg · Apr 26, 2012 11:01 pm

The more I look at it....... the more I don't like the new kitchen/ensuite area....... :-(

I think I liked it the way it was...... But I understand I have to get a few different options happening............ I'm not a squillionaire!!!!!

DAMN YOU BUDGET!!!!!!

okjorg · Apr 26, 2012 11:03 pm

Ahhhhhh I see what you've done....... the poor plan :-(

it's been hacked!!!! :-)

jodge · Apr 26, 2012 11:05 pm

what did I do? Damn .. . shouldn't have told you.

I saved you 9sqm off the house! That's a 3m x 3m room!

okjorg · Apr 26, 2012 11:08 pm

:-0 that was my second linen cupboard :-)

This does save me from a lot of the unused spaces we had...... straight into the practical...... that's Jodge!!!!!!

jodge · Apr 26, 2012 11:18 pm

Practical is. . . ermmm. . . practical ::lol::

What exactly don't you like? I thought it was ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS DARLINK!

dreamcometrue · Apr 26, 2012 11:28 pm

I don't know if this has been considered already - perhaps bed 3 door and robe could be swapped to the other side as the master bed backs onto the same wall as the child's bed? Could be better for your children too as their doors are very close to each other.

jodge · Apr 26, 2012 11:30 pm

Dreamcometrue. . . good point! Never been pointed out, in 40 pages!!!

Deemaree · Apr 27, 2012 7:33 am

I think Kiwi may have pointed out something about noise factor at one point.. :th:

Can we have a small nib wall either side of tthe foyer where the study wall ends? Doesn't have to be much wil will block the view of the breakfast bar as you walk in and also define tthe foyer without closing it in IYKWIM?

okjorg · Apr 27, 2012 8:48 am

Kiwi definitely pointed out "some sort of noise" factor.......... :-p
I love how Dee is still not happy with the Entry!!!
Ok soooooo I don't like how the kitchen and dining is all sucked in now......... the kitchen feels heaps smaller????

Everything else looks good... I like dreamcometrue's idea of changing that bedroom door and wardrobe.... otherwise I've been thinking about something jodge said about the sliding doors in the bedrooms..... I can have quite huge sliding doors in there if we wanted........ but I could also have a standard sliding door with space for a desk as well...... without taking up the whole wall......... I really don't need biggest in the kids rooms.......but myyyyy room....

Hi Okjorg, I am building off Yeppoon Road with local builder, Ben Hooper. We have only just started and hoping to have slab Wednesday next week (weather permitting). Just want to say I have enjoyed following all your plans. It's like a daily soap show. Can't wait to tune in to see what happens next. We too are having a tv point outside and also an open fireplace so we can be warm and toasty when watching state of origin. (Queenslander !!!!!!) Good luck with your plans they are looking fantastic.

okjorg · Apr 27, 2012 9:05 am

HI Alleycat!!!! A soap show indeed...... did you girls hear that!!!!!??? ppffftttt

I've been saying it for days.... ;-)

Sooo glad you are enjoying the show!!!

Open fireplace!!! Beautiful!!! GO QUEENSLANDER!!!!!!! This is exactly where we will be on that deck with the family room and the big screen blaring THE ORIGIN!!!!!! whoop whoop!!!

I have got a quote from Ben, he sounded great on the phone..... just have to decide who we want to meet with now.......
Can't wait to hear how your build goes :-)

I'm with Dee ... I still don't like the view from the front door and I don't like the wall in the bathroom ....

Deemaree · Apr 27, 2012 12:03 pm

^^ Me either Annette! I'd just swap the shower and toilet positions I think.. :th:
