Browse Forums Building A New House Adelaide Designer Homes 2015 PCI done! 821Dec 02, 2015 9:33 pm Sounds like you had a really good PCI blue, those little things will be ticked off in the coming week, just make sure you go back through and double check them. Our Ss made notes on his iPad and then emailed us the list for hand over checking. Defiantly made it easier. I found it really hard to be critical when our Ss was standing there too, but it's your house and it needs to be done properly, we had rough patches on our stone which turned out to be paint over spray, acetone got it off immediately. Our Ss ran his hands along the bottom of every cupboard door to make sure they sat flush to one another too, I thought he was mad but we had one that was off and he got it replaced. Opening and closing every door and cupboard is helpful too, we had a few wonky door handles. When your caulking man comes make sure he does behind your toilets where they meet the walls, we had a few missed. Your kitchen looks so stylish and I love the black tap . That tape on your bench is what I use to tape up the walls when I paint feature walls Hehehhe best stuff ever . Sooooooooo do you have a hand over date . I'm ridiculously excited for you. Re: Adelaide Designer Homes 2015 PCI done! 822Dec 02, 2015 9:40 pm Tribe, you always know what to say! xx I do love how the kitchen has turned out. Handover is next Wednesday or once we have the money/Bank gives us the money but I am planning on next Wednesday. Flooring man starts tomorrow so might start having some colourful photos. It is really hard with SS following around but he wrote everything down (in terrible handwriting) and is going to email it to us also (typed out). The blue or green painting masking tape is great......how did anyone paint before it Re: Adelaide Designer Homes 2015 PCI done! 823Dec 02, 2015 10:06 pm Good news bluesteel! Do like your kitchen. Sounds like all went as expected. Funny how it's all done differently though, our builder is coming back in a couple of weeks to see if I'm happy with everything and we haven't seen the final invoice yet. All very laid back is our guy haha Next Wednesday is so close, looking forward to seeing your floors now Custom build Northern NSW viewtopic.php?f=31&t=72217 Re: Adelaide Designer Homes 2015 PCI done! 824Dec 03, 2015 12:17 am Great news bluesteel!!

Well done.. Nearly there BS Adelaide Designer Homes 2015 Flooring started Pics!! 828Dec 07, 2015 5:20 pm Ohhhh wow mumma those floors look sensational!!!! A similar Nordic teak to your front door stain I just noticed all your fancy light and power point switches, very nice indeed Re: Adelaide Designer Homes 2015 Flooring started Pics!! 829Dec 07, 2015 5:51 pm Thanks ladies, bit exciting! Tribe ADH gives these PP and switches as standard (for about 20 I think) so we used them in "visible areas" the others are regular switches. Re: Adelaide Designer Homes 2015 Flooring started Pics!! 830Dec 07, 2015 5:55 pm bluesteel Thanks ladies, bit exciting! Tribe ADH gives these PP and switches as standard (for about 20 I think) so we used them in "visible areas" the others are regular switches. Theres an idea I didnt think about!! We loved those switches as well but couldnt justify the cost for the whole house so went boring and plain.....should have done what you did.....very clever BS Re: Adelaide Designer Homes 2015 Flooring started Pics!! 831Dec 07, 2015 6:11 pm Looks fantastic bluesteel and so great to hear you have access before handover, yippee! Custom build Northern NSW viewtopic.php?f=31&t=72217 Re: Adelaide Designer Homes 2015 Flooring started Pics!! 833Dec 07, 2015 6:38 pm Pam, I wouldn't have even thought of it....and if had to upgrade, most likely wouldn't have! TW yes SS was so good allowing it because we had a delay with silicon there was a concern it would be all delayed by Christmas, the shutdown is 18/12. Livpal, thanks, can't take any credit for switches.....good work ADH! I was only there briefly today to deliver the one tonne of floor boxes...yes one tonne. Tomorrow morning is going to be interesting..reach for nurofen. Re: Adelaide Designer Homes 2015 Flooring started Pics!! 835Dec 07, 2015 8:21 pm Beautiful!!!! I now love white walls Seeing this and in Tribe's home, I now know white can be attractive, classy, friendly and inviting. Before now I would have thought "sterile, clinical or lifeless". So inspirational! So much fun Re: Adelaide Designer Homes 2015 Flooring started Pics!! 837Dec 07, 2015 9:33 pm Tribe7 What a bonus blue, I think Clarendon where offering a similar thing up here at the time. Ohhh the list for next time just keeps growing There will always be a "list" for next time Thanks Franky - nothing beats your pretty stairs atm x Thank TC - I would only have a white/shade of white - I love white walls - ours are a very very light warm greyish white. Re: Adelaide Designer Homes 2015 Flooring started Pics!! 838Dec 07, 2015 9:36 pm You are too sweet x What colour is your wall? It looks gorgeous. I am a big white wall fan but problem is way too many whites to choose from its over whelming!!! viewtopic.php?t=78985 Re: Adelaide Designer Homes 2015 Flooring started Pics!! 839Dec 07, 2015 9:39 pm We have solver first snow. It was the closest I could find to dulux whisper white - which is my all time favourite white- both have black and ochre tints - making for good coverage but no starkness - but no yellow! What colour are you going with? Re: Adelaide Designer Homes 2015 Flooring started Pics!! 840Dec 07, 2015 9:44 pm bluesteel We have solver first snow. It was the closest I could find to dulux whisper white - which is my all time favourite white- both have black and ochre tints - making for good coverage but no starkness - but no yellow! What colour are you going with? Wow you sound knowledge re paints!! It does my head in ! Especially choosing the White almost drove me (and my poor hubby) insane! But you've made my day as we have chosen Dulux whisper white . I wanted something that was not too stark but did not want any yellow/creams!!
