Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jan 24, 2016 6:38 pm Hello! After reading along for a few months, we’ve decided to start our own thread My partner and I are from the UK and have been here for about 6 years. We moved from QLD about 6 months ago so we’re just starting to get our bearings. We purchased a block in Yanchep – very exciting because we’ve been renting for the last 6 years! Prestart was this week so now looking forward to the end result. Not sure whether it’s the same with every build but who knew that picking carpet, tiles, paint etc was such hard work – lol. The house we’re building is the Lennox build by Celebration Homes.

Welcome aboard - the lennox is a popular home and I like what you've done with it - in particular the storage (WIL, WIR, Pantry) and the powder room! Thanks Wellard2ndTimers Love our WIL/Store – never can have too much storage We added the Powder room to save walking through the house - hopefully it’ll work well Re: Building the Lennox with Celebration Homes 6Feb 10, 2016 9:08 pm Maddison Garage Door Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Bathrooms Jersey Ash Feature Tile with Lanka Matt White, Osprey Caesarstone, Stone Matt Cabinets with Belga Grey floor tiles Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ My Air!

Some of the standard inclusions weren't too bad We've gone for the standard Stylus Cadet Sink Mixer for both Kitchen & Laundry, also the mini version for the bathroom sinks. Standard Caroma Series A adjustable wall showers for the ensuite, but upgraded to the Stylus Cadet Rail Shower for the main bathroom (kids) -lol We upgraded to the Rinnai 26 Hot Water System and added more zones to our aircon/My Air Just waiting for our plans to be finalised so we can get the ball rolling!

It's a nice looking house! Good luck with the waiting....it's almost killing me waiting for final plans. Re: Building the Lennox with Celebration Homes 13Feb 13, 2016 4:55 pm Love your selections too! We nearly went for the Ancient Teak but couldn't decide whether it was too busy with the our feature tile (Jersey ash) - so went plain stone grey for our cabinets. We're having Kitty Grey on the front elevation Rocking the greys! Re: Building the Lennox with Celebration Homes 14Feb 13, 2016 5:03 pm nelleebellee I like the changes you have made to the plan. It's a nice looking house! Good luck with the waiting....it's almost killing me waiting for final plans. Our final plans came in on Thursday, so excited The sales consultant that we have has been so patient with us, so lucky Although we might rock the boat on Monday - I noticed that we completely forgot to add shower recesses Re: Building the Lennox with Celebration Homes 15Mar 08, 2016 12:33 pm New pics!

The slab was poured over a week ago now so surely it can't be long until the bricks arrive? Re: Building the Lennox with Celebration Homes 17Mar 08, 2016 8:19 pm Looking good! I am also building with Celebrations and my bricks arrived last Friday, two weeks after the slab went down. I am hoping they will start the brickwork this week.

It looks very smooth. Hopefully bricks will be soon. Our brickwork started in earnest today. Can't wait to see the rooms. Thanks so much I know what you mean, it's hard to imagine them until you see the brick walls. Re: Building the Lennox with Celebration Homes 19Mar 08, 2016 9:14 pm oduen Looking good!
