How are you settling in? by the looks of it, you are getting heaps of unpacking done. Can't wait to see more pics soon. Re: Wisdom Impression 38MK II - We are in!!!! 133Aug 03, 2009 1:19 pm Thanks hills_builder, Heathen, princessfee & 1sttimer, it has been a huge weekend, the house felt like ours on Friday which was funny as I thought that it would take a lot longer. I am loving the shower, at the rental I spent all my time trying to get the water temperature right, in our one you just pull out the handle & hey presto it's the right temperature. It's fantastic & the space is great we have been used to a really small 3 bedroom house so it is great to have heaps of room. Heathen one of our customers put the stairs in for us, the wire's & fitting are all our gear but they installed it as well. We love that outdoor area it will be really good for a bbq in summer. I really like the look of timber with stainless I think that they contrast each other really well. Also I forgot to tell our story of what happened on Friday afternoon, my husband & youngest son were coming back to the house with a load of stuff & a lady stops & starts talking to my husband. My son comes in & says that I am needed outside so out I go & the lady is asking do we want to sell the house????? I am thinking are you for real!!!! we have only had it for 7 hours & you are asking do we want to sell it!!!! I think that my kids & husband would have left me if I had said yes, we hadn't even moved in. As much as I would like to do it again on the day that we had handover was probably not the right day. Anyway we have settled in really well & this morning we discovered that from one of the kids bedrooms you can see Centrepoint tower, that is if you stand on their bed & peer through the trees that are out the back. Last night we could see all the lights & we thought that it may have been the city, there are some other buildings that you can see as well but not sure what they are.

Re: Wisdom Impression 38MK II - We are in!!!! 137Aug 05, 2009 5:39 pm princessfee Hey Danma, is your microwave the LG convection microwave? Where did you get it? Sorry I haven't been on the internet as we don't have it at home as yet & I haven't really been in at work. Yes it is a LG SolarDOM convection microwave, it also has the trim kit around it as well. It is a lot wider than a normal microwave so yo do loose a bit of bench top & the cupboard has to be made deeper. It came from Winnings Appliances, I brought it 1 year ago for the Clarendon build so Winnings have had it in their store for that long. I am still learning with it, but one problem is if you just have something small in it & it stops at the back then I have to get my trusty stool out to get it out......That's the problem with being in the shorties club....

The only thing wrong is that we do not have enough pics of the finished thing! We are loving being in here, everything is still in a bit of a mess but we are getting there. So some more pics for your viewing....... Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The other chairs are due to be delivered tomorrow. The picture I think will be ok in the niche, but I am just looking at it for a while cause it should run length ways. Not sure if it will annoy me.

Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ There has been some talk about a gap around the window in some of the builds at the moment, we also had a gap it is on the left hand side of the left window. You can see that the aluminium strip is wider on that side, it is not noticeable at all. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ And lastly this is our old lounge from the house that we sold nearly 2 years ago. We are going to keep it for a little while as we have some other things to spend our money on........ It's pretty horrible but you can't see it from anywhere in the house unless you are in the room it's in. The other thing is that is good for the kids to lie around on & not worry about doing anything to it.....

You can see that the aluminium strip is wider on that side, it is not noticeable at all. They have done that with one of our windows and even with our bifold window in the kitchen that Mark installed. It happends when the brickies don't line the bricks up flush with the aluminium part of the window. Mark was a little p!$$ed about it cos it will look uneven -and cos he is in the trade it would bother him, doesn't bother me though - and he didn't want to look at it for the next 30 years. He sat there for ages afterwards working it out in his mind and has decided to move the window to the centre of the space and place an aluminium strip on either side of the bifold. The other window can stay as it is. It won't be noticed as much over there.
