I like how you extended your concrete down the side to the laundry (wish I had done the same) was that extra? I think you better start packing!

The front of your house is looking amazing and I am loving your colour choices. I can't wait to see the flooring finished inside, it will be nice to see it all complete. Are you happy with your choices? What colour render did you go for in the portico? Re: Wisdom Aspiration 35 @ The Ponds 223Sep 21, 2009 8:12 am awesome stuff, MKTodd! you guys must be ecstatic! not long to go now for you guys! Re: Wisdom Aspiration 35 @ The Ponds 224Sep 21, 2009 5:58 pm Jochicho- the extra concreting did cost us more princessfee- yeah we are really happy with colours. The Front portico colour is greenstead. Got a call from SS, told they had done more painting on the outside doors (pics are on blog). Driveway will be laid on Thursday and expecting carpet to go down Tuesday next week. Then will have a final inspection before handover is organised. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Building the Aspiration 35MKII with Wisdom ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://pondsaspiration.blogspot.com/ Re: Wisdom Aspiration 35 @ The Ponds 225Sep 21, 2009 7:03 pm Ooooh!

Re: Wisdom Aspiration 35 @ The Ponds 232Sep 25, 2009 8:46 pm All the concrete was laid for driveway, side access and alfresco today.. very happy! We went in for a sticky beak, still bit of fixing up needed with the paint work. The concrete guys said they probably wont start tiling inside till Monday now so the concrete can settle over the weekend.. so maybe another two weeks.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Building the Aspiration 35MKII with Wisdom ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://pondsaspiration.blogspot.com/ Re: Wisdom Aspiration 35 @ The Ponds 233Sep 28, 2009 3:05 pm Sorry our computer kicked the bucket on the weekend, so haven't been able to upload any pics. Should have it back today. My mother went by today and said they had pretty much laid all the tiles in the main living areas! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Building the Aspiration 35MKII with Wisdom ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://pondsaspiration.blogspot.com/ Re: Wisdom Aspiration 35 @ The Ponds 234Sep 28, 2009 3:19 pm yay! can't wait to see the pics After 4 years - we're in! Re: Wisdom Aspiration 35 @ The Ponds 235Sep 28, 2009 3:21 pm MKTodd My mother went by today and said they had pretty much laid all the tiles in the main living areas! I'd hope so, our tilers are supposed to start tomorrow and I have a funny feeling they're the ones at your house today How's the anxiety going?

Re: Wisdom Aspiration 35 @ The Ponds 237Sep 29, 2009 12:27 pm Also forgot yesterday the carpenter installed the melamite pantry shelves. This morning the cleaners were busy at work.. still haven't heard anything about a walk through or hand over and all they have left is the carpet! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Building the Aspiration 35MKII with Wisdom ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://pondsaspiration.blogspot.com/ Re: Wisdom Aspiration 35 @ The Ponds 238Sep 29, 2009 12:34 pm All they have left is carpet and we dont get any new pics???? jk - that is absolutely fantastic guys - you are so incredibly close I am sure you will have your walk through soon. Looking forward to seeing the final product Re: Wisdom Aspiration 35 @ The Ponds 239Sep 29, 2009 3:19 pm Haven't be in yet, tilers wouldnt let us in. So only got some pics of the driveway which ill try get on tonight provided home computer doesn't play games. The Tilers actually closed doors on us! Excitement has turned to frustrating. Spoke to SS, won't be a hand over any time soon.. they want to do a walk through in the next week. Then organise invoice and fix issues, then hand over after that.. no date yet.. frustrating when others seem to get there keys within days of carpet going down.. not to mention we highly stressed from living with parents! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Building the Aspiration 35MKII with Wisdom ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://pondsaspiration.blogspot.com/ Re: Wisdom Aspiration 35 @ The Ponds 240Sep 29, 2009 3:27 pm MKTodd Haven't be in yet, tilers wouldnt let us in.

Sorry to hear about the lack of communication regarding the handover - hopefully you won't have many issues noted during the walk through and you can have hand over shortly after.
