Just need to find some time I guess. My front render was supposed to have been completed last week but I was told by my Administrator that they are running bit behind and the base coat will be applied this week. just want to see if the render blends well with my bricks.

The plaster pictures look exactly the same as yours. Which facade have you chosen? I have chosen Bowden and my administrator advised that they will do the front render this week as well. This was supposed to have been done two weeks back. Can't wait to see the render as it has been giving me nightmares. i will go to visit the site again this weekend asnd will let you know the progress. My wife is 8 months pregnant as well so quite a lot happening. Re: Macca's Home - Kitchen and Vanities in!!! 29May 28, 2009 9:03 am Last night was the biggest surprise! We have all our kitchen installed and all the bathroom vanities!!! WOW - what a difference it makes!! For all you H3nley folk - we ended up getting the Cucina kitchen with a sheer mesh laminate with 40mm black ceaserstone benchtops!! I will take photo's on the weekend as it's too dark by the time we get to the house after work. Our fixing carpenter starts today - bring it on!!!

I am also building with Henley (Plantat*on Homes) in brissy and also had cucina kitchen with 40mm QQ and waterfall edges on the L shaped bench. They installed the benchtop last week but without the waterfall edges so SS is organising that to be fixed What colors have you chosen for your kitchen Re: Macca's Home - Kitchen and Vanities in!!! 31May 28, 2009 9:45 am curious congrats on the Kitchen Macca.....Looking forward to the pics.

We are having Sheer Mesh as the cupboard laminte and Night Sky benchtops. Our island is a straight island and I LOVE the double width of it!!!! We chose the silver kickboards as we will be having wooden floorboards. We were a little nervous in seeing it as we were imaging the colours in our heads, but it's now all working out!!! Waa hoo! I was wondering when they put the benchtops on - is it shortly after they've done the cupboards?

We wanted 100ml, but weren't able to upgrade as it was only standard for Esprit homes. Will look amazing. I found with my build that the benchtops were one of the last items to go in the kitchen. Cheers Re: Macca's Home - Kitchen and Vanities in!!! 33May 28, 2009 10:27 am The benchtop has to be installed in the fixing stage according to our contract. I think it went in 2 weeks after the kitchen cupboards.We are very close to handover...yesterday we had all our plumbing done...baths/shower/vanities/all taps and mixers installed. Tiling and painting all done before the fit-outs were done. Also water tank delivered. Very happy with the progress so far ...btw my ktchen colors are Stipple seal cupboards with Riverstone QQ benchtop (...it does live up to its name as it resembles the stones found in the river kinda like black,brown,grey,beige stones put together) Overheads cupboards are platinum micro with light grey glass splashback. Cant wait till Saturday to see it all in daylight and take some pics ( thru windows) unless they leave a window open!!!

My fixing will commence next week, can't wait. I am going to have a look at the progress tomorrow. Did they tell you how many more weeks before handover? How many weeks can we expect. Our handover will be around the same time I guess if things progress the same way. have a fantastic weekend Re: Macca's Home - Kitchen and Vanities in!!! 36May 29, 2009 6:54 pm From one Macca to another Macca, I say it's looking FABULOUS.
