Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Bugger me, another Coral Hamilton 278 - hmmmmm 161Oct 13, 2009 11:45 am Thanks Renee. We were actually getting really excited about them both when it was looking as though we'd get the house before bubs. But now with them so close together........it just sounds like a whole lot of work!!! New house, second new born, 1st toddler......with Christmas around the corner. Ah well, I guess I won't have an issue getting to sleep at night. Re: Bugger me, another Coral Hamilton 278 - Consider me buggered 162Oct 15, 2009 5:28 pm The tiler did start Tuesday.......but he hasn't left. Not sure why the change in plan, but we are stoked none the less. They also did a site clean yesterday. So why am I buggered: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_P2NK0GJlSdI/StbM9s55IiI/AAAAAAAAAFc/smjuerlwIPg/s1600-h/DSC04362.jpg .......why, because I think it's starting to look pretty cool.

All the best Harribeka Re: Bugger me, another Coral Hamilton 278 - Consider me buggered 167Oct 15, 2009 6:25 pm Ooooh! I love your kitchen, it is going to be very similar to ours. You must be very pleased with your choices so far, well done. Re: Bugger me, another Coral Hamilton 278 - Consider me buggered 168Oct 15, 2009 7:04 pm Your kitchen looks terrific - and your wall color looks just like we have been looking for too so its back thru your thread to find the colors! Looking really really good & I love the opening windows (I think I have a thing for windows in the kitchen ) Re: Bugger me, another Coral Hamilton 278 - Consider me buggered 169Oct 15, 2009 7:51 pm WOW LC!!! It is looking awesome. What a difference some paint and floor tiles make to the overall effect? Hopefully, maybe, possibly, fingers crossed, but you never know you could actually be in before bub#2. P.S. What is your wall colour please? Re: Bugger me, another Coral Hamilton 278 - Consider me buggered 170Oct 15, 2009 8:27 pm Just gorgeous, it looks amazing It's come together really nicely. Re: Bugger me, another Coral Hamilton 278 - Consider me buggered 171Oct 15, 2009 8:37 pm YOur kitchen looks gorgeous!! Can i ask a question, does the fossil look very green in real life? I have a 15x15 sample here which i like but im not sure about the green tinge. It may look different in a big amount though? I just love the look of it in your kitchen!! Re: Bugger me, another Coral Hamilton 278 - Consider me buggered 172Oct 15, 2009 10:23 pm wow LC!!!! You scared the cr@p out of me when i read your thread title i was wondering the bubba had come already... everything is looking gorgeous - very swish! 2014 - Prepping to build the Soho 4 with Plantation homes, industrial style 2009 - Built the Brampton with Coral Homes viewtopic.php?f=31&t=15399&start=280 Re: Bugger me, another Coral Hamilton 278 - Consider me buggered 173Oct 16, 2009 7:52 am Sorry Jess - in hindsight it probably did have that note about it.......despite the fact I meant it in a "well, I'll be buggered" sort of way........and I'll thank you never to say the words "Bubba" and "already" in the same sentence again!!! all the sand does the fossil look very green in real life Um - I can't see the green tinge. Mind you, if you were to ask some of the ladies on here (not to mention my wife) they will suggest that I'm a tad colour blind....... walker79 P.S. What is your wall colour please? Russian Toffee Renee. There's a very good chance that we were hungry when we did our colours.......walls are Russian Toffee, Render is Rich Biscuit, Roof is Barramundi, Fascia/Windows/Garage Door are Smooth Cream!!! Thanks all for the comments. I'll try & post some more pics once the tiling is finished.

Re: Bugger me, another Coral Hamilton 278 - Consider me buggered 176Oct 23, 2009 10:56 pm Looking good, the front entry looks fantastic. Simple but effective So when is PCI scheduled ?? Re: Bugger me, another Coral Hamilton 278 - Consider me buggered 177Oct 27, 2009 1:05 pm Thanks Rebekah. We couldn't find a feature tile we liked to match the floor tile, so we thought we'd just lay the normal tile differently. We're very happy with it. So PCI was today. We are actually very happy. A few issues, mainly with the render job, but also the paint work and some other bits & pieces. But the SS was very accomodating and both he & his boss were also unhappy with the renderer. So yeah, alls still on track for a 6 november hand over.
