What is the name of the brick - and is it a red or a brown, or a reddy brown? They look so good! Also are your floors hardwood or a hardwood floating floor (think that is what they are called!) Report this post Thanks for the kind words. The brick is an Austral Homestead Tan. It's dark brown with a black fleck through it.

We moved in over the weekend, and have settled into the new home. Kid's bedrooms, our bedroom and kitchen have been unpacked. The rest of the house is still in boxes. You also cannot move in the garage There is still a few things to do such as the battens on the porch, front and courtyard pergola, and porcha and alfresco decking. That, and of course the landscaping and pool will all be done over the next couple months. THe phone and TV were put on yesterday, and Foxtel is due Saturday. Internet still a little while away This weekend I need to find myself a letterbox !

Yes it does It's bloody quiet here at the moment. I was sitting outside in the alfresco last night having a beer and reading the paper just relaxing. Obviously that will all change when the noisy neighbours move in When does your build kick off ?

Hey You don't even know us very well yet .....but well enough to know that we will be noisy!!!!! We should start in the first week of March, we've had some hiccups with changes to the floor plan and the dumping of 4 truck loads of other peoples soil onto our block that set us back!!!! Enjoy the peace while it lasts. B & M __________________________ M3tr1con Denver 32...Now 43!!! All moved in & love it!!!!

Have fun with the landscaping, dont forget to give us heaps more updates! Re: Custom home in Laurimar- moved in !! 113Feb 11, 2010 4:46 am Congratulations!! It looks fantastic. I hope to see more photos... What brand is your ironing board? I'm dying to get a built-in one in our laundry, but definitely don't want one of those naff-looking plasticky cabinets on the wall. I have room for a bank of cupboards, so something like that would be ideal. Re: Custom home in Laurimar- moved in !! 114Feb 11, 2010 8:34 am Kek, It's a Robinhood Easyiron Deluxe IC300. This is the website: http://www.robinhood.co.nz/ironings I agree with you - I didn't want one hanging off the wall either.

Congratulations on being our first resident in the Maples. Did you christen the place with champas?! I see Delfin are opening up the other side now including the building of pillars on all the blocks and I've noticed they've been in and made the place look sharp for the sale of these blocks including mowing the grass on my block and John's (next door). The green should look unreal when all of these pillars are built. It's full on in Laurimar at the moment. Everytime I drive over there, something new has been done. Ours starts in March, we should have a slab down by the end of the month hopefully. Let the fun and games begin! We don't expect to be in until the end of the year. We'll be a regular in Barrett Place soon! I'm looking forward to dropping in at some stage. Fitzy, where abouts are you building? Cheers and beers! James Building in the Maples, Laurimar.

It makes a huge difference with the blocks opening up across the park. I now drive home and no longer see a fence, but vacant land. Drop in whenever you want - I'll be home for the next 153 weekends or so unpacking, landscaping, paving, decking etc, etc Good luck with the build, I'll be keeping an eye on it Blog is now up - http://www.jbdave.blogspot.com/ Re: Custom home in Laurimar- moved in !! 120Feb 20, 2010 10:11 am awesome awesome awesome news mates love the ironing board doobilacky - I wish we had one, wouldn't work in our home design, maybe next time! also absolutely lovin those theatre doors - it really makes it awesome - def a must for us next time!!! great to see it come together for you - well done!
