We'll probably use 50mm to the facade and 76mm to the rest of the house, all with flush white mortar, it's an expensive brick upgrade but looks brilliant!
cotbfamily: homestead tan i love, but unfortunately it doesn't come in 50mm, so that's why we may go with hawthorn
And other big news for today? We went to meet our fantastic CSC this afternoon to go through the Preliminary Contract and Variations, and now it's all signed and further deposit paid, we've settled all our structural changes! These are the main changes:
- 2700mm ground floor ceilings, 2550 first floor ceilings and 2340 doors everywhere including a bunch of extra doors closing off the study, gallery, ensuite.
- Revised powder room layout: WC and vanity in one room.
- Revised laundry layout: big walk-in linen and moved door opening, bonus of now having a massive fridge recess for a fridge and 2 wine fridges
- Revised ensuite: swapped toilet & shower, now we have a huge shower!
- Brickwork infills, 600mm eaves, fancy cantilevered staircase, horizontal feature window to wall of sitting room, window kitchen splashback, centred rumpus rear window, fridge water point, extra external taps, rear garage roller door
Also contacted Jemena/United Energy this morning regarding the power pit. Single phase is about $800 and triple phase $900, so we'll just go for the big bad boy up front. Plus maybe another $400 in longer cabling cost? Has anyone ever put in a power pit, as on the application form it says we need to name a Registered Electrical Contractor - I thought United Energy handled all of that? Can anyone add any info on sorting through this paperwork?
Also hoping to have our demolition permit & "Building Over Easement" application results in the next 2-3 weeks. Looks like we'll need to start organising disconnections of gas, phone and electricity, as it's possible we may have a November start date!
