As you can see the main changes we made were adding a wall in the pantry and extending the main bedroom, outdoor room and dinning room. http://photobucket.com/penny77 Forum thread viewtopic.php?f=31&t=22300 Re: Chelsea 33 with M3tr!con 8Aug 24, 2009 9:42 am Hi Penny! Congrats on your site start - how exciting!! When do you expect to have it all finished by? Absolutely love the floorplan! (I wish I could switch from the Santorini to the Chelsea - it'd be absolutely perfect for us. Maybe next time ) I love how the leisure room is tucked up next to the bedrooms, and your extensions will be great. Colours sound great too. Good luck with it all - can't wait to watch your home go up. We're home!!!

Hi penny , what's your building time in your contract?thanks Re: Chelsea 33 with M3tr!con 12Aug 28, 2009 10:24 pm We have 269 days in our contract. Friends built with M in Ocean Grove and it only took them 5 mths but because of Xmas I don't think we will be in until Feb, but you never know.

Friends built with M in Ocean Grove and it only took them 5 mths but because of Xmas I don't think we will be in until Feb, but you never know. You never know!
