Hopefully Henley will handover the house in the next few weeks . We have very great building experiences with our SS and Admin staff. PS: Anyone is my neighbour??? I saw 4 Henley houses build around my place Re: Building Lexington with Henley Started last week of August 9Sep 08, 2009 2:11 pm Hi Sikander, Where are you building.. I would love to see some pics.. Will be interesting to see you progress. Have they given you an estimated finish time? Re: Building Lexington with Henley Started last week of August 10Sep 08, 2009 2:16 pm Welcome! Nice of you to share your experience with us all The lexington is just lovely... Can't wait to see your pics! Best of luck with the build Re: Building Lexington with Henley Started last week of August 11Sep 08, 2009 3:16 pm superbadz1 your house is looking good on your blog but you stopped posting photos in may. Any updated ones available? okay Felistopher...what's your trick. We were originally looking at the Voyager and I wanted to add linen cupboards exactly where you have them on the back of the kids retreat but they told me we couldn't! Did you have a big fight to get them? Did they charge you through the roof? Re: Building Lexington with Henley Started last week of August 12Sep 08, 2009 4:51 pm Hey Ari! Our initial consultant at Mernda was Bec R and she was fab. She was recomended to us by my brother (building the Charleton in the Ridge). I commented that most homes only have a single linen cupboard and this was the worst idea since ashtrays on motorbikes and she said, "well actually, your brother's friend's parents are also building the Voyager in the Ridge and they have cupboards here..." Only $800!! Bit of a bargain, and necessary cos the laundry is small in the Voyager (needed space for kitty tray). Glad you have similar taste to us Re: Building Lexington with Henley Started last week of August 13Sep 08, 2009 6:04 pm ah....we had the same consultant at Mernda (also referred to us by my brother haha). However when we were looking at the Voyager we were dealing with the Craigieburn office. Re: Building Lexington with Henley Started last week of August 14Sep 08, 2009 7:54 pm Small world! Yeah we went to Crazyburn to check out the display home and fell in lurve with it too. But we liked Bec so we did all the sign up paperwork with her. Congrats on your Monterey That's our equal second favourite Henley home (it's a tie with the Lexington- I'd love to able to do cartwheels in my ensuite!! ) and funnily enough there is a Monterey about to start next door to us. Actually, it would be good to start a thread with 'what did you ALMOST sign up to build?' wouldn't it.... PS I'm with Ari, any more progress shots of your Lexington???!

Will be interesting to see you progress. Have they given you an estimated finish time? hi. thanks for reply. we are building in craigieburn. they r going really fast but havent given any finish date. and also i need help in uploading images. thanks Re: Building Lexington with Henley Started last week of August 17Sep 09, 2009 7:55 am sikander also i need help in uploading images. thanks Re: Building Lexington with Henley Started last week of August 18Sep 09, 2009 8:44 am I agree with Erin, photobucket is the way to go sikander (she helped me!). Give it a try, it's pretty usable. Ari, we are kindred Henley personalities We are getting the Mink facade, face brick finish (no render). There are four Voyagers in our suburb and all have the Reilly facade, so it'll be nice to have something a little different Rumour has it there's a dirty big diggere sitting on our block, so I'm going out there today to check if we've been cut! Re: Building Lexington with Henley Started last week of August 19Sep 09, 2009 4:19 pm Hi Sikander, What was your start date & where are you up now? Have you had any problems along the way?
