Question is, do you think it'd go with my colours, laminex squareform blanc stone? Just checked your colours again PB-I think it would go because you have brown flecks in your laminex!

Oh also, I popped into Bunnings and had a squiz at the Dulux metallic swatches with you in mind - all I can say is WOW they look so great! Any headway on the splashback colour? Re: The Manor with Ventura WA-Painting DONE! Timber 2MORO!!! 288Apr 18, 2010 1:17 pm hey starbabe How is your floor going? Are they doing the timber direct stick on to the concrete, or putting plywood down first?

My build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=24970 Re: The Manor with Ventura WA-Painting DONE! Timber 2MORO!!! 294Apr 20, 2010 8:30 pm Well its all systems go at our place at the moment! The flooring guys will finish laying the timber tomorrow and will be back next week (not until Weds though ) to start the sanding and polishing. That will take about another 5 days so they should be finished Tues May 4th! So far so good, they have done a lovely neat job of the laying! They have made a few marks on the walls, but we will just have to patch them up when they are finished. Because of this we will now have to push the carpet back to the 6th as the floor needs a few days to rest. Today the bobcat arrived to excavate the sand for our exposed aggregate which is being poured for our driveway and portico tomorrow! We have chosen a mix called "wattle"which is light in colour with brown/grey/orange stones. We are also getting him to remove the excess soil ready for the landscapers to lay the turf in a few weeks. And we have heard from our neighbours who are yet to build next door. We sent them a "notice to fence" and they got back to us to say that the estate will pay their cost of the dividing fence. We also found out that they are also building with Ventura!!!!! They should go to site in a couple of months. We now have 12 houses on the street but no one has built with the same builder until now!!!! We are still hoping to move in on the weekend of the 8th/9th *fingers crossed* NOT LONG TO GO NOW!!!!!!!!!! ITS GETTING EXCITING AGAIN-WE CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!

I'd love to see your aggregate when it's done! Maybe some pics tomorrow V-unfortunately NO driveway was poured today !!!! They did all the formwork but will be back tomorrow (hopefully-I don't think it can be poured in the rain can it????? )I'm not a massive fan of the guy whos doing it- he's a bit pushy!! Let's hope he does a good job though! And....the flooring guys didn't finish laying the timber today either - there is still a little bit more to do in the activity room. Let's hope they are back to finish tomorrow as well!!!! Vundaful! Awesome news all around!

My build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=24970 Re: The Manor with Ventura WA-We will have a driveway tomorr 299Apr 21, 2010 8:00 pm From what I gather from Onc, you can't pour concrete when it's raining cats and dogs, but a light drizzle actually helps the concrete set better, with less chance of cracking As for moving, this weekend we'll be over at the new house doing stormwater pipes and a few other things (long weeken, woohoo!), so I'll be taking some stuff over to help reduce the amount to take on 'Moving Day'. Our laminate hasn't come in yet so looks like we'll be waiting until at least the weekend after this to move.
