Froggies build - I'm kinda back, some pics pg 78

Frogger · Nov 07, 2009 12:40 pm

Well I thought I would start up a thread for my build.
My contracts are done, so are my colours, variations are done, plans were signed off on 26 days ago and I'm waiting...waiting...waiting

The day the plans came back signed I was told I'd have a slab within the 3 weeks...ummmmm thats gone now

Gawd I hate waiting!! lol
I won't be mentioning who I'm building with...but if you knew me before I changed my forum name, you'd know who it is - I think

I'm just finalising my splashback colour and 1 render colour and when I've done that (hopefully by Sunday night) I'll throw up all my colours and plan again

Hopefully I'll have more progress to report on very very soon!

How about re-posting your floor plan as well, Frogger - I always think they help others follow the building threads.

Especially for those posters who may not recognise you by your new user name :wink:

Ensuite

Floor tiles may change slightly. Some question over whether or not the tiler will charge me more because they are 'glazed porcelain' not full ceramic!!! Even though they are cut and laid the same way!!

Carpet, I'm hoping will be a softish beige colour. I don't chose this until lockup.

Oven - Ariston 90cm cooker

Thanks Magic

Does the rangehood look good??? I haven't actually seen one in the flesh yet, just in the catalogue

I'm hoping I can afford to keep my ensuite feature tiles...they are a bit expensive and I still have no clue how much they will charge to lay them

Good luck for your build!!! ::lol::

Hope it starts soon.

Good colour selections!!

Jess09

Whoops!!! You just beat me in posting LOL

CONGRATULATIONS ON A SITE START DATE!!!

So exciting :z:

Thats only 8 days away!!

I'm loving your render colour too!! Gorgous deep purple ::lol::

Frogger · Nov 12, 2009 6:16 pm

We must have been posting at the same time! lol
Tell me about it!!! lol I will give them one thing, they are very thorough!! But..they don't multitask, which makes it slooooooower!!!
I have chewed down every finger nail waiting lol

Thanks

Do you think the grey for the window walls will look o.k?
I love the blue for the splashback, just hope it looks good

Jodie80 · Nov 12, 2009 6:19 pm

I think it all goes really well together!! I don't think you have anything to worry about

You've chosen great colour choices (even the splashback... blue is my fav colour and that i think will look fantastic!!!)

Your front render will be stunning tho, as the purple will *pop* next to the lighter grey. Love it!!

Frogger · Nov 12, 2009 6:24 pm

phew cool thanks so much

*sigh of relief* lol
I just love the purple too!!!
I changed my interior colour today to...now having wattyl Flokati.
