Thanks Cooped.

I really like your plan. Love the robes in the main bedroom. huge family room.

Very nice frame. Congratulations on progress. Hopefully they'll have done something else soon.

I too am loving the main bedroom robes.. Am looking at some pendant lights to make it a little glam!

I am trying to find our contact guy/gal at Hickinbotham who is looking after us to ask the same questions as you 'what's happening next'. I would love to know when our roof will be on!

carlswil · Sep 02, 2010 3:23 pm

I just email liaison@hickinbotham.com.au and someone usually gets back to me. As far as I know, we don't have a specific contact.

Cooped07 · Sep 02, 2010 3:24 pm

Awesome... thanks heaps! I too might bug them. ::lol::

carlswil · Sep 02, 2010 3:26 pm

No worries. I find it reduces my frustration, having some idea when things will happen. It sure beats going there expecting that they will have done something, and finding that they haven't. Now I know not to expect anything until next week.

Went down to see our house today after staying away for a day & we have a couple of rows of bricks.. YAY! They must have done that thursday afternoon as yesterday was Yukky! Will post some pics when I get on the other computer! Excited..

carlswil · Sep 04, 2010 8:26 pm

Congrats on bricks. Once this weather clears up, you should get heaps more done. They're not wasting too much time

Anyway now that I have found you I can follow your journey ::lol::

please don't forget this thread :n:

Cooped07 · Sep 08, 2010 2:16 pm

Hi Lucene

Thanks, the Preston won our hearts straight away. With 2 kids we need the room & the storage. We only just visited the display house Sunday just gone - fell in love over again...
I must say I have been to your thread a couple of times. I love the downlights you have put in. I certainly wish we had put more in - ohwell, maybe later! I also love the open flow through the kitchen/dining/lounge!

Hope you get some progress on Friday xx
