Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 20, 2010 8:08 pm Hi all, We are building a S!imonds Home in Harrison's Rise, hopefully in September 2010. We are trying to get the house built while living in Townsville! My wife hasn't even been to Doreen! She hasn't seen the display homes, we are doing this all blindly! Crazy i know. We are moving down to Victoria in late 2010 and hope to move in as soon as possible. We are building the Atherton 2500 with a few mods to meet the estate covernants, (extended garage and extra Alfresco). http://www.flickr.com/photos/48544911@N05/4447619736/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/48544911@N05/4447620492/ We would also like to know if anyone has any photos of this house with the Cosmopolitan Facade. We are originally from Victoria and looking forward to coming home! Stu and Sam Re: We are building in Harrisons Rise Laurimar 2Mar 20, 2010 10:45 pm Hey Guys, Welcome to the neighbourhood!!!!

Stu and Sam Hi Stu and Sam - we are also building the Atherton with SImonds, we modified the 2300 version so its closer to 35 sq now anyway. Check out my thread if you like, we are almost finished, about 4-5weeks to go. yellowdieselgolf also built an Atherton not long ago (2300 I think) but he has the Cosmopolitan facade, it looks awesome!! Go check out their posts and you will see the compelted product :0 Good luck! Caz Caz & Co ALL MOVED IN!! Now comes all the hard work-decorating....

Busy times for us, and luckily for us the builders have been busy too. We had the site scrape in August and it has been full steam ahead since then. http://www.flickr.com/photos/48544911@N05/5228525488/ They quickly poured the slab. http://www.flickr.com/photos/48544911@N05/5228525490/ Then the frame.... http://www.flickr.com/photos/48544911@N05/5228525494/ and tiles...

Looking forward to moving in soon, maybe early in the new year!

Inside has been painted and plumbing done, just waiting on electrical, flooring, and some shower screens. Its amazing how big the house is without anything in it!
