Love the family seating - just right for enjoying that view https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43937&start=0 Bought a block in Golden Grove - Jan 2011 Finally finished our design, Mar 2012, *yay* Signed with ADH council consent June 12 Re: Our custom build in the Barossa - Linings done!! 389Aug 11, 2011 10:56 am Thanks dct! It is looking fab - and they are the builder's chairs!!! Just took over coffee and donuts!!! Good opportunity for a bit of a chat which was nice. I asked about a 'handover timeframe' but no joy there really. The likes to use his preferred tradies and would rather wait for them to be available than choose lesser quality workers, which is great. He said that once the tiles are on, that gives him a better idea! Anyway, pretty OK with that, will just wait and see. So our roofing and gutters at the portico will be finished tomorrow. Flusher in next week, garage door and other doors delivered Monday or Tuesday next week, kitchen in from there.....

OMG you are keen - we didn't sweep up there was way too much mess - we had the messiest crew I reckon. It eventually gets cleaned up as they put down the flooring.

Re: Our custom build in the Barossa - Linings done!! 396Aug 21, 2011 10:28 am your roof looks really blue in that pic!
