Re: Malvern Springs by Aga and Bob - we getting the keys!!! 486Feb 25, 2011 2:48 pm I went looking at theatre sets last night. DH has to decide leather or microfibre - he's a sweaty sort. I bought my dishwasher, so I guess its fair for him to have somewhere to sit. I also have my mind set on some bar stools. I'm going to get my keys now!!!! Hopefully we can come tomorrow arvo and get some paint ideas from you. Re: Malvern Springs by Aga and Bob - we getting the keys!!! 487Feb 25, 2011 5:19 pm So you getting the keys today?

Re: Malvern Springs by Aga and Bob - we getting the keys!!! 489Feb 26, 2011 2:25 pm For all interested - sealing a paving was a breeze. Took me about 30 min in total. Cleaning the sand from the area was completely different story After 20 min of sweeping I managed to clear about 3m and even that it was 11pm I thought I will die from the heat. My son had to finish it off. So alfresco all done - I'm hoping to do the driveway tonight Are you coming Cristy?

Re: Malvern Springs by Aga and Bob - we getting the keys!!! 490Feb 26, 2011 2:57 pm I bet your place is looking great Aga ! Photos ? I went to Ikea a couple of weeks ago...and I wanted to buy a heap of flat pack furniture like desks and bookshelves...there was wayy too many ppl there and it was soo hot in there I only bought a bag of stuff and left, no furniture. Now i looked on the website when I got home and saw heaps of stuff that I liked, should've given it more effort when I was there Was horrible on saturday morning tho, everyone had the same idea as me. I went into the discount corner too but wasn't much there when I went! I will have to have another look on a week day before we move. Are you having a house warming party tonight? Are you going to paint the garage floor? I want to but DP thinks its stupid The road to success is always under construction House completed April 2011 - slowly making it a home... Re: Malvern Springs by Aga and Bob - we getting the keys!!! 491Feb 26, 2011 6:03 pm I need to find my camera as my phone is not taking good pictures inside. I'm quite happy with how it all came together. My living area is all pure white except sofa and some red highlights and it makes the place look much bigger and so clean. The theater grey/orange came great together and is such a contrast to the living area being very warm and inviting, especially after I got the new lamps. I will have house warming party when we finally drag all the rest of the furniture from the old place, so probably another week or so. Do you mean paint the floor different color or seal? I know I will be sealing mine so it stays nice and clean forever When are you coming up to Perth? contract 10/11 prestart 04/10 slab 06/10 bricks 07/10 roof 09/10 plaster 10/10 Ceiling 10/10 LOCKUP 10/10 tiling wet areas 11/10 garage floor 11/10 PCI 12.01.11 handover 11.02.11 https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=39361&hilit=malvern+springs We are in !!!
