Browse Forums Building A New House Re: BUILDING update 384Jul 28, 2008 2:30 am Jo K 2 weeks is very exciting Everything looks so nice Dy, can't wait to see more photo's What CS benchtop did you choose..... Just reading back over the thread to see where I got up to and saw I missed your post Jo. So sorry. We have chosen nova aurora benchtops for the kitchen and ginger for the bathrooms. I peeked in over the weekend and saw that damn manhole. Told DH that it has to be moved ... it will annoy me and therefore annoy everyone else (particularly my DH who has to listen to me look up at it). It's funny but after being married for 20 years he says that even when I don't say anything, my silence speaks volumes . Painting was supposed to be finished tomorrow but that is highly unlikely. Still don't know what's happening with the dble shower but we should find out this week. I might pop over to the house tomorrow during the day and give them a surprise visit . Tradies just love that! A lot should be happening this week so we'll see how it goes.

Love it all - what about Murray Red around the fireplace? Since you didn't get to use it on your splashback I love your daughters bathroom, I love how the floor tiles go around the bath, am wondering if I should have asked to do this with mine now..... Well done My karma ran over your dogma Re: BUILDING update 390Jul 28, 2008 10:41 pm haywgl I love how the floor tiles go around the bath, am wondering if I should have asked to do this with mine now..... BEL!!!!! I'm gonna ban you from here! Never mind your DH!!! You're hilarious! I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: BUILDING update 391Jul 28, 2008 10:41 pm Dy,
What a lovely house you'll have! Love the external colours! And reeaallllyyyy love your balcony tiles! Your DD is so lucky to have her own bathroom! Can't wait to see the finished house! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping!

I'm gonna ban you from here! Never mind your DH!!! You're hilarious! Re: BUILDING update 394Jul 28, 2008 10:56 pm I'm just as bad as you are Bel. Keep making changes ... its entertaining Re: BUILDING update 395Jul 28, 2008 10:58 pm DeeElle joles haywgl I love how the floor tiles go around the bath, am wondering if I should have asked to do this with mine now..... BEL!!!!! I'm gonna ban you from here! Never mind your DH!!! You're hilarious! Just because Bel keeps changing her mind about everything!! I love the floor tiles to extend to the bath as well. Ours will come up over the bath and across the hob in both the bathroom and the ensuite. Looks great! But so great that Bel's gonna end up wanting to change her tiles!!! Jo I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: BUILDING update 398Jul 29, 2008 10:25 am lol
I have absolutely no idea what to do with either the fireplace or the glass splash. I'm worse than Bel! I'm going to wait until the floors are in before making a final decision. I didn't realise how much GREY / beige there is in the house. Re: BUILDING update 399Aug 08, 2008 1:14 am Our floors are being installed (I love those babies) and handover is set for a week on Monday (18th). Paving is also starting early next week and we have organised someone to lay the deck as my DH is not handy and wants to rest on his holidays as opposed to banging it out with my DD .
Fencing should also be up next week so we only have carpets to go before we are in. The builder is letting us do our bits to the place such as floors and external landscaping prior to handover which is nice. The house itself has some final touches to be done but all in all we look like we are heading for handover soon. Oh yeah and from what I understand they are moving the manhole . Well they'd better ... there is no way I am living with a manhole for a feature in the dining room . go upvc window frames ensure insulation under colorbond. not just sarking, lighter color roof also not sure if you have seen this viewtopic.php?t=5823 last couple of pages… 4 110571 Even if it's not being sub-divided and you want to keep it as Torrens title, you will still need to talk to a town planner or Council themselves, to see if they will allow… 1 11035 |
