I'm predicting end of the month myself but I'm not too fussed as it will take 3 weeks for our floors to be completed and they start installation on Monday.

Better to do it right than rush it I agree Paula.. but I never thought that's how long it takes to have timber floors! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping! Re: BUILDING update 425Aug 12, 2008 8:51 pm We also had to deliver the boards a week before laying so all up its 4 weeks I guess. Solid timber floors do seem fairly time intensive.
And my holidays have been delayed ... have to go to Sydney next week for work. Yippee ... shopping  . Any shopping hints welcome (kids toys, furniture, kids clothes)  .Re: BUILDING update 427Aug 12, 2008 9:40 pm well um .... yes it is work ....
I'm just combining business with pleasure .Re: BUILDING update 428Aug 14, 2008 7:52 pm Thought I'd post some progress shots of the floors and lighting. Terrible shots as we're using DHs phone.
We've purchased three of these for our hallway.

Bel you're right it's spotted gum. After living with red flooring (Jarrah) it's nice to go brown for a change. Paula I want them to hurry up as well . Builder PROMISED me today handover will be 25/8. Floors should be finished 1st September. Move in date is the same day!
Fences and Decking start Monday, paving Wednesday. We've organised the curtains. In DD's room they're bonding Designers Guild fabric to blockout and making Romans inside the reveal. In our bedroom and family room we're going for blockout and charcoal sheers (wave system) on Silent Gliss hardware (track and rod). I preferred the modern panel glides but with all the glass was concerned about temperature control. Re: BUILDING update 435Aug 14, 2008 10:57 pm Dy,
What a beautiful light! Love it! your timber floor is divine! we are going to have the same to the upper area of the house (except the bedrooms and wet areas). I can't wait to see our house at that stage.. with the floor coverings! More photos please... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping! Re: BUILDING update 437Aug 15, 2008 1:29 pm We thought about getting a wooden floor in our place... but then I remembered what i was like as a kid, and figured my kids would be the same and that wooden floors wouldn't stand the punishment! Alan and Thuy in Melbourne Building a second time! Re: BUILDING update 438Aug 15, 2008 1:33 pm I thought about this too Toast, however, I have wooden floors in my current house and 2 pretty roudy kids and they still look great.
My mum also had a mixture of wooden floors, slate and carpet in her house when we grew up as kids and I must admit the wooden floors look the best - 15 + years on My karma ran over your dogma Re: BUILDING update 439Aug 15, 2008 1:39 pm Hey Dy, the spotted gum flooring looks great!!! Can't wait to see the finished pics!!!
The window coverings sound lovely....make sure to show us some pics when they're in.....i love the Silent Gliss product (i know you will anyway, but still had to ask!!! ).
So the count down begins!!!! 25th of August....wow, its only 10 days away!!!!!!! Re: BUILDING update 440Aug 15, 2008 4:02 pm  DeeElleWe've organised the curtains.

This is exactly what I am going to have! I love the wave tracking system with the sheers, it is such a beautiful look. I cant wait to see your photos Dee...hurry up and get them in your house
The designers guild fabric is exquisite... you have such wonderful taste. I love the idea about binding the fabric onto a roller blind. If you dont mind how much did the sheers with the wave system cost...someone told me it was quite expensive. Your whole house looks fantastic....cant wait to see everything in place.
