Re: Building our 2nd house :) - House is Locked up :) 205Sep 28, 2011 5:12 pm Hi dshah, well the site cut was done in may if i remember and hopefully it will be done in 6 weeks as we are getting evicted out of the rental when the lease is up for no reason. They are currently painting the house now and i have had a look and it looks really good. Lucky i got out there earlier today and had a quick look before the storms come thru. We first built with macquarie homes over 6 years ago and didnt have any problems with them.. Our current house we are building is a dennis family design but has heaps of changes and thru a small builder. Its probably dearer but this builder includes shelves in the robes to bedrooms and downlights as they would be extras going thru the bigger builders. Have you found a plan that you like yet1?

Yes- extremely lucky - the storms looked really bad to me when I saw them from the window ( from work). Yes i did like a plan with one of the 'project' builders in bendigo (the website wont allow me to write the name of theirs.. probably u can guess it .. starts with M) and went ahead with everything only to find out that it would blow up my budget significantly. hehe.. so I am on the hunt again.. Settlement on the land is gonna happen hopefully in the next 3weeks i suppose. See how it goes.. I am after a really small one - perhaps 22sq all up.. as i have a tight budget... see how it goes..

WORLD CONCEPT HOMES Our build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=44725 Re: Building our 2nd house :) - House is Locked up :) 210Oct 04, 2011 12:37 pm Ashkate we have downlights in our meals, kitchen and family area so i dont have to worry about them.. although i have seen a few nice lights.. We can always change them later on i suppose. We have to get a fitting for the portico but we can do that later on. The main ones i want to find are the bedroom and study ones... not sure if i will have a Study light in the study or same as bedrooms as we can later on if needed use it as a bedroom. The only thing i would like is to see the light fittings with the light on and see how much light they throw... as some i noticed dont let much light out.

One pitfall of buying them on the internet. Not to mention the ones that throw crazy shadows that would give me a headache permanently! Love those skinny powerpoints on the island, did you have to upgrade them? Looks like everything is coming together fast at your place!

We have little less than 5 weeks in this house so fingers crossed he gets it finished and occupancy certificate done within this time.

Thats awesome.. Cant wait to be at that stage! Good point about some pendants not letting a lot of light out.. We were talked out of having a powerpoint on the island bench as they would have to use a mounting plate and it would stick out and be really ugly..

Then hubby calls and tells me the tiler will be there tomorrow so it will be nice to see some tiles on the ground and see how the house looks with paint and tiles. I think the builder is organising the splashback too and the rangehood hasnt been put in yet. We might be right for another 4 weeks see how long it takes to get the occupancy certificate i suppose.
