Just love your alfresco wish it was mine. Dont think I am going to like lock up. I like to keep a close eye on what is going on and dont know how i will cope once I cant see everything other than what I can see through a window Re: Building the Fitzroy - Lock-up! 45Aug 02, 2011 8:10 pm dimo love your alfresco wish it was mine. I am glad that we extended the alfresco. Met up with SS and was able to see all our newly installed cabnits. Very happy with how they look Here is the kitchen. Apologies for poor quality phone pics. Looks better in person but you get the idea.

Your kitchen is a similar layout to ours. Building the Fitzroy - Walk through? 48Aug 04, 2011 9:17 am I know I'm asking a lot here but hoping someone here who has built the Fitzroy or in the process at least could offer my Wife and I a walk through? We're in Sydney at the moment, looking at building in Alpine region Victoria. Having a hard time choosing what house to build, Fitzroy seems to tick most of the boxes but would love to see one in person before laying down our hard earned. PM me if possible? Cheers Dennis Re: Building the Fitzroy - Kitchen cabinets in! 49Aug 04, 2011 8:07 pm Tamara1975 Your kitchen is a similar layout to ours. I've been checking out your pics and the layout of our kitchens is very similar. Your splashback is looking great. Looking forward to seeing for pics.

On the outside the eves are done and the bricks have been cleaned (photo taken prior to brick cleaning) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ On the inside the fixing stage in completed. The painters start on Monday. We have been told by SS that house is due to be completed during October. So looking forward to being in our own house again instead of a rental. I guess this means I should start some packing.

Tiles were all laid over 2 days. Haven't been able to see ensuite yet and bathroom photos taken from outside window. Have found out from our original sales consultant that someone else has signed up to build our exact same modified floor plan (after having a walk through of our house). It makes me happy to know that someone else also liked the changes we made to the original plan enough to build it themselves.
