Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 8942Jun 30, 2015 1:06 pm Was at the site today and it's really looking great. All the brickwork looks amazing and can see where the missing bricks will be. They've already got the gutter and fascia on and I am happy with the colour of everything so far. Spoke to ss as well and he was genuinely understanding of the invoice confusion. He said it's normal for to go like that so there are no delays between stages and it's extremely unlikely that the lender will baulk at it even if they drove past, which is even more unlikely. So we'll sign our invoice and send to broker this afternoon.

I am not sure if this is me replying or not, we are currently building in Avalon and SC is our site supervisor too Who's building with Clarendon?? 8945Jun 30, 2015 4:50 pm We were pretty happy with everything up until about 2 weeks ago when we finally got fed up with not having a roof for so long. We have been through so much rain, Sydney storms etc: all without a roof. We were really worried about the upstairs flooring being exposed for such s long time. We tried to get Homespect to go through and have a look last week, however SC denied them access as we are only allowed to have an inspection at certain times during the building process. As soon as we mentioned Homespect we seemed to have a roof within days. I am still going to write an email today to request that Homespect goes through before the internal walls etc, I really want to know that the flooring is ok before they go any further. We are doing solid hardwood flooring on both levels, it would be terrible to have this lift or buckle latter on. To date I have been really happy with Clarendon and SC, he does return our calls. We live on a hill above where our house is being built and I can see whether or not they are working on it, I try not to let it stress me out. They are working on our house and another one somewhere not too far away. I think they take turns going to each. I hope all is going well for you, this forum is great and really helpful! I'll post a pic of my house Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅
Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 8946Jun 30, 2015 5:02 pm Omg, sorry people it said it didn't post! I'm trying to work out how to delete Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 8947Jun 30, 2015 5:06 pm leese Thanks Kim. Can I ask why you upgraded the underlay under the laminate? What benefits in that? Carpet Call have great examples of the laminates. . That has been helpful in initial decision making, but will head out to the colour studio before appointment to make final decision. I have had a quick look at carpet, might just go with the bronze range and when kids are older replace it. Thanks for your costings they really help. We got this underlay called Instalay. It makes the laminate more solid, but cushioned and sounds more like floorboards when you walk on it- apparently. I also thought it would be more insulation than just putting on the concrete slab if you know what I mean. I would recommend looking at the higher range carpet, I've got 4 kids under 9 and I was worried about putting in more expensive carpet too. I was convinced that not only did the carpet feel better underfoot, the fact it had a memory too it, was warmer and would last longer, even with 4 kids sold me. The bronze range felt like really bad astoturf IMO, and having the entire first floor and stairs covered in it, was not very appealing. But that was just my thoughts. DEfinitley go and check it out in person. Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 8949Jun 30, 2015 5:29 pm Lol I had the sam problem the other day, stupid Tapatalk! I don't think you can actually delete a post either which is even more stupid! Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 8950Jun 30, 2015 5:42 pm It is so embarrassing. I went out of the app and back to the Home forum site and it said I have exceeded my daily limit of edits, I have to wait 24hrs now to delete. Omg, I have to look like an idiot for another day. I knew I shouldn't have tried to join, some people should just stay watchers. Sorry again for my spam people.

I've been following your Blog. I'm also building a very altered version of the Fairmont 38 Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 8956Jun 30, 2015 9:26 pm Brown, lol. We're rendering and doing sandstone features after handover. Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 8957Jun 30, 2015 9:29 pm Love the floor tiles in all bathrooms, Rose. We just went with plain, boring white.. haha.. Niche looks great and another confirmation that we made the right decision for ours too. Is there some paint in some of the bathrooms? I think I see a hint of yellow above the tiles in the 2nd last picture. I assume that is the paint colour for the rest of your house?

I think the light n phone makes it yellow Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 8960Jul 01, 2015 7:13 am Rmjose - love the bathroom pics. Was it a lot more expensive to do the mosaics in the shower nook? I love where you do the floor tiles up one wall.... i would love to do that too, but worried they wouldn't let me. the stair balustrades? There is nothing special about these and I imagine literally every stair installer will be able to do this. 1 6731 The two 15mm holes are obviously not compliant.
