Browse Forums Building A New House Our First Build! *Fowler Build* Getting there slowly! 141Jun 05, 2012 10:08 am Dreaman - We have only gone with our bathroom tiles with fowler, the main floor tiles we are doing ourselves after handover. So not sure about the tile sizes sorry Kiki - No we haven't made a final decision on the main floor tiles yet, no major rush really as we cannot do this until after handover and we don't have the finances yet. www.tinas-cakery.com Building a Monte Carlo with Fowler Homes.

Well things are moving along now. We have our front door on, most of out internal doors are on. The wet areas have been waterproofed. We have just sent an email asking if the builder can tack on our skirting boards downstairs in the non tiled areas as we will be doing that after handover and want to be able to remove the skirting boards and tile to the wall.

Your house is very luxury with Bi-fold doors and 100m stone bench in the Kitchen i'm very jealous Although you don't have kitchen layout but you know exactly what you will get through display home. Our tender was in Sep 2010 and our color selection was Apr 2011 and our kitchen was heavily modified from both Montee Carlo and Pescara kitchen so I forgot what I'm after with our kitchen Wish Fowler finally speed up their job for you and good luck with your job hunting. Re: Our First Build! *Fowler Build* Getting there slowly! 156Jul 08, 2012 11:25 pm Okay so they got us a rough handover *looking mid august* sigh. Im so completely over the entire build.
