Well back from holidays to craziness! Found out whilst on holiday that our brick choice was discontinued so they needed a new brick chosen ASAP. Had a look at the brochure and realised that none of the bricks in our original Category were similar so was a bit concerned how we were going to get the look we wanted. After an email and a couple of phone calls Porter Davis have come to the party and are supplying a brick from 3 Cats higher at no cost to us! Yay PD
Went straight from the airport to Hopetoun to check that our external colour selections match the new brick and looking pretty good.. Not 100% sure that the render colour is perfect but looks close enough. Hubby figures worst case scenario we can paint it.
Finally got a chance to check our final drawings (which we signed on the way to the airport 2 weeks ago!) against contract drawings and noticed that the draftsman had managed to move our kitchen cupboard from one end of the island bench to the other. Not a big deal but it changes how we live in the house. Almost left it as is but after thinking more carefully I don't want the kids sitting at the breakfast bar at the fridge end so shot an email off to our BC to fix it at the same time as the brick PCV.
Drove past our block on the way home and we have a Portaloo and rubbish cage so excellent signs that they will start this week, they have 3 days to have started as per contract!
No movement on the house round the corner that is the same as ours....dying to know what's happening there but don't know them so will just have to sticky beak from afar.
Will get some pictures over the coming days and really kick this thread off!
