Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Sep 30, 2011 8:45 am Our home is completed and we are so happy with it. One or two little things to do but we have heaps of space to live in now. Re: We are in! 4Oct 01, 2011 9:21 pm Congratulations. That was a fast build. Looking forward to seeing some photos when you get a chance to post them. House - Lockup completed 23rd December 2011 - Painters are in!!! https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=37261&start=0&hilit=Blaxland Re: We are in! 6Oct 02, 2011 11:38 pm Thank you, will get pics up soon. I can never master them. A few things like leaking ensuite toilet, heating not going, frameless shower almost not fitting then had wrong fitting for it. Big things like cracks forming in bricks all around the house!!! Cupboard handles hitting walls so chains attached to fix problem. Wrong plug in bath as meant to have push,pull plug but got normal rubber one. To fix they need to pull the bath out, and to fix leak in toilet they need to destroy old one with sledge hammer with my frameless shower cm's from it not to mention new tiles and new painted walls!!!!!!!! Very nervous on that. Re: We are in! 7Oct 03, 2011 7:41 am Did you get a building inspection completed? I would if you are worried about bricks. Since you are in it may be worth considering before your maintenance inspection. Looking forward to seeing the photos and I hope they deal with the issues promptly.

Bit blurry http://s21.photobucket.com/albums/b267/ ... 187c20.jpg Re: We are in! 14Oct 04, 2011 11:51 am Thanks for posting the photos!! If you click on the Img icon before pasting the link, then the photos will appear within the post so people don't have to click on the link. It was good to see some photos of your completed home. We selected the same floor tiles, and had pretty much the same colours in the bathroom and ensuite. So I am pleased to see how it has all come together. Enjoy your new home! BTW which Wattyl paint did you select for the walls?

For info on our build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43093 Built the McLaren by Dechellis - slab down 22 Feb - handover 30 Aug 2011 - and gardens finished 9 Dec 2012!! Re: We are in! 16Oct 04, 2011 9:11 pm I know, today the toilet was fixed and he didnt have to smash the cistern after all. And yesterday the showerscreen was completed in the main bathroom. Also the heating is working today fixed and confirmed we have a zoned heating motor up there too. Still have the plug to be replaced and the most important issue of the cracks in the bricks appearing. Apparently an engineer will be coming who designed the slab. Shall be interesting. Not happy but trying to keep positive with being in our new home. The wattyl paint was winter mushroom and splash back red is dulux redbox. Re: We are in! 17Oct 04, 2011 9:20 pm Hope everything works out for you and is resolved quickly. Thanks for the paint information.
