It does make a big difference Our Eden Brae Saville build * we have a frame! pg4 90May 11, 2012 7:09 pm The air conditioning has been roughed in now and hopefully we will be at lock up by next week! So excited about it. Our house building blog: http://shellgavshouse.blogspot.com/ Our Eden Brae Saville build * Roof is on pg 4 91Jun 11, 2012 5:42 am Well we still aren't at lock up. We had a problem with the mortar (they used next doors sand for one section!!!). EBH were on it and getting the brickies back in to fix it......they used the wrong colour AGAIN!!!! I'm very frustrated. EBH won't sign off on it until it is right - cant complain about that - would rather they get it sorted now than later. But at the same time, we just want it sorted so the build can continue. Oh, they also put the bricks under the windows too close to the window so EBH are making them redo those. They did something to the frame as well (not really sure about that cause hubby spoke with our SS and I didn't really get what he was talking about!!!) They have installed the insulation. The a/c is in and the electrical has been done. But we are at a standstill until the brickies get their butts into gear and fix their mistakes!!!! We have a back fence now too. I don't like the two tone look at all - we had agreed on cream and I really don't know what the protocol is in this situation!!! We haven't paid yet and I have told hubby I want it painted one colour (he's less than thrilled). Our house has black tiles/windows so brown does not suit our place. Plus all our windows will look out to the backyard and so I will see it daily. We have an easement running along that fence so can't put anything there to hide it.

Got the invoice today so that's exciting. Went by tonight and saw the garage had been gyprocked. Hubby went past and said the whole house has been done!!!! So excited to hear that. Going to arrange an onsite inspection to make sure everything is going well and have a good sticky beak. So happy things have started moving again.

Apparently they inspect every major stage of the building? Re: Our Eden Brae Saville build * Lock up pg5!!!! 94Jun 14, 2012 4:54 pm I believe Tyrell's were doing an inspection but have no idea what has happened there. We have arranged a site meeting on Tuesday and that is one of the questions I have!!! Can't wait to see the house on Tuesday (and take LOTS of pictures) Our house building blog: http://shellgavshouse.blogspot.com/ Our Eden Brae Saville build * Lock up pg5!!!! 95Jun 15, 2012 7:38 am Couple of photos - not the best quality!!!!

PG 5 99Jun 27, 2012 7:44 pm Hi I am thinking of building with EB- and I was wondering what upgrades you paid for? I am thinking of adding door, maybe increase ceiling height but that is it for now? What are the kitchen options - love your pics! Did you pay extra to have the doors open that way? Built a Hawthorne 31 with EB nessjeffdreamhouse.blogspot.com.au Building an investment now with New Living homes... We are at nearly finished... Just landscaping and driveway to go! Our Eden Brae Saville build * Kitchen in! PG 5 100Jun 27, 2012 8:52 pm The garage door is on!!!! It is seeming more and more real now. Really need to sort out window coverings and furniture. 1sttimebuilding2012 Hi I am thinking of building with EB- and I was wondering what upgrades you paid for? I am thinking of adding door, maybe increase ceiling height but that is it for now? What are the kitchen options - love your pics! Did you pay extra to have the doors open that way? we didn't increase ceiling height. We did add a door/wall to make the media room into a bedroom. I think it was a couple of hundred dollars (will find out exactly). We kept our kitchen options to the bare minimum due to $$$. We are getting overhead cupboards done after handover. In saying that....The rear opening cupboards were around a thousand for the two. It was easier to get it done now so that is why we went ahead. We are so happy with how it has turned out.
