Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Daedalus Goodlife Build Thread - on the home stretch 181Mar 14, 2013 12:50 pm Yeah i think we will be having our PCI within a week of each other ! I am not sure if they add those door stopper things, but if not then they're quite cheap at bunnings. I am not much of a greenthumb so i am just going to let the landscaper do whateer they have proposed haha. the planter will be whatever leftover bricks we have on site and then rendered. hope to find a brickie around thatll do it cash at a fair price. so much money to spend on so many things just to move in but we have to pick and choose our priorities as money is tight at the moment so that planter will have to wait!

We have been told our unitex (external paint) will be getting applied today but I am doubtful as we have had some wet weather recently and there are chances of showers today too.

Your laundry seems spacious. I'm keen to see your bathrooms. Have you tried sneaking in through windows? We always manage to find one that's not locked.

VERY curious to know what it looks like in there as we havent seen them since the tiler had only just started. I wish we had got some laundry benches but I guess its easy enough to do later much cheaper anyway. Hows things on your end? THis last little bit has felt the longest!!

It's so cramped in there! We have a whole week till PCI and it's dragging, they only have a couple of things to do, too. Do you know when or if they did insulation? Our floorboards went in yesterday, really made the house look smaller, coz they are a dark colour. Hoping I can offset it with light furnishings.

I'm with you on the bathroom, our will be very similar but after seeing others vanity bench tops stretching over the end of the bath I am wishing I had asked about it. Though out bench tops are stone so not sure if it would have been possible. But we had more then enough left over! Re: Daedalus Goodlife Thread - on the home stretch INSIDE PI 191Mar 18, 2013 2:46 pm This might be a strange question but do the toilets seem small? Looking at your plan ours a similar size and my one concern is it might be a tight squeeze to try and get in and shut the door. Also wishing we had asked for the bigger doors on them like you have! 620 seems very narrow! Re: Daedalus Goodlife Thread - on the home stretch INSIDE PI 192Mar 18, 2013 2:52 pm Looks great I don't think your kitchen cabinets are too dark at all. It is such a big space and with the light floors and light bench top it works really well.

Fmac - feels as though toilets are getting smaller and smaller these days, I don't know what size doors we have but checking out the toilet the other day it felt bigger once the fixtures and tiling were completed on it.

Looking at the plans it looks like ours are the same kind of size as ours. I think your doors are 720 while ours are 620. I do worry it will be a squish but I guess well have to make do Re: Daedalus Goodlife Thread - PCI Booked 28/3. Pics Inside 196Mar 19, 2013 10:31 pm Love the external colours!

Pics Inside 199Mar 26, 2013 10:39 am Thanks all for the comments...we are so close to PCI i can smell it. Havent been around the place since Friday but all i remember that needed to be completed was the last bits of our driving and alfresco paving, blinds, carpets and fly screens. We had our splashback installed too...and we are on the fence about how it looks =/ What are your guys thoughts?
