Looks really clean and bright. Oops, my bad. Just read that they are Laminex polar white. Lovely! Building with Dale Alcock Homes in Aveley Our thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=63880 And yes, my pants are indeed fancy. Re: Our Perth Build with Dale Alcock 43Apr 20, 2013 4:58 pm How's everything going beachside, you've been a little on the quiet side. Hope all is happening at a fast pace still and you are happy with it all. Re: Our Perth Build with Dale Alcock 46May 09, 2014 3:47 pm ARGH my detailed post just disappeared! In short - we're building again so Im back on the forum. I spend many hours trawling this forum for info and ideas so I thought Id share some photos of our home just before we took handover and hopefully give some ideas and inspiration to others. I have no hesitation in recommending DAH they were so great to deal with - we were looking forward to building with them again until we were told they don't build where we are wanting to move too Painting and Flooring were included in our build. Blinds and Curtains from Beachside Curtains in Wanagara (Craig was the guy we dealt with) We have Basswood Shutters in all the living and minor bedrooms and Honeycomb blinds in the Master Bed. The insulation from both is beyond what we expected and in the last 12mths we haven't had to use heating or cooling - we never installed air con as we were hoping our home was designed to be energy efficient Overload of photos now - any questions please ask. : : : : : : : : : : : : 2014 | Time to move to the country 2012 | Our Build with Dale Alcock https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=61943 Re: Our Perth Build with Dale Alcock 47May 09, 2014 3:55 pm MASTER BEDROOM http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/beachside_/completition/IMG_7230_zps6eda167a.jpg http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/beachside_/completition/IMG_7231_zpsd8001e48.jpg LIING KITCHEN DINING http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/beachside_/completition/IMG_7236_zpsfcaca814.jpg had an issue with the tiles on handover but the guys had it all sorted for us pronto. http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/beachside_/completition/IMG_7237_zps98948028.jpg Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ LAUNDRY - wrong tap wear in this photo. BEST IDEA we found and so happy we have is a bin drawer and a drawer that holds the big bag of dog food in the laundry. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ KIDS BATHROOM This glass panel is probably the only issue with our home. It was our idea but in hindsight we should've had thicker glass going to the ceiling... it was vey flimsy so we had the glass guys cut almost half of it off on an angle but it is still flimsy and not ideally safe with the kids. One thing not as we had of liked - can't really complain about that! http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/beachside_/completition/IMG_7242_zpsb19a3585.jpg And the view from the front of our home. http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/beachside_/completition/IMG_7560_zps335298d0.jpg : : : : : : : : : : : : 2014 | Time to move to the country 2012 | Our Build with Dale Alcock https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=61943 Re: Our Perth Build with Dale Alcock - Photos of completion 49May 10, 2014 3:12 am Your place is beautiful. The wood floors and light colour choices are a winner, I think. You must be sad to leave your new place so soon. http://www.housebythewater.wordpress.com From blank block to new home in Mandurah, Western Australia. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=65564 Re: Our Perth Build with Dale Alcock - Photos of completion 50May 10, 2014 10:38 pm Beautiful home - love the floor - spotted gum?? I have the same bath too. Where are you building now? How exciting - dont know if I could go back soon Like I said the Occupancy Certificate is not the tollgate that marks the completion of the house. The contract defines… 7 10749 Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17609 I am not sure whether Perth has its own way of doing things in regards to this. Most of Perth has class A (sandy soil), except for some areas near rivers or hills. 2 13100 |
