Won't jump ahead and assume though I guess... Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2627Mar 24, 2014 7:00 pm My son had roof trusses delivered today. Which was a shock. I didn't think anything would get done today. Although windows were supposed to go in and haven't. It is supposed to fine to on Saturday. I wonder how many tradies will be down there working. We put our house on the market today so this rain better do one cos we don't need too much of a hold up or we could end up homeless. It all is starting to feel very real now. A little sad as this house has been our home for the past 11 years and we have very fond memories here. Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2628Mar 24, 2014 8:09 pm Our block was pegged today, we also got some fencing up but sadly I think it was suppose to be for next door.

How did your place hold up with the rain last night? Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2634Mar 25, 2014 8:24 am Wow James and Ash - what a difference the blinds make! They look amazing, and it's exciting for me because now I know how they will look on my windows, considering we have the same facade hehe Yeah natlyn, it's been a long road! But it will all be worth it Today is beautiful, but sounds like the calm before yet another storm! Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2635Mar 25, 2014 9:04 am Thanks everyone we can now finally move into the master bedroom haha. Natlyn - they took 8 weeks to be manufactured once we finally decided who to go with and put down some money. Install was quick only a hour or so they panels came pre made so all they had to do was piece together the frame and screw into the window frames then hang the panels on and square them upchanged the whole feel of the house. Katiewaity - The rain was def coming down. I now know I need to re-level the back yard in certain areas we had minor poolage in spots will get into that when spring comes around so the grass can bounce back easier. We even had rain under the alfresco wetting the table which we havnt had before :-\ will need to invest on some of those clear blinds maybe. Nat84 - they will look great. Just wish we ordered them sooner haha. Hope it stays dry so they can peg your house out...and I can cut my grass haha but I'm keeping an eye on it as soon as something happens I'll be sure to let you know.

Hopefully they will get out there in the next couple of days Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2637Mar 25, 2014 10:05 am I love the look of plantation shutters - so streamline. We have ordered ours already subject to final measure. ____________________________________________ Building the Altona Media Entertainer with Allworth Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2638Mar 25, 2014 10:26 am Kylez+Mitch2 I love the look of plantation shutters - so streamline. We have ordered ours already subject to final measure. That is awesome Kylez, who did you order them through? So you can order them a few months in advance, didn't realise that! Might have to start looking into some quotes Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2639Mar 25, 2014 10:32 am We got ours through accent blinds and we got a pretty good deal. Definitely get quotes because that's his we got our deal and got them to come down in price. Obviously they will still take a little while to make, we are hoping our SS will allow them to do the final measure at lock up so they can be installed just after handover. ____________________________________________ Building the Altona Media Entertainer with Allworth Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2640Mar 25, 2014 10:51 am Kylez+Mitch2 We got ours through accent blinds and we got a pretty good deal.

Ahhh I see, so they cannot actually order them until they have done the final measure up - makes sense! Yeah I have a few places in mind that people have recommended so I might start getting quotes, thanks for that Hi, Apologies - I know there is plenty out there on this but struggling to put together the puzzle.
