Hehe Theres still outdoor flooring, outdoor inbuilt bbq kitchen and radiant strip lighting we are hoping to do I am also building a Toulouse 50 and with roughly the same upgrades as you yet the price we got at tender was a like 200k+ more compared to the price you got. Does the 550k include your floorboard, refrig air-con etc and other stuff already or not yet? our site cost is about 30k. Just curious has anyone finish building and connected to nbn without the provision of the 2k WSC provision? We actually ended up at 53 squares and 700k..but reduced size down to 50sq and took out a bunch of upgrades. Ended up at 600k inclusive of 40k site costs. We went with laminate. Have proper hardwood floors and with pets and a toddler they were just scratched and dented alot! Not a fan of engineered floorboards so it was agreed to just do laminate for now. Aircon we upgraded the heating and will do add on cooling later. We are currently at the stage now that we have to reduce our size slightly ours is roughly 53 sq too...for ~760k and that doesn't include hardwood floors or cooling yet... need to revisit and reduce the price /quote]Feel free to checkout my blog for what we ended up with.
