But that would give you some sort of indication. It might take a while to get sorted, but I plan on popping up some photos with furniture in place, so that should help a bit with the sense of size too.

Yeah definitely, not complaining about the size We chose the Polaris based on the Presley (the one your referring to) and we found it to be ample sized in the display home, and in reality the Polaris is not much smaller based on my calculations Re: Our castle by the sea - first build in Trinity, Alkimos 67Jul 20, 2013 11:03 pm itzeddie Yeah definitely, not complaining about the size We chose the Polaris based on the Presley (the one your referring to) and we found it to be ample sized in the display home, and in reality the Polaris is not much smaller based on my calculations That's the one! I seem to remember someone saying that the study area in the Presley is slightly smaller for some reason. Definitely gives a great feel for the house being able to see something similar on display though!

A bit disappointing but these things do happen and a call to the office got things resolved quickly. So excited to see things really coming together now!

Looks so much more spacious from inside! So what meeting was this? A lockup meeting? How long is keys after PCI usually? LOVE the colour contrast on the front by the way. Re: Our castle by the sea - first build in Trinity, Alkimos 70Jul 24, 2013 1:41 pm Looks amazing!!! building with Redink Prestart 21/3/13 Slab down 12/6/13 Brickwork started 5/8/13 Brickwork finished 26/8/13 Roof frame 6/9/13 Colorbond 26/9/13 Grey float 11/10/13 white set 17/10/13 Re: Our castle by the sea - first build in Trinity, Alkimos 71Jul 24, 2013 2:53 pm Thankyou! Celebrations do a "lock up meeting", other builders might call it a tiler's meeting or something else. It's actually the first time we've had an on site meeting - I know others do a few along the way, so it's really up to how the company operates. They have 10 working days after PCI for fixing any issues and then we get keys. If there's very few issues though it could be sooner than that!
