Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Our Plantation Trinity Q2 QLD 121Nov 08, 2014 7:17 am Thank you Jase_Dave! Love seeing all the finished pics of your house it looks absolutely amazing!!! Mirz thank you, we just had to have the big door yes they still have to paint the lower half of the front, I hope they do it soon because I really want to see how it looks! It will mainly be the same colour as the top storey except the big archway over the porch will be a darker brown (Dulux Snuggle Pie). Re: Our Plantation Trinity Q2 QLD 122Nov 08, 2014 8:39 pm Took my sister to see our house today and discovered that all our cabinetry had been delivered this morning! So exciting! It's so daunting choosing colours from tiny little swatches - I'm so happy that they all look how we had imagined!

We are really hoping it is all installed on Monday! Then I presume wet area tiling will follow... Also expecting our skirting, door frames, and internal doors to be fitted this week...

Have you received any date for handover yet,? Re: Our Plantation Trinity Q2 QLD 124Nov 09, 2014 9:22 pm Hi mirz, Unfortunately no indication of handover yet. We are still yet to even meet our site supervisor which is a bit disappointing. My partner has next week off work so is hoping to meet with him then! We are happy with the progress though, can't wait to see what happens this coming week. Re: Our Plantation Trinity Q2 QLD 125Nov 10, 2014 8:32 pm That won't be a troubleCo reckon they are just reluctant to give handover date indication to avoid over excited clients. They are progressing pretty well on your site. Re: Our Plantation Trinity Q2 QLD 126Nov 16, 2014 11:04 pm Cabinets were installed Friday! Starting to get a proper feel for the spaces now..

We have also changed our mind from decking the alfresco after handover to tiling it, so hoping we can arrange for the tiler to do it while he is there - fingers crossed! Re: Our Plantation Trinity Q2 QLD 127Nov 17, 2014 7:01 am Looking great Emma. It's nice to have those mid floor drains in QLD. Here in VIC sales people State back at you when ask them to have these drains. Fancy lights you got there nice taste Re: Our Plantation Trinity Q2 QLD 128Nov 27, 2014 2:32 pm Some updates! Tiling has been happening this week and should hopefully be finished by tomorrkw. Then next week the painters are coming in! Have also been told all our lighting needs to be delivered on the 12th of December -so exciting! Our site supervisor thinks handover will be the first week of February..

Re: Our Plantation Trinity Q2 QLD 129Nov 27, 2014 4:19 pm Looking great Emma. What's gonna take this long to handover now? Re: Our Plantation Trinity Q2 QLD 130Nov 27, 2014 6:28 pm Thanks mirz, still have to paint inside and outside, do electrical fitoff, and plumbing fitoff, all the mirrors, benchtops, shelving etc.. plus with closure for a few weeks over Christmas... Our Plantation Trinity Q2 QLD 131Nov 27, 2014 9:11 pm There are still 3 weeks of work till Christmas. Most of this stuff can be conducted in parallel. These people are lazy buggers Re: Our Plantation Trinity Q2 QLD 132Dec 03, 2014 10:00 pm Stone benchtops and sinks/basins are in!! I am so in love with all our choices and it is so exciting seeing it all come together!!! Sorry for the poor quality these were taken at night on my phone with a flash! Kitchen: benchtop is massive!!! Didn't remember it being this huge in the display homes - we love it! Ensuite: Bathroom: Hoping that painting happens soon, then lights are fitted next Friday! If anyone who has built with Plantation / Henley could give me a bit of an idea of the order of what's left to happen i would love to know!

That ceiling fan looks like DC motor no noise fan. Is that big a s s brand? See their adds in inflight magazines all the time. http://www.bigassfans.com Re: Our Plantation Trinity Q2 QLD 136Jan 13, 2015 6:19 pm Your house is looking amazing. Whole lights colours are making facade even bigger. Those pendents are not only fancy but exy too nice choice you have. You should be very close to handover now.

Re: Our Plantation Trinity Q2 QLD 139Feb 11, 2015 11:49 am Hi emma, can I ask which pendant lights you went with over your kitchen bench? Love the ambient light.
