So we now have bricks on site but no brickies as yet. we have been told 1-2 weeks so fingers crossed! We did come across a problem last night though while going over our plan. somehow in the laundry the bench has not been carried on across the washing machine so it can sit neatly underneath and the taps have been wall mounted instead of in the cupboard! how we missed this i dont know!!!!! our plan was to wall mount our dryer above the washing machine and with the taps on the wall thats not possible and I hate the idea of the washing machine fully visible not hidden underneath the bench I emailed our contact at Home Group thinking we would be able to change it but will obviously have to pay a variation fee which is what we have done with previous builds but no we are not allowed! we cant change it! seeing as we don't have brickwork started yet I don't see why it would be such a big deal if we are willing to pay! has anyone else made changes at this stage???? really disappointed I know we missed it on the plan but in my head I assumed it was automatically like that Re: Home Group WA - Eden Beach Jindalee Build 60Mar 23, 2015 3:28 am Lauz sorry to hear you've been denied the change, I wonder if it is because it involves plumbing?
