Can I ask what store Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 11413Jul 03, 2018 10:52 am Hello everyone, i just wanted to ask. When do we receive working drawings? The only house plans i have is the one given to me at Tender Presentation. I have not received anything else. We have signed off on everything (Colours, Kitchen, Flooring etc). We finalised everything end of May, wondering if it is time to chase it up with my CSR? TIA! Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 11414Jul 03, 2018 11:13 am Jenifermarie Chinoandbebe Jenifermarie In the chaos of this week I forgot to post an update here. We had an inspection this week to check all our rough ins for electrical and AC. It was really nice just to meet our SS to be honest. We picked up a few power points in the wrong spot which have been fixed up since. The electrician only had a print out of the electrical plan so some of the measurements of above/inside vanity for the bathrooms weren’t readable unlike on the electronic PDF. Everything on site is looking good although I failed to get many interesting photos because I was too busy trying to document where all my wires were running! Our lower roof is in at the back, although we’re still missing the garage part of the lower roof. Kitchen bulkheads have also gone in Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ And our stacker doors are in place...lockup is coming! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ We had an inspector go through too and he picked up a few minor issues with straightening a wall, fixing a pipe and a couple of floor trusses that needed extra fixing to the frame. Pretty minor stuff. Our SS sent over some update photos today to show the remediation work...so happy to see all that soundscreen insulation!

Would love to know your feedback from experience? I am trying to know the best one that will serve both comfort and aesthetics. Options: 1. Roller blind: -Single layer: (light filtering? block out?) -Double layer: light filtering+ block out 2. Vertical Blind 3. Horizontal Blind 4. Plantation Shutter 5. Cellular blind or Honey comb blind 6. Curtain Single layer: - Sheer - Light filtering (Uncoated/ No lining) - Block out Double Layer: - Sheer+ Block out - Sheer+ light filtering (Uncoated/ No lining) - Light filtering+ block out I personally don't prefer a complete block out option. I love the filtered light in the space. However, I will possibly put block out or heavy furnishing options in the west windows to block the summer heat as much as possible. I have never used roller blinds but the look and texture option of roller blind is convincing me. Timber shutter is something I like for its look but what I don't like is it is not easy to completely open up the window. Few windows which are not meant to be open can have timber plantation. Again it will be for my desire to get its look. Will really like people's insight on the pros and cons. Thanks in advance.
