C'mon Rob, need another hit with pics. Is another video out of the question? Ru2014 are you building the Avalon too? I passed on the cutout, starting to regret it! Re: Slabbed, Framed & Near Lockup (Simonds Avalon) Pics & Vi 82Nov 15, 2014 11:14 am Thanks RU I would love to do another video TC but the scaffold is all packed up and it's locked up tight now. We're hoping to meet up with the SS early next week so will do a video then. The carpet we chose was discontinued by the carpet mob so we were called in to reselect carpet. Turns out we're glad it as were prefer the new selection, nice and dark (handy with three boys running a muck) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Blogging Our Home Build With Simonds - Avalon 3512 4/05/14 Signed Contracts Land 5/05/14 Signed Off with Simonds Homes - Slightly Modified Avalon 3512 4/06/14 Simonds Gallery Appointment 4/07/14 Settlement! 28/07/14 Site Start Re: Slabbed, Framed & Near Lockup (Simonds Avalon) Pics & Vi 83Nov 15, 2014 11:15 am Oh, we had more good news, apparently settlement will be in December!

The Sanctuary ensuite comes with a cutout and i took it as it was. Oh the cutout has privacy issues as well so i will see when we move in how to deal with that with kids. ARoba nice bricks. Looks like they are an upgrade. I missed the video somehow, will have to look for it. Re: Slabbed, Framed & Near Lockup (Simonds Avalon) Pics & Vi 87Nov 16, 2014 7:41 pm Oh my goodness!!!!

It's such a great way to get a look at the whole house And your house is looking really fantastic. I love the flooring, and the master suite. Luxury! Re: Slabbed, Framed & Near Lockup (Simonds Avalon) Pics & Vi 100Dec 07, 2014 9:47 pm Wow, love it! Especially love the cut out of the ensuite and here I was telling my partner we needed a door on ours lol. We never chose anything for the balcony floors either but was told it would be decked which was a nice surprise. Not sure if we paid extra for that and didn't realise but oh well. It's all come together really nicely, well done guys Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=71963&start=50#p1203154 Settlement: January 2014 Currently waiting council approval Our standard double-glazed window is tested to achieve, Rw 34, and can be glazed to suit Rw 39.
