Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Dec 15, 2014 10:36 pm Hi, I have been watching this website for a long time and we finally have signed the contract and done our studio M so I thought it was about time i put something up. We have wanted to build at seaford for a long time, both my partner and I love the area, love being near the sea and not having to put up with traffic just to go to the supermarket! We struggled to find a block we were happy with, both of us wanting a large garden, it was difficult with most of the land sizes nowadays but we eventually were lucky with a nice sized 870m2 block. We have started to build a Glendale 38 which we fell in love with as soon as we walked into the display at Blackwood Park. Building at Seaford Meadows we thought the coastal facade suited being near the sea and we are hoping for some views from the front over towards the hills and river. We got the luxury inclusions which we were lucky to have signed up after august so got smeg appliances in the kitchen as standard. We've made a couple of changes with windows, gone for 2.7m downstairs and 2.5m upstairs ceilings, upgraded the kitchen bench to match the huge one in the display, increased the cabinetry in the laundry and upgraded the ensuite to have a bath included. Here is our floorplan: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The kitchen we have chosen, copied the colours as well: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Our outdoor selections: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Also monument for gutters, dune window frames and a similar light colour for the cladding - i forgot to take a photo with those all together. Our indoor selections: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The carpet is actually a dark grey/brown but the camera made it look black next to the tiles and laminate, we have a young boy and are planning on having a couple of dogs so thought a carpet that will hide stains will be useful. The larger tile is our wet area floor and the one under the laminate is for the walls, it will be floor-ceiling in the ensuite. All the bathroom cabinets and the kitchen have new crystal salt essastone except the laundry which we've gone for a similar laminate colour. We've also chosen stained victorian ash treads and risers for the stairs, this shows our selection with the laminate and the stain for the front door: So far we are past planning approval at the council so hoping for a february start, fingers crossed!

Cut was done on monday, tuesday trenches and by thursday we had this: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Next day a slab!

Top floor supports are all on and they've set up the scaffolding so second floor i guess gets built next week. lincoln29 We are building the Lincoln 29 after falling in love with the display at Blackwood. We also opted for the huge island bench. We liked the Lincoln too but decided that we could get more garden with a shorter+thinner two storey. Shambini The glendale is nice. We are having the same semi cantelevered staircase as the glendale display at blackwood park. My partner likes the staircase in the display home but i really wanted under stair storage so we compromised and got the KDHW stairs but at the standard width.
