Can't wait to stick a red dot on every single tile. I might go to office works and buy my own box of red dots - I'm going to need them Re: H3nl3y KDR Monterey belle q2 week 17 383Dec 17, 2015 3:30 pm Build day 124 and officially locked out for the first time Re: H3nl3y KDR Monterey belle q2 week 17 384Dec 17, 2015 5:20 pm oh ok is it bcoz stopping for christmas? Re: H3nl3y KDR Monterey belle q2 week 17 385Dec 17, 2015 6:12 pm I think so. I don't think there is anything to be done now until we do PCI Re: H3nl3y KDR Monterey belle q2 week 17 387Dec 17, 2015 7:53 pm Finally got an email and some dates. Looks like PCI might be the week starting Jan 18 and maybe handover second week of Feb. Seems so far away considering the House is finished Re: H3nl3y KDR Monterey belle q2 week 17 388Dec 18, 2015 7:57 am Another update, PCI will be about Jan 27, so long to wait while nothing happens H3nl3y KDR Monterey belle q2 week 17 389Dec 24, 2015 12:52 pm We ordered two couches for the living room. We got this couch in a three seater but in the darker nutmeg colour. I really wanted the lighter colour but with two 5 year olds and a 3 year old my head won over my heart this time Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This colour Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ And we just checked the bed head in my daughters room for size and colour and pretty happy with that too Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The one thing that's doing my head in is curtain/blind choice. I just can't decide so I'm Leaving it until we live in the house for a while then I will decide. Re: H3nl3y KDR Mont3r3y belle q2 week 21 390Jan 04, 2016 1:31 pm So we are still in the Christmas shut down period. Its going sooooo slowly. Hopefully next week things will start up again. Just need kitchen splash back and a bit of caulking and we are ready for PCI - its been a long wait. Re: H3nl3y KDR Mont3r3y belle q2 week 21 391Jan 05, 2016 7:51 pm Hi , saw in your post to Elite a bit of a warning about cat 1 tiles. The tiles are about the only thing in the house we didn't upgradeWe have added some feature tiles but all our floor and wall tiles are cat 1. We are signing Thursday. Any thing I really need to know about choosing the cheap tiles??? Re: H3nl3y KDR Mont3r3y belle q2 week 21 392Jan 05, 2016 9:37 pm I think if they are square you should be right. Also if you have a good tiler you should Be ok too as other people's cat 1 tiles seem to be ok. Our tiles just seem to be chipped along all the cut edges and look rough. I think that's a combination for cheap tiles and bad tiler. Re: H3nl3y KDR Mont3r3y belle q2 week 21 393Jan 06, 2016 8:42 am I think we will have to risk it and hope the tiles are OK. A random question. Do you have fly screens on yet? I wondering how they look on the timber Windows. If you've got photos that would be great. Re: H3nl3y KDR Mont3r3y belle q2 week 21 395Jan 07, 2016 8:10 am Thanks for posting the photo. Your flyscreen frames are way more subtle than what ours will be. Re: H3nl3y KDR Mont3r3y belle q2 week 21 396Jan 07, 2016 12:37 pm I think if you have a lighter brown Stain on the timber Windows then Jasper is probably the best match for blending it in. Re: H3nl3y KDR Mont3r3y belle q2 week 24 397Jan 11, 2016 8:26 am Any action on your site since the Christmas break finished? Re: H3nl3y KDR Mont3r3y belle q2 week 24 398Jan 11, 2016 9:27 am No just a sad little house sitting there waiting. Re: H3nl3y KDR Mont3r3y belle q2 week 24 399Jan 11, 2016 10:46 am Actually there was someone at the house today. Not our SS and not a tradie. Just someone looking through it. I would think Henley would be busting to get our house off their books now its going into week 23 - there is not much to do either, I dont know why we have to wait another 2 weeks for PCI - I just want to start getting stuck into the garden and painting our front fence etc, and getting our new stuff thats just sitting at Harvey Normal waiting to get delivered ( I want my dyson Stick vac most of all) The hello hello nursery had 4ft neighbours be gone for $20 each at the moment and we need about 20, The said they will only keep in the pots for about a month, grrrrr we wont be ready to plant by then. so many things we need and all the sales are ending now - such bad timing to finish a build Re: H3nl3y KDR Mont3r3y belle q2 week 24 400Jan 11, 2016 1:35 pm I agree about the sales. I want so many new things but need to actually stand in the house to visualise what I need and where. It's hard as they don't have any displays of the Ivory. So you had some random on your block having a sticky nose??!! We were lucky in that our old house was so small (86 square metres) compared to the new house, they were able to take enough readings around the old backyard house before… 8 36902 The biggest challenge will be if you take out a loan and then run out of money - you'll have an incomplete security and lenders do not like this so you can get stuck.… 2 18895 Hi, I am looking into doing a KDR in Melbourne and am contemplating using Kialla Homes. I am looking for feedback on them from others who have built with them. 0 13301 |
