Re: H3nl3y KDR Mont3r3y belle q2 week 28 - handover in 7 da 526Mar 04, 2016 11:14 am So we got the keys yesterday and a list of things still to be fixed. The flooring guys turned up that day but the floor still needed further leveling so they poured that yesterday and came back today to lay the timber.

Our things have been in storage for 12 months so I'm cleaning everything. Dust and dirt everywhere - the carpet goes in tomorrow which is great as then we can put things in the bedroom and free up the over cluttered living area. Soooo much to clean in the house too. There is dust everywhere Re: H3nl3y KDR Mont3r3y belle q2 week 28 - handover in 7 da 535Mar 16, 2016 8:39 pm That looks awesome! Very nice.

The concrete is due to be sealed this week. Henley guys are coming and going fixing bits and pieces. I must say living in the house is not great. Looking at our * tiles and finishes everyday is driving me crazy. Do we love our home?? No. Would we build with them again???? Hell no.

The after handover tasks are underway and looking good. Here is the side of the house progress Before : Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Current: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ We are still waiting on lots of things to get fixed including our top two kitchen drawers that still don't fit - they are currently sitting on my bedroom floor. Things I would change now that we have lived in here for a while: 1) higher ceilings - wish we upgraded this. I think it is a must have. 2) white kitchen - should have done this. 3) lighter floors and engineered oak. The laminate looks great but it's hard under foot and cold. After standing on my friends floor which is engineered oak it feels much nicer. 4) wish we had a skylight in our kitchen. I don't think this was an option with Henley anyway but the kitchen is dark. 5) would have got bigger windows in the kids bedrooms. They don't get all that much light in them. H3nl3y KDR Mont3r3y belle q2 week 28 - handover in 7 days 539Apr 06, 2016 8:43 am Hey Jess, your sideway outside looks good I was reading your list of suggestions...too late for us of course but curious anyway. What height ceilings have you got? We have white overhead cupboards, so half a point there and a tick for our lighter colored timber floors Our configuration is quite different so kitchen shouldn't be too dark, although I am not convinced about our splashback colour. I was at Cosham recently...there is a much bigger range of colours offered now. We will possibly put a skylight or 2 in over our rear passage as our neighbours have a tall brick garage only 1.18m from a couple of our rooms which will block afternoon light significantly. We will check that out when we are in. Hope you have a smile on your face now that things are getting done. viewtopic.php?t=81336 Building with MainVue...Modified Ivory 436...our journey Re: H3nl3y KDR Mont3r3y belle q2 week 28 - handover in 7 da 540Apr 06, 2016 10:06 am what a journey you have been on Jess. Thankyou so much for sharing it as there is plenty of great advice and things to look out for which I have a feeling I'm going to need soon. I hope you and your hubby fall in love with the house again now that things are coming to an end. 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 37157 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 19114 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 13449 |
