Thanks! Most of it has felt super fast! It's just the weeks where no one is on site that feel like they drag on!

Kitchen looks amazing, love your cabinet choice and handles work so well with the door profile. Are you painting the cavity slider in scullery or having raw stain? Ensuite looks great too, love the light coming through. Looking forward to seeing more!

Re: Dale Alcock Stoneleigh build Millbridge- tiling complete 105Jun 17, 2016 10:07 pm Well after another month of not posting/not a great deal happening the tiling has finally been completed! the tiler was delayed 2 weeks from another job and then the screed took longer than expected to dry. This then pushed the dates for everything else out as well! The painters have been past and tested the walls and they are all still to wet to paint anyway. We had another meeting this morning with our SS who now expects us to have keys the second week into July. Next week we have the aircon, electrical & plumbing finishes happening, with the painting due to start the next week and then all the outside tidy up and paving to be completed the week after that. Fingers crossed we have no more hold ups!

What have you used in the laundry? Looks similar to what we've chosen I think The floor tiles are haven bone and the wall tiles (I've forgotten the name) but they are just a matt white tile. We've got the same throughout all the bathrooms/toilets Re: Dale Alcock Stoneleigh build Millbridge- tiling complete 109Jun 26, 2016 2:20 pm Everything is looking absolutely beautiful.. the caninetry is stunning and love your flooring choice. Going to be a beautiful home when finished! Re: Dale Alcock Stoneleigh build Millbridge- tiling complete 110Jun 26, 2016 2:36 pm Looks great. I love your kitchen splashback. Re: Dale Alcock Stoneleigh build Millbridge- tiling complete 111Jun 26, 2016 9:35 pm Outside of the house was painted this week All our plumbing and electrical finishes were installed as well as the air-conditioning. Haven't been able to sneak inside to get anymore photos but everything is looking pretty good. They haven't spaced the air-conditioning outlets evenly between the downlights on the raked ceiling which will drive the OCD me crazy! Not sure there is much that can be done with that though, will have to try and get some pictures to put up but for now here is how the front is looking http://i1303.photobucket.com/albums/ag152/k-england/front%20of%20house%20painted_zpsinhtrshu.jpg Re: Dale Alcock Stoneleigh build Millbridge- Outside Painted 112Jun 26, 2016 11:29 pm Gorgeous! I am still disappointed that we didn't get the double poles on our entrance and verandahs as I love how they look. Re: Dale Alcock Stoneleigh build Millbridge- Outside Painted 113Jun 28, 2016 1:40 pm Love what you have done with the display elevation looks beautiful Re: Dale Alcock Stoneleigh build Millbridge- Outside Painted 114Jul 04, 2016 9:29 pm Re: Dale Alcock Stoneleigh build Millbridge- Outside Painted 115Jul 04, 2016 9:34 pm Looking great!

Have you got a PCI date? This is the part that seems to drag doesn't it! They are saying our "finals" period is 6-8 weeks but I'm sure we've only got a handful of days work left to complete!

Fingers crossed we are all in soon Things are going ok down here, slowly but ok. We've been told we will have a date by middle of next week but there is still a lot of small things to finish off (door handles, out of service power point, fix the kitchen drawers, replace the entry door from the garage and silicone around all tiles and shower screens) so still expecting them to drag it out until August. Our SS is starting his inspection today so will see where we end up next week Re: Dale Alcock Stoneleigh build Millbridge- Outside Painted 118Jul 07, 2016 1:41 pm Fingers crossed it is sooner rather than later! We had a huge amount of work done Tues-Weds this week (all the plumbing, lights, power points etc) but now no one there again. Drag is the right word!

This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 8 2123 1000000% definitely add insulation. I have in my home and it makes a big difference minimising sound transfer. Insulation is pretty cheap and definitely worth it 2 3518 Engineering timber is certainly a less fuss option, times cheaper to supply and install and better withstands humidity. 1 10695 |
