Browse Forums Building A New House Spring Mountain 15Jun 30, 2008 9:48 am Welcome back Jet, that took a long time.
We looked at you block every time when we were out there, waiting for you to start. We are waiting for our contract now, hopefully it doesn't take that long Take care Mike Lot 830 Re: I'm back and ready to build! Slab update 20/07 16Jul 01, 2008 7:49 am Who did you decide to build with Mike? I see you have pegged out an area I assume is where you are putting your house? Spring Mountain 17Jul 01, 2008 8:55 am I going with homedesign (http://www.homedesign.net.au/), they are willing to use our plans.
We tried several builders, Dixon, Hallmark, Newstart, and an independent builder, who told us after several weeks of planning he is not building new homes anymore... Now we are waiting for the final plans, they are pre-approved in regards to covenants, and the contract. If everything goes allright (especially Logan Council) building can start August/September. Till then I'm looking at your site and keep dreaming ... Mike Re: I'm back and ready to build! Slab update 20/07 18Jul 01, 2008 6:17 pm Good Luck with the council, that's where all our problems started. Re: I'm back and ready to build! Slab update 20/07 19Jul 07, 2008 8:38 am Well fingers crossed the rain stops in the next couple of days because my slab is booked in to be poured on Friday and I've waited too long for it not to happen.
Another pain was the bricks we originally chose have been discontinued and I had to choose another one. Everyone knows how stressful that decision is. Well I chose Hamilton from PGH with off white flush mortar. I hope that will look ok. Is anyone else using Hamilton? Also I originally only had a choice between white or cream square tiles for the splashback in the kitchen but now I am allowed to choose what I like and I can't decide. The benchtops are black laminate (you know the type with the grey speckles through it), the cupboards are bamboo (light cream colour with the textured look). I have NO idea what to do as a splashback. I originally had the white tiles but I think they will stand out too much. What do you think of a basic stainless steel to pick up on the grey flecks in the benchtops? Or do I go dramatic with a red frosted glass. I really hate cleaning grout so I need something streamlined. Any suggestions?? Jet Re: I'm back and ready to build!

I replied in your other thread, yes to the red glass!! Paula Use a product like Equisol's Vitalise to clean the deck then coat with a penetrating timber oil.
