Oh wow I hadn't even noticed that. The door isn't closed properly and just has a wedge in it to hold it there so think that's why it looks wonky in the photo but I will definitely be checking that out this afternoon!

They have just one wall in the main bathroom, one in the ensuite and the cornices left! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The place feels so different already! The brickies have dropped all their gear off sometime today. Right down to wheelbarrows, shovels and hoses so think they must be starting soon. So excited and still so happy with the pace we are at! I'm just keeping everything crossed and hoping we can keep this up!!

Haha. They look great. I always find it weird to see the holes in them, they look so solid when built up as the wall.

I'll also be building the Avoca 25 at Gainsborough Greens with additions and modifications, but I'm only at estimate stage right now and have just received the results of the soil test today. My lot is due to settle mid December so got a ways to go yet. Went to the mychoice showroom on Saturday to get a headstart now on themes and colour combinations. I've been following your thread, I hope you don't mind that I get some colour inspiration from your build! Re: Building Avoca 25 - Coral Homes 95Oct 26, 2015 8:41 pm vonsta76 Love your land!

You just have to do a thread so I can follow yours as well! How fun is the mychoice showroom? We did the same before our colour appointment. The idea of going there for the first time and having to make every decision that day was terrifying! We really enjoyed going there and just taking it all in that first time.

Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 13771 In Qld it is a requirement that a builder must have a cost breakdown, for building a home to the same specification, with the same inclusions and the same finish.
