Is that the concrete looking one? ~Shellby~ GJ Bridgewater 203 11/3/2016 - Site Work Started 29/9/2016 - Handover 142 Work Days 6 Work Days Over https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80174 Re: Our first build: "Bridgewater" by Gj's Shoalhaven 1102Mar 22, 2017 6:21 am Wow girl, looks just gorgeous!!!

I knew we had dark flooring. I may have forgotten how dark it was. However matched with the white walls, pendants and our furnishings I think it was a good choice. particularly for a busy family and not showing up dirt lol.

GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 viewtopic.php?t=83643 Re: Our first build: "Bridgewater" by Gj's Shoalhaven 1109Mar 30, 2017 2:36 pm Hey darls. It was meant to be today but trades have put us behind. We have PCI tomorrow and keys/move in next Friday. The builder has been very apologetic and have arranged a few extra things for us including a special lunch for hubby and myself together. That's on Monday. They appreciate our patience and we feel ok knowing our patience has been recognized. - otherwise known as Kym - Re: Our first build: "Bridgewater" by Gj's Shoalhaven 1110Mar 30, 2017 2:39 pm However we've got a few little pics from the street Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ - otherwise known as Kym - Re: Our first build: "Bridgewater" by Gj's Shoalhaven 1111Mar 30, 2017 7:23 pm Good luck for PCI tomorrow lovely!!!

Are the blue stickers just for paint touch-ups? I got the free standing cooktop/oven as well, are you planning to cover the bottom? I am looking for an option to cover it so I don't need to worry about things getting under and cleaning... Re: Our first build: "Bridgewater" by Gj's Shoalhaven 1116Mar 31, 2017 1:44 pm Charli - yep very happy. It's all just the little tid bits now. Cleaner turned up as we were leaving. The outside painting will be done on Monday. Thanks Reg. Yep paint touch ups. And the one on the kitchen cupboard is a big scratch in the door. And that's the replacement for the previously scratched door. This kitchen place really are a special kind of person . Anyway it's all being sorted. I'm not entirely sure Reg with the cover either. I was looking at that today and was visioning myself on my hands and knees to clean under it. If you find something be sure to let me know. I think at this stage I'll see how we go. - otherwise known as Kym - Re: Our first build: "Bridgewater" by Gj's Shoalhaven 1117Mar 31, 2017 6:41 pm Looks amazing...
