Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 17, 2016 12:05 pm Hey everyone ... Have just spent the last few hours reading some of the other Glendale posts, so decided to start my own thread to document the experience. We paid our initial deposit around 4 weeks back on a LE Glendale 45. Not excited about the admin phase - our SC is showing himself to be slack already. We are STILL waiting on a siting plan, never mind a time line for preliminary contracts etc. I've decided to give him a call and/or email today to start lighting a fire under his ***. I'm not prepared to spend 9-12 months in admin. Our land is due to title by January/February 2017 and I want this doneand dusted ASAP so I can focus on my family (3.5 year old and 5.5 month girls). We've been putting together our list of variations and then adjusting as we go to try keep some control on the budget. I was curious about the kitchen appliance bench comments made by others (in particular referring to the length and/or the addition of an appliance tower) so have made hubby drive to Mernda display today. Just waiting for the baby to wake up and in we go, measuring tape in hand!

Would love to hear more about your changes/upgrades etc. Where are you building? As for kitchen appliance bench, we added a microwave/oven tower instead of having them under bench and we also extended the bench across past the island as per the displays. The limited edition version has the back bench stopping in line with the island! Hi, First of all, thank you to this community for sharing your thoughts and opinions.
