Re: Sunandstars Build - GJ Gardner Hervey Bay - Beachlands 2 46Sep 23, 2016 7:44 am Haha! It takes a lot of will power believe me!! I actually haven't been for a whole week because they have put this protection stuff on the back sliding stacker doors to stop them getting scratched so I can't see in anymore!! I'm gonna go around this afternoon after work to see if the wood cladding and eaves have been finished and any tradies are there to let me in! Though, Friday afternoon, I'm not holding my breath! I got the Fixing stage invoice last night, so I'm hoping their done! These are some photos I took last week: Tiles! Their a bit dusty, but basically the left colour if the main floor tile/backsplash/main bathroom and the right one is for the ensuite floor/niche Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I really wish they would move the crates, they are always in the way of my front shots!!

So excited!!! Re: Sunandstars Build - GJ Gardner Hervey Bay - Beachlands 2 47Sep 23, 2016 8:17 am That is some great progress - less than 2 months since the slab was poured to this - WOW! Looking great. Giving me some hope that we may make it in time for Christmas (bricks/plaster stage).

We are still trying to find the one Re: Sunandstars Build - GJ Gardner Hervey Bay - Beachlands 2 50Sep 25, 2016 2:50 pm Thanks!! It's so hard to come to a decision isn't it!! I fell in love with a similar one in bunnings but the glass had a Amber tint to it and didn't think it would suit the grey/black kitchen. I deperstely wanted one with clear glass but couldn't find any. Went back and forth between Bunnings and Beacon Lighting until I decided on this one http://www.beaconlighting.com.au/lunar- ... smoke.html Good luck in your search! Re: Sunandstars Build - GJ Gardner Hervey Bay - Beachlands 2 51Sep 25, 2016 4:51 pm Your house is looking amazing - you must be stoked. Really like how your feature tile in the bathrooms came up - ours is the same style, slightly different colours. Fridge looks great too - we've got our eye on that one as well. Re: Sunandstars Build - GJ Gardner Hervey Bay - Beachlands 2 53Oct 06, 2016 6:02 pm I missed your update but holy wow your build is flying!!! It looks stunning GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 viewtopic.php?t=83643 Re: Sunandstars Build - GJ Gardner Hervey Bay - Beachlands 2 54Oct 06, 2016 6:22 pm Thanks heaps guys!! I'm in love but I think I'm a bit biased :p I went around yesterday and it's all sheeted up for the painting. But there's a 4mm gap at the edge of the Windows between the clean window and the coating they out on it to protect it from scratches and I could see the paint colour on the walls! I had to put my face just right to see it, I looked like a freaking creeper haha! But super happy!!! And oh yea... I HAVE A FREAKING HANDOVER DATE!!! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Practical Completion 26/10, handover 2/11!! Re: Sunandstars Build - GJ Gardner Hervey Bay - Beachlands 2 55Oct 06, 2016 6:25 pm Omg how soon is that?! You build felt like it started 4 weeks ago haha. You have PCI for the end of the month and here I am losing hope for a slab by the end of the month haha. What wall colour did you chose?

GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 viewtopic.php?t=83643 By Handover it will be just a few days over 3 months exactly since the slab went down! I am so blown away! I just hope with how quick they are being, they are doing a good job haha! I went with Earth Child for the internal paint colour. Surely your approvals will be coming by tomorrow and then the ball can actually start rolling!!

What a gorgeous colour!! We are boring and went with lexicon half lol. I am hopeful for approval tomorrow GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 viewtopic.php?t=83643 Re: Sunandstars Build - GJ Gardner Hervey Bay - Beachlands 2 59Oct 13, 2016 7:34 am Exactly 2 weeks until PCI! Dropped off my pendant lights and was able to take a few photos hear and there. There were over 10 tradies working so didn't want to get in the way so couldn't get many. Went back after work and managed to get my camera to take a photo between the glass of my lights. Soooooo happy!!!

Not long to go. May I ask why you chose not to use GJ Gardiner? I'm actually meeting with one of the sales guys tomorrow for an appointment. Definitely not signing anything yet… 3 13234 Thank you so much everyone. 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… 7 17511 thank you! do we need to get this or our builder before we commence new build on the block? 2 10404 |
