Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 21, 2016 4:23 pm Hello all. Have only posted once while looking at colour schemes but now have most of our build sorted - most but still some stumbling blocks. Building in Beechworth, Vic. Have a blog - www.beechworthbound.blogspot.com Our slight horror story is all on there. Look forward to sharing more over the months ahead. Re: Beechworth bound 3Aug 21, 2016 4:47 pm Wow sounds like you have been thru the ringer with your build, Fingers crossed the actual build goes smoothly for you! I love your colours, bummer about the monument roof though, that would have really upset me as my roof and bricks colours werey only non negotiable. We are building not far in Barnawartha but are always in beechworth, its the best chinese in the area lol Re: Beechworth bound 4Aug 23, 2016 8:14 pm Yep - I felt much the same way about the Monument. I had built the house around the roof and I had to get over it and get on with it pretty quickly. There's no point in fighting the system I'm afraid. Wow - you are close. When we're actually there, we must meet for coffee if you're in town. We have a little girl adopted from China so that will be great all round! Do you have a blog at all? Love to read some of your journey! Re: Beechworth bound 5Aug 26, 2016 12:21 pm Yes its hard when you haver something in your mind how something should look and it all changes, no dont have a blog sorry just whats on here. I love the feature tile you have chosen for your bathrooms Re: Beechworth bound 6Aug 30, 2016 7:53 pm Awesome news with the tree! Indigo seem really great to deal with in that regards. We have 1 lovely old gum tree on our block but its way away from the house. I bet your getting excited to finally get your contract signed! Re: Beechworth bound 7Aug 30, 2016 11:21 pm Oh gosh I hope it happens soon! We had to do some floor/wall tiling changes. We thought our floor tiles were 600x600 but they are only 450x450. I wasn't really very happy with them anyway and now that Hadar work with Beaumont Tiles I have SO much more choices! Went in Monday and selected and I'm much happier. Now I'm ready to sign!!! Will let you know when that happens Re: Beechworth bound 8Aug 30, 2016 11:31 pm What a bummer about the tiles, we went to national tiles as thats who Lewis go through, we were really lucky to be honest as we loved the display home interior so went with the same everything lol except the bench top we went with stone. Made our choices easy as we could see the end result. Are you having porcelain tiles? Re: Beechworth bound 9Sep 02, 2016 9:30 am No Sah81 - we're going with rectified tiles for the splash back and the rest are timber look tiles. Will post on the blog when I get a chance.
