Browse Forums Building A New House  14 Aug 2010 2,100 QLD Gold Member 1 Sep 04, 2016 5:07 pm Hi everyone! We are preparing to build with Coral for the second time. We built the Stradbroke 5 years ago and are in the process of selling it (under contract). We have bought a 4053sqm block in New Beith forest estate. Today we paid our deposit for the soil test and for our plans to be drawn up. We have heavily modified the Cloncurry 37, chopping off quite a bit. We started with the coolum 30 (modified) then went to the longreach 33, which didn't quite work for us. We finally have a plan that works for us  Our rough modified plan is below.Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ For some reason it keeps rotating. Anyway, you get the general idea Preparing to build Modified Cloncurry with Coral Homes. Previous build in 2011 - Coral Homes Stradbroke. Re: Building modified Coral Cloncurry on acreage, New Beith, 2Sep 04, 2016 5:26 pm That's is a great plan. I love acreage builds. Are you putting your own outdoor area on later after handover? It's huge. Have you made any colour selections or upgrades yet?? View topic Milestone coral homes modified stradebroke 32 14 Aug 2010 2,100 QLD Gold Member Re: Building modified Coral Cloncurry on acreage, New Beith, 3Sep 04, 2016 5:39 pm We are going to have a huge timber deck and will fo with a stratco style patio roof. The back of the house looks down towards bush and the sun sets right behind the block, so we are looking forwards to kicking back out there and enjoying the sunset We will also deck outside the master bedroom and will put a spa pool out there. We have literally (2 hours ago) made the preliminary deposit, so we will wait until a quite and the plans come in before deciding on upgrades etc. We don't even know how big the house is, we changed it so much lol. We are getting the elegance upgrade. At the special price, we would be silly not to. It had a lot of the upgrades we added in with our Stradbroke and love. I have a good idea of what colours I want. I love a nice, white kitchen, so will go with that again. I like the timber look tiles, so will have them for the main flooring. I want to go grey on our walls. We went white last time and while they look nice, they were a pain to keep clean. Re: Building modified Coral Cloncurry on acreage, New Beith, 4Sep 04, 2016 6:29 pm I would say it's going to be big, we were the same after building last time which is similar to your plan, I just went basic so this time we made sure to get as many upgrades as possible. Is the flooring deal still on? I went white on white this time so hopefully it's ok it has a blue tint to it which I love cause I think it will go well with our grey tiles. I lost my nerve and we decided to stick to the White kitchen last time we got talked in to adding colour and it got old quick. They say you have to build three times to get it right but I am not going through this again Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This was our inspiration View topic Milestone coral homes modified stradebroke 32 Re: Building modified Coral Cloncurry on acreage, New Beith, 5Sep 04, 2016 7:14 pm Lovely, I really like the flow of the plan  Build thread http://tinyurl.com/llgc7yk 14 Aug 2010 2,100 QLD Gold Member Re: Building modified Coral Cloncurry on acreage, New Beith, 6Sep 04, 2016 7:20 pm  MilestoneI would say it's going to be big, we were the same after building last time which is similar to your plan, I just went basic so this time we made sure to get as many upgrades as possible.

There is just somethig about a crisp white kitchen! Not sure what we will do for the splashback. I would like a silver glass one, but it will all depend on what our quote comes in at. A lot will depend on the soil tests. We were the opposite - we went all out with our stradbroke and spent heaps on upgrades. This time I want more simple, but stylish. 14 Aug 2010 2,100 QLD Gold Member Re: Building modified Coral Cloncurry on acreage, New Beith, 7Sep 04, 2016 7:21 pm  Bigblock7Lovely, I really like the flow of the plan Thank you It took a while to figure the plan out. Our coral sales guy has been so patient with us. We kept chopping and changing.Re: Building modified Coral Cloncurry on acreage, New Beith, 8Sep 04, 2016 7:27 pm We went the kitchen upgrade and the glass splash back was included it's the same as the tiles dark grey but mind u it's the only colour in the house  when I added I up the waterfall and polar silk finish cupboards with pot draws etc it was pretty similar View topic Milestone coral homes modified stradebroke 32 14 Aug 2010 2,100 QLD Gold Member Re: Building modified Coral Cloncurry on acreage, New Beith, 9Sep 04, 2016 7:43 pm I love the waterfall edges, but I don't think we can afford it this time around.

We are just finalising the plans. We got the first draft back but we have sent it back for a few minor changes. The main change is swapping the activity room and the bedroom 2. We will use the activity room as the media room. I will be starting up a home based business and will be using the media room for that. Getting excited though! Settlement on our current house (coral stradbroke) goes through the monday after next, so we are moving into a rental. We couldn't find anything big enough for all our stuff so we have had to get a storage shed too lol.

We initially thought our boundary was in front of the trees. It was confusing because there were so many pegs. We were so excited to realise our boundary pegs were 20 metres into the bush lol.

I bet you can't wait. Can't wait to see your colours It is huge, but funnily enough, we still had trouble fitting it on the block. Because it is so long. We were going to build the Longreach, but it was too long. Hence why we have modified the cloncurry plan. I can't wait to do my colours. I have a good idea of what I want and have heaps of inspiration photos saved on my phone, tablet, and computer lol. 14 Aug 2010 2,100 QLD Gold Member Re: Building modified Coral Cloncurry on acreage, New Beith, 18Oct 22, 2016 7:40 pm  charlibearYay, I wondered what happened to you!

Re: Building modified Coral Cloncurry on acreage, New Beith, 19Oct 22, 2016 7:44 pm It's crazy long I was trying to add it up, you might need to invest in skates to get from one side to another, is it nearly 30 metres  if you need to get any prices before your apps let me know....

Have your kids picked there rooms yet?It is very long! The house we are in now is 25 metres and that seems really long lol. I was standing at the front door today trying to imagine how long the new house is going to be. Our kids have chosen bedrooms 2 and 3. Our youngest wanted the one furtherest from the toilet. People walk past his room after leaving the toilet and in his words "it is awkward making eye contact with someone after they have just taken a crap" lmao. Hence why the toilet is buried away in a powder room away from the bedrooms. Our kids are 21 and almost 18. They are both studying, so will be at home for a while. Hi, as per the subject. Does anyone have any recommendations for the best value decking oil (Bunning is close to where I live) for a treated pine deck?
