Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Internal painting is almost complete, plumbing almost complete, tiling is complete, bathroom glass installed, window and door screens are installed.... We should have had final inspection last week, but its been delayed due to STILL not having power connected! So paving is delayed, finalising electricals is delayed, etc. Apparently it should be done soon..... We're almost there! Re: New Home - Summit Homes 'The Orchard' - Perth SOR 59Sep 26, 2017 11:25 pm I forgot to add an issue that's come up with the airconditioning. When we worked out our house layout, we added a door to the kids wing so it can be closed off. That meant we wanted a second aircon return air vent so that it'll continue to operate properly with that door closed. Since the display plans had the single vent in the kids hallyway already, the additional one was added in the scullery. It was shown in the plan, and allowance was made for it when designing the roofing. However, when we came to organise the aircon install, the aircon company recommended against locating the vent in the scullery due to proximity to kitchen and food smells. That meant that the only place it could actually fit (due to the large size of the vent, and the positioning of all the roof trusses) was in the entry hallway. Fine, great. Easy fix. Until it was installed. Big, ugly "feature".... .

You must be happy with the progress you've made in the last few months! Your kitchen looks awesome -- love the island range hood! We've hit a few hurdles with our build. The scaffolding stayed up longer than planned (due to some unexpected complications with a void), meaning we've probably lost a month. Our ground floor roof cover is going on today, however, so hopefully we can be locked up soon too. Hi there! Putting the feelers out there for those who have (or almost) built with Arli homes!
