Not sure if/when I need to call and get it connected or if it is.... I haven't done a variation or anything. The appliances get fitted after plumbing which is due next week. We have gas cook top and gas hot water. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The exposed salt and pepper aggregate driveway has been hosed. Happy with the colouring. But not happy with the section that connects to the road.... instead of running off the nicely rounded gutter, there is a lip.

Looking good DD I like your appliances and tapware. Everything is looking great. I am so excited about these things - bathtub! Stove/oven! Dishwasher!! Our last place had basic oven that was either really hot or off. I couldn't even fit in the bathtub and never had luxury items like dishwasher or aircon. We are not going to even know ourselves!

I'm excited for the exact same reasons. Mum and dads (since I was 2), no air con, poor heating, no water pressure, no decent stove/oven, never had a dishwasher... argh so excited D Will be like staying at a fancy hotel.. except FOREVER Re: Building with Homes by CMA - Ascot 260 174Jul 12, 2017 4:48 pm So its just dawned on me that I won't get a chance to see my house now until scheduled PCI (26 July). This makes me sad. I hope it makes the grand reveal all that much more exciting! We are still awaiting further information from the neighbours regarding the retaining. Hopefully we hear from then soon so we can get our landscaping sorted and get the yard cleaned up. Place was looking like a bomb hit last time I saw it. ~~~ waiting patiently~~~~ Building in Stone Ridge with CMA - Follow my build: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=85842 Re: Building with Homes by CMA - Ascot 260 176Jul 14, 2017 8:39 pm The splashback tiles have been done today. The kitchen, pantry and laundry were a little darker than I remembered. Kitchen and pantry blend well because of the cabinetry and appliances. Laundry is a bit bold so hopefully it dulls down a bit once the washing machine and dryer go in.

Not as in your face as the others.
