So convenient to have your driveway already done ready to go! Hope you get to do something nice for fathers day Yep we weren't going to get coral to do it as it was more expensive but convenience won out! Re: First home, Coral Homes, Santorini 25mkII 204Sep 19, 2017 6:21 pm We had had handover today!!! The painter still has to come back and paint above all the window openings and garage etc. He has painted it white instead of monument as he thinks it will look better not your choice not your house! Other than that we are beyond happy! Will slowly move in this week with the main move in day on Saturday. It's my 30th on Friday so we are going to make that our first night in our house Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: First home, Coral Homes, Santorini 25mkII 205Sep 19, 2017 6:50 pm Jessiej We had had handover today!!!

The white is seriously horrific! It's the first thing I see when I drive down our street. Can't believe how quick your build went! So exciting to be moving in this week!

Our official move in day is next Wednesday. I am going to paint the media room and the garage floor this weekend. They guys will be getting ready to start our patio roofing. Very exciting! I love your light colours. We went light for our last house and went dark for this one.

But it will look amazing Re: First home, Coral Homes, Santorini 25mkII 213Sep 19, 2017 9:03 pm Congrats!!! How exciting!!! I wanted above the stackers painted monument too but our SS refused because it wouldn't look good Re: First home, Coral Homes, Santorini 25mkII 214Sep 20, 2017 4:35 am charlibear Congrats!!! How exciting!!! I wanted above the stackers painted monument too but our SS refused because it wouldn't look good It's not their house!! But in saying that I actually don't mind the white above the stackers, it's mainly every where else that sticks out like a sore thumb Re: First home, Coral Homes, Santorini 25mkII 215Sep 24, 2017 6:56 pm Big hot weekend of moving but we have settled in well. Still have a mountain of boxes to sort out in one of the spare rooms but that's a job for tomorrow. Rolled out my new rug today. Still waiting on my bed base to arrive and need to find a couch for my little mans play room. Need to update our fridge one day too!

He painted them white, (because he thought it looked better) when they were supposed to be monument. Looks so much better and now just blends in rather than sticks out like a feature. Didn't get a before photo of down the side but did get a front one.

So ask… 1 4343 Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck.
