I can't see your pics ☹️ Re: Building the Simonds Palisade in Gippsland 185Jul 06, 2017 9:45 pm Oooooh I can see them now... beeeaaauutiful, love your selections Re: Building the Simonds Palisade in Gippsland 186Jul 06, 2017 10:29 pm Thanks Marshall That's what I'm scared of happening! Our ss has given us the mid august date but our "my simonds" says 26th July. I think I'll give notice when we have a pci booked. That way we will have a better indication of how long it should be. Building the simonds palisade in gippsland Re: Building the Simonds Palisade in Gippsland 187Jul 11, 2017 4:41 pm Ok so not too happy with the colour of the caulking in the expansion joints what's your opinions? I was under the impression it'd be the same colour as our mortar or at least not booger yellow. I guess they were trying to match the colour of the bricks. Also the OH isn't happy with how narrow the driveway was but that's our own fault for not checking that. Whoops.

It sucks because you can't actually park two cars on it and the crossover is only a single width. I don't actually know how you'd go about manoeuvring two vehicles in and out of the garage.

Oh for some reason I didn't see this?! Thanks for your reply you're right about the driveway it's pretty standard. It's just annoying you can't park 2 cars there, just means we'll have to get a shed so we can actually park our cars in the garage where they belong haha we may even extend the driveway it if it's really annoying. Building the simonds palisade in gippsland Re: Building the Simonds Palisade in Gippsland 193Jul 20, 2017 7:09 pm We are slowly but surely getting close to the end! I'm so excited to see it almost complete. We have PCI booked for the 3rd (two weeks) they have already started "stickering" all the paint touch ups and all that's left to be done is install hot water system, fly screens, kitchen sink and garage door.

How long was it between pci and handover for everyone else? Ours was two weeks but that was purely because of the taps and fly screens that were stolen. Good luck, hope it goes well!!!
