I like the gum personally and the first driveway color:) Thank you. I agree with you on the gum and driveway. Oh so many choices . Re: Cascade Q1 - Henley Homes with Mods 144Sep 07, 2017 7:18 pm Had NHP last Thursday, the finishes look great(darbecca said cosmetically the place is well finished) but there were a few things identified by Darbecca. The main issues identified were floors out of level in the hall - SS said they will rip up and fix, drainage to zero lot boundary - asked for a written guarantee this won't void my structural warranty and front door out of plumb - SS agreed to fix. The other issues are fairly minor like rubbish in the gutters and my SS has agreed to action all items. I will hopefully be getting keys next Friday. Finalised concreting and blinds/shutter quotes. I'm getting plantation shutters for my master(same colour as timber window stain) and living(silk white to match architraves). The 3 other bedrooms will be getting roller blockouts with matching pelmets and the teenage retreat will have double roller with pelmet. All up I have spent $15k on concreting and window furnishings, so glad I budgeted 30k - 40k for post build stuff. It still hurts though. My cousins OH is a landscaper, he coming to have a look and give me a quote hopefully it's not as painful as the concrete. My current home was auctioned on Saturday and passed in on a vendor bid, an offer that was 10k over reserve was made within 2 hours and contracts signed. So stressful, I'm glad it's over.

Your house is looking gorgeous!!! I love the bathrooms and kitchens, your colours are great together. I love the front colours too, the light coloured roof is awesome, I wish I went with one of those. Good news on your old house, but sounds super stressful!! Glad I didn't have to do anything like that. Ouch on that quote!! But good thing you had funds set aside. It will look amazing once its all done, your window dressing ideas sound a treat I love my shutters, even though expensive.

I agree totally about the shutters they are expensive but worth it IMO. Re: Cascade Q1 - Henley Homes with Mods 148Sep 16, 2017 6:46 pm So I had PCI on the 31st of August and still no word on a handover date. Most issues have been fixed but the floors need to be relaid once the levelling stuff has dried, drainage installed adjacent to garage and plaster/paint needs to be redone around the fixes. I just wish they could give me a date so I can let my driveway and blinds people know. Hit the shops today to cheer myself up and bought a lounge from Nick Scali Spring sale. I have been looking at lounges for over six months and been so indecisive can't believe I finally manage to choose one. The 12 week delivery period sucks, I was going to put the old lounge in the teen retreat so we will be sitting on beanbags for a while. Here is a pic of the display mine will be a different colour.

Re: Cascade Q1 - Henley Homes with Mods 152Oct 04, 2017 6:01 pm I finally have the keys , it's been 4 1/2 weeks since PCI. It took forever for some trades to come back and fix their work. I'm so glad I used Darbecca. Driveway will be getting started on Sunday and blinds installed next week. Time to start packing .

I wondered where you had gone. So happy for you DD Wow, that is a long wait from PCI to handover. Hope moving goes smoothly for you!!! Thanks Dawn . It was a long time between PCI and handover but I'm glad that they fixed all the issues. Re: Cascade Q1 - Henley Homes with Mods 155Oct 16, 2017 5:03 pm I'm slowly getting closer to moving in. Busy week; blinds were installed in the minor bedrooms, driveway poured, acid washed and sealed, I put together my bar stools with an Allen key and started to move smaller items and boxes. I'm really happy with how the driveway turned out. There is still so much to do (and spend).
