Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Our Forever Home Build 142Jun 22, 2017 10:21 pm Hey guys! So sorry I got home from the walk through and Scentsy(my job) had a sale where I had to get orders for customers done and help my team with the issues they were having with the glitchiest website ever! lol But walk through went great yay, still no go on the bricks our SS is lovely though and his hands are tied so we are moving on and once the gardens go in you won't even see them or we will decide to get them fixed down the track as have extra bricks. but today was good I was dott happy and dotted anything and everything haha This house looks so amazing I am so excited I can not wait to be in there, he said that they get a week to fix everything listed and we should be getting the key on Thursday!! Although I am thinking we need to hold final payment until they are done which means we won't get the keys on Thursday damn it, it's so hard because you think they will fix it all by then but if not and that money has cleared you run the risk of waiting for ages for them to come back and fix what's left. I have lived my the inlaws for 2 1/2 yrs I want out :-p haha so we are thinking of not paying and then calling on tues to see what is left to do and deciding then. Have any of you thought about wether you will hold payment or just trust they will come back in a timely manner? anyway here is an overload of pics like promised haha excuse the black dots, thought I shouldn't put the SS on a public forum without his permission, even though he is mighty attractive ha!

Love the colour choices! Can I ask, how big your garage is and how much the flooring cost? I want to get it done on our garage once we get to that stage. Re: Our Forever Home Build 148Jun 29, 2017 9:28 pm Ezza78 Looks amazing. Are they the Belga grey tiles? Are they matt finish? We have chosen them. What colour/finish are your kitchen cabinets? Bet you can't wait now you can see it built!!! the ones in the living areas are cretement pewter but our ensuite tiles are belga greay matt finish polar white sheen i think :-p Re: Our Forever Home Build 149Jun 29, 2017 9:30 pm allblaqk wow looking good! Love the colour choices! Can I ask, how big your garage is and how much the flooring cost?

You won't know yourself in there, especially after living with the inlaws! Also, that furniture would look amazing with your colours! Don't doubt that at all! Re: Our Forever Home Build 155Jun 30, 2017 8:58 am Wow I've missed so much!!! Congrats on everything, after issues with your first builder I would have sat for hours in disbelief too!! Looks utterly gorgeous!!! Love your home!!!

No worries Congrats on handover! That tone of wood will look lovely! You can change the theme of it depending on how you wanted it styled. Would look great with whites and soft greys or taupe. Or even a splash of light blue. Soft greys and pinks for a scandi look. The choices are endless! Re: Our Forever Home Build 158Jul 01, 2017 8:29 pm Thank you for your advice guys! I am thinking these wood tones with greenery would look nice and want to have a grey, white and blush them in my room when I get around to it. I brought my table yesterday while moving over the phone lol lucky as James Lane had one left in the bug one, we pick it up on Monday yay!!! So we finished most of the move today, so buggered but still feels amazing to be in here <3 we moved all of our stuff yesterday that we have had for 2 1/2 yrs living at the in laws and today we moved all of our stuff we had in our container today, to which we found termites had somehow made their way in.. bye bye all of our nice bed frames but oh well means I can get a new bed when I can afford it right haha sleeping on the floor on our mattress for a while it is :-p Re: Our Forever Home Build 159Jul 01, 2017 9:28 pm Lovely house, I especially like your colours!! I am having a larger slightly marbled tile for our splash back ( in our kitchen) but would have gone for your (kitchen splash back) in the ensuite and laundry if I had have been able to select it out myself! We also have the cretement pewter tile but in our bathrooms/laundry, we have vinyl planks and carpet for the rest. Glad your second builder built your dream home with no issues (other than a few).

Oh awesome! I can not wait to see yours! I couldn't be happier with the choices I made which is good a si was freaking out I made mistakes 😜 So we are loving the house, apart from the dishwasher leaking water every time it's used and the ducted sometimes blows cold air on the heating function 😏 Which I am sure shouldn't be happening?? But everything else is great, I have been majorly stressed though, not sure if I said in here already but when we moved from our last house we put all of our stuff in a storage container apart from the things we needed at the inlaws, so all toys, extra clothes, bed frames, photos pretty much our whole house. Well turns out termites and mood got into the container 😪 And everything had to be throwable out, and I meant pretty much everything 😭 I managed to save some photos and that's about it. Our chest freezer is now dead, our microwave works but smells of mood when on so that has to go, all our pots and pans smell of mood andeven my massive collection of Tupperware. Really gives a new meaning to a fresh start hey😏 But hey apart from that we have a roof over our head and an amazing house and there are way worse off people then me so I am thankful ❤️ Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense.
