Browse Forums Building A New House Re: New build with Redink Madora Bay 121Oct 13, 2017 9:41 pm My plan with this house is to decorate it with beautiful art work. I have the privilege of working with a talented artist and my daughter is a beautiful photographer. I have commissioned some work from both of them. One fortunately is being done for free lol. Here is my first original painting and a photo I took of my daughter out taking photos one evening. Both will be on display in my new house.

Sadly we couldn't get the keys to have a good look but the bathroom cabinets are in as well.

They look a bit like polished concrete. Can’t remember the essastone colour but think it’s light grey. I have a glass splashback in the kitchen. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ .

I have a feature tile but I didn’t get a sample of that. @Madora Dreamer Re: New build with Redink Madora Bay 128Oct 20, 2017 10:23 pm Mrsxtro01 Will look lovely! @Madora Dreamer New build with Redink Madora Bay 129Oct 24, 2017 9:15 pm So went to visit today. Ceilings are painted and the painter was there doing all the cutting in. I have also listed my current house for sale. I have been working really hard to get it ready so hoping it will sell quickly so I can move on.

The kitchen is massive and looks fab!! The essastone went in yesterday and it’s been painted. I have my tiling meeting this afternoon @Madora Dreamer New build with Redink Madora Bay 132Oct 27, 2017 5:31 pm So I met with the SS today, the house is looking fantastic. I dropped my lights off for the electrician. Asked what chance I had of being in by Xmas....and he thinks yes as my main tiling is being done after handover. I cannot imagine Xmas in there but how exciting!

We have been told the 20th December. I am hoping it might be a week earlier but will depend on how quickly our tiles get finished. Going to be very busy just before Xmas with moving etc! I am working a 12 hour shift on Xmas Day so bit miffed I won’t be able to celebrate it in our new house but pool will go in on the 5th January so that will be a time to enjoy!

I think it will be a race to the finish line! He hopes to give me a date next week once the tiling starts. @Madora Dreamer Re: New build with Redink Madora Bay 135Oct 27, 2017 10:10 pm I've been very interested in watching houses at similar stage to us in the area. It seems there is not a set order of works. There is a house just down the road from us that has been neck and neck with us the whole way. But when we had windows in first then gyprock on the walls, they had plaster done first then the windows went in. We're up to tiling but render is not painted and no paving, but they have their render painted and paving done but no tiling! As long as it is all done in the end all will be good but it has been fascinating to watch and compare. Who is your SS?? New build with Redink Madora Bay 136Oct 27, 2017 10:18 pm He is called Dave, a nice guy and has been with Redink for a while. My next door neighbour had their slab down the same week and they are miles behind me now. The roof has only just gone on. The house across the road was having the brick work done when I chose my land are still not in. They must be close as the fences have gone in and they have a letter box! That was 8 months ago. @Madora Dreamer Re: New build with Redink Madora Bay 138Nov 11, 2017 7:45 pm Did a quick drive by today as I hadn’t been for 2 weeks. The electrical fittings are in, taps and the pavers have arrived for the path and garage. Kitchen is in except for the dishwasher. Couldn’t get a decent photo unfortunately. @Madora Dreamer Re: New build with Redink Madora Bay 140Nov 11, 2017 10:31 pm Mrsxtro01 You are galloping ahead of me now, Madora Dreamer! I am still wallowing in week 4 of tiling! PCI date yet?? This is the beach at the end of my street, only 100m away Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ . I still cannot imagine I will be able to stroll there every single day! @Madora Dreamer Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense.
