Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Knock Down Rebuild - Henley Reserve (MainVue) - Aegean38 161Sep 21, 2017 7:34 pm Bricks were delivered before the slab in order to make it easier to unload the bricks at the banck. As there is a vast amount of storage there but access will be restricted due to a 3 m gap between the house and existing garage, once the slab is poured I'm in shock of how quick this is moving.

Ah that makes sense. It’s amazing how quickly things started happening. Looking forward to more pics as things progress.

Re: Knock Down Rebuild - Henley Reserve (MainVue) - Aegean38 170Sep 25, 2017 7:30 pm So we made minor modifications to the original plans so thought that I should add what we have updated. We added slider to the theatre Closed off the study Removed the door between the butlers and laundry Removed shelving on the back wall of the butlers so that the upright freezer fits better. Widened and deepened the fridge space Added a tower for 2nd oven (600mm wall oven) and moved the microwave from the island to the tower.

I'm loving the size of the master with the WIR's Looking forward to seeing pics as it progresses. Re: Knock Down Rebuild - Henley Reserve (MainVue) - Aegean38 172Sep 29, 2017 3:05 pm Yeah - it's huge and hubby loves that he gets his own dressing room and no longer has to share. As you can imagine, he gets the smaller one but pay off is that he gets the bedroom with the WIR as his study. That also saves arguments from the kids. I have the study downstairs as I do late night conf calls. The house is getting divided up before we have even build it. I'm thinking that I'm going to be cleaning for the rest of my life but seriously considering having someone come in once a fortnight to do the basics. Not sure what we were thinking with building so big. Kids are telling us that they are staying until they are in their 30's, as there is no reason to move out.

Ha ha, you’ll never get rid of the kids. I’d get someone in just to clean all those bathrooms and powder rooms, lol It looks amazing.

Re: Knock Down Rebuild - Henley Reserve (MainVue) - Aegean38 179Oct 03, 2017 11:22 pm I can't remember if I already asked you Rachel, Are you using a private building inspector for your build? Re: Knock Down Rebuild - Henley Reserve (MainVue) - Aegean38 180Oct 04, 2017 7:35 pm Bri1234 I can't remember if I already asked you Rachel, Are you using a private building inspector for your build? Oh lordy - YES we are using an independent inspector - there is no way that I would build without one. I know that the SS have many builds that they are managing and this is my way of "peer reviewing" what is being built. I just don't have the knowledge to do this. We are using Darbecca. We were lucky in that our old house was so small (86 square metres) compared to the new house, they were able to take enough readings around the old backyard house before… 8 24735 The biggest challenge will be if you take out a loan and then run out of money - you'll have an incomplete security and lenders do not like this so you can get stuck.… 2 13470 Hi, I am looking into doing a KDR in Melbourne and am contemplating using Kialla Homes.
