Re: First Home - Custom Design in South Ripley - NOW WITH SL 43Jun 23, 2017 8:24 pm gr8ly looks great i find the rooms feel smaller until the walls go up. I would have loved to have the balcony off the bedroom if the budget allowed. we are still waiting for our working drawings... such a drawn out process Thank you I was prepared for everything to feel small but so far i'm pretty happy with it! That sucks, waiting is such a pain, I hope they come quickly. It all take far too long! Re: First Home - Custom Design in South Ripley - FRAMES DONE 44Jun 23, 2017 8:27 pm fleabee86 Holy moly allblaqk that's way out of this world progress can't wait to see the pics with the 2nd floor & roof done Super lucky you're neighbours are building at the same time. I will get some tomorrow, in all our excitement we forgot to take photos! It looks insane, and apart from the house going next to us on the corner its the only double storey on the street so its like WOW when you drive up. Re: First Home - Custom Design in South Ripley - FRAMES DONE 45Jun 23, 2017 9:07 pm Too bad you can't get to the 2nd level (and don't try anything sketchy) at the moment! That would be awesome to see!

Re: First Home - Custom Design in South Ripley - FRAMES DONE 49Jun 24, 2017 5:45 pm how purty ...nice outlook too are there many double-story houses in the estate? Re: First Home - Custom Design in South Ripley - FRAMES DONE 50Jun 24, 2017 5:47 pm gr8ly how purty ...nice outlook too are there many double-story houses in the estate? Thanks gr8ly There are a few, maybe 30% of houses? Some of the blocks of land (mostly corner blocks) are required to have 2 storey houses, depends on where the land is in the estate. On our long street and the one behind there are only 2 others, we will be the 3rd. Re: First Home - Custom Design in South Ripley - FRAMES DONE 51Jun 30, 2017 2:04 pm No updates this week Roof was supposed to go on this week but they haven't even been delivered. Next door has had their land cut, plumbed, and slab laid this week. I took a friend out to see our block today and they had frames getting delivered. Gonna overtake us at this point Re: First Home - Custom Design in South Ripley - FRAMES DONE 52Jun 30, 2017 4:49 pm Still ahead of us lol. Everyone in our estate have started and we are still weeks away Re: First Home - Custom Design in South Ripley - FRAMES DONE 53Jun 30, 2017 4:51 pm Lol true. That's a sucky feeling, bet you can't wait to start! Re: First Home - Custom Design in South Ripley - FRAMES DONE 54Jun 30, 2017 4:55 pm understatement! the process has been so incredibly slow and painful. I'll start a thread as soon as there's something to report Re: First Home - Custom Design in South Ripley - FRAMES DONE 55Jun 30, 2017 4:58 pm It will feel better once you start but again, even one week of nothing feels so slow haha. Let me know when you make your thread as I will follow along Re: First Home - Custom Design in South Ripley - FRAMES DONE 56Jul 01, 2017 10:13 pm Really nice frames!
