Hello all,
Now that our build is finally starting, just thought I'll share our journey with H1 as this place has been a great resource for ideas and inspirations. Hopefully our thread will help others with their selections down the track.
This will be our second build with WH and this time around, we're building the Manhattan 39 (now 42).
We have customised the layout a little on the ground floor. HT extended into leisure, wall between leisure and rumpus removed and made outer wall of leisure in-line with rumpus wall.
Below are our plans.

Thanks MrsJM, your house is stunning. Maybe we can do a swap? haha
So exciting that your build is kicking off. I already loved all your selections but seeing them all in one spot at the same time like that, wow!!! It's going to be a stunning home. Can't wait to see everything come to life for you.

And we're off..
Dirt delivery was a few nights ago.
Today I dropped by the site to have a look and was surprised that fencing, portaloo and site has been scrape, even with the rain the last few days.
Yay for dirt!

https://ourwillowdalehome.wordpress.com/Thanks JM, yours shouldn't be too far behind us..
Cant wait to see your house also..
Thanks JG. yeh we decide to go with neutral colours to start off, then can add colours afterwards in certain areas as needed.
Would have loved to have 5 acres to play with like you.. We wanted a pool but couldn't fit it in.
Your build is looking great.

That's what we did also
Aw hehe. There's always a spa!
Thanks so much!
Went to the land to play with my cheap drone and took these aerial photos, not the best and not very exciting right now. haha
Hopefully should be better once there's more action on the site.

Still cool to get these shots, and as you say will be even better once the construction takes off....
what a great plan.
Your color selection looks stunning. love the staircase and large single sink.

Waiting is the worst. Did you SM contact you for slab date?
Just checked your blog. those staircase lights are way too cool!

No contact from SM yet, I believe no they wont until the slab is down.
Yeh wished we had an opened staircase or the builder was willing to do it.
I'll probably find my own way of lighting the stairs after handover.
Been looking into Tesla Powerwall 2 as we're interested in getting this installed after handover.
Energy Australia now do solar and Tesla Powerwall 2 installs now (previously Powerwall 1).
The best part of this is the payment plan;
Get solar power for $0 upfront on a 5 year interest free payment plan*
That would be pretty good spreading out the payment over 5 years. Has anyone out there taken up this install?

Correct your SS generally doesn't get passed your file until after the slab is correct. From what i was told W use one main contractor to put the slabs. So it just depends on how many pours are in front of yours as to how long you have to wait.
Thankfully once the slab is cured plumbing and frames really take off quickly and them you're away.....
I'm sure it can't come quick enough....
I'm guessing you are just going to miss out on an xmas handover, or is there still some hope? I know W try and wrap up a lot of builds that are close prior to xmas. (Ie put extra resources into these builds that are close)
