Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Custom VALECO build - BRISBANE 208May 11, 2018 7:14 pm Joggles We've been in for a week and have boxes everywhere. Fighting a battle with NBN connection currently! Also trying to get the multitude of things that needed fixing by Dixon contractors 'fixed'. Loving the view. We've also decided to put in plantation shutters across the main kitchen, dining and living area instead of curtains/blinds etc. Have a bit of a wait because of the late decision but we wanted to see what would best work before making the call. Will post up some pics once the NBN debacle is sorted. Working on slowest speed ever to just do this. haha oh no, i can imagine! i wonder what our estate will be like for NBN.. I don't know how i would survive without a strong internet connection. I would up my phone data plan i think. plantation shutters will look amazing, yet still let in light. Glad that you're in already! we are a good few months off that. Re: Custom VALECO build - BRISBANE 210May 25, 2018 9:58 pm Thanks Tribe7 will do a quick visit tomorrow and give you an update. Garage door is in, but not sure cladding is finished. I would be very very surprised if cabinetry is even close to starting. They seem to do one thing at a time. Staircase went in, but will need to be fixed up - completely misunderstood what we wanted. Anyway fingers crossed we have some positive progress and not feel like we are going backwards. Re: Custom VALECO build - BRISBANE 211May 25, 2018 10:25 pm Gosh I don’t know how you haven’t pulled all your hair out yet. If each task is done well you don’t mind but to install your staircase completely wrong is a bit rough. I’m looking forward to seeing the pics, that entry void is amazing Re: Custom VALECO build - BRISBANE 212May 26, 2018 8:15 am gr8ly Thanks Tribe7 will do a quick visit tomorrow and give you an update.

I haven't been able to take any photos, because we've been locked out 2 weeks in a row.. we got this back from our S/S . Something is happening. We've been told they will be going over contract.. we are supposed to be moving in this month, but they are at least 3 months away from finishing. Still hard to imagine how the kitchen will look without the floors and stone, but i do like the finish Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Custom VALECO build - BRISBANE 216Jun 06, 2018 8:40 pm gr8ly Thanks staceyrussell it's a night of uber eats of guilt-free fast food haha.

Is your late damages $50 per day? sent you a pm there's a massive question mark regarding time... i can't wait to see our house finished period. lol. Many houses in the new stage that has just opened are already near completed... sucks watching every house in the estate overtake us. oh well.

Re: Custom VALECO build - BRISBANE 219Jun 08, 2018 10:18 pm thanks breebarter - will look very different again once the stone goes in. I really want to get in there and make sure there are no other mistakes being made lol Re: Custom VALECO build - BRISBANE 220Jun 08, 2018 10:22 pm gr8ly thanks breebarter - will look very different again once the stone goes in. I really want to get in there and make sure there are no other mistakes being made lol I know what you mean, being locked out is the hardest ever. I have been able to sus out mostly what times our SS goes to our house - usually Friday afternoons, so sometimes we are able to catch him and he lets us in. Everything will be fine, it’s a shame they have made so many mistakes but hopefully they start to pick up the slack now. Have they fixed everything that was meant to be done? I'd get the gutters to match your roof and pipes to match the paint - otherwise they become a feature. Nice pick with the paint colours! 1 34269 6 55346 So it looks like we finally have some movement on site! Definitely later than expected, but I'll take any progress at this point.
