Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Custom build - BRISBANE - First home 21Aug 04, 2017 8:33 am Loving all of your selections gr8ly !! I particularly love the sound of your kitchen - with the separate colours for bottom and upper cabinetry. I'm kinda wishing we went for dark bathrooms.... it was our initial plan but we struggled to find dark tiling. Excited to see yours come to life! Re: Custom build - BRISBANE - First home 22Aug 04, 2017 6:18 pm Thanks Stacey Hopefully everything goes together as well as it does in my head- We are super anxious to get our plans to council... still waiting for our final plans to come through Re: Custom build - BRISBANE - First home 26Aug 21, 2017 5:50 pm bank Great selections! I love your kitchen/butlers/laundry arrangement, it's perfect in my eyes! thanks bank it was probably the biggest change we made to the original plan. Hopefully it works well in reality. I liked the idea of entering the house (from garage) through to the laundry so it then becomes a bit of a mud room. Although we did sacrifice a bit of space having the laundry as a walkway... We eventually had to request a slim line sink so we get everything in there. Re: Custom build - BRISBANE - First home 27Aug 22, 2017 9:02 am Good to see you started a thread.

Hopefully in a month... although i keep saying that... we actually bought the land on impulse as we were looking closer to the city but on a narrower lot, but really liked the estate, and decided to get one of the larger ones - 16m frontage... we have two dogs so it will be nice to give them a bit of a yard.

One of our dogs is a bull mastiff bull Arab who needs a lot of room. The other is a little princess -Japanese spitz who happily lives indoors. You might have seen us go for walks on occasion haha Custom build - BRISBANE - First home 35Aug 27, 2017 6:22 pm gr8ly zacherine Following hope to see you cut ground soon!!

Think we went through 3 "final" plans coz they kept missing things this will be number 3 for us as well - the first one was completely wrong! Re: Custom build - BRISBANE - First home 39Sep 10, 2017 7:06 pm Tribe7 Hey Gr8ly, Great colours selections and a lovely looking floor plan, big fan of bold exterior colours. Looking forward to following along, hope you get the final plans through soon Thanks tribe7 we got the plans on friday, but still mistakes plus a few dramas with estate requirements, so hopefully this week will be the week to finally sign-off. fingers crossed. Re: Custom build - BRISBANE - First home 40Sep 10, 2017 7:58 pm Get that red pen out gr8ly and write on the plans exactly what you want, attach photos or any other visual markers to help drafting (plus if it gets your plans correct sooner then happy days) I'm hearing you with estate requirements our septic system for our estate requirement seems to baffle most. I ended up getting Talyex to email the builder . Crossing fingers for you, it's a very exciting stage. Wait to you get a loo delivered to site, seems crazy now but when it shows up it's like Christmas because it means the builders are coming 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 34273 6 55355 So it looks like we finally have some movement on site! Definitely later than expected, but I'll take any progress at this point. I'll drop by over the weekend to get… 5 27739 |
