It’s funny, the priceleader range didn’t have many brick choices and hubby and I both chose this brick saying “this is the only one I don’t hate”. This is now a choice we have really come to love. Most builders seemed to charge more for flush mortar and off white but it was great that Allworth included this as standard. The garage door and front door will be windspray, a light grey so should break up the darkness too and I’m looking forward to seeing that installed Allworth Avalon / Sonata Our Dream Home 98May 25, 2018 10:30 am And because building never goes smoothly we had our kitchens installed on Tuesday and because of where they cut the slab and filled it in is a hump out kitchen isn't level and some parts aren't touching the floor. This was discovered last night when hubby arrived down there to measure for the granite and stone for our stonemason. Now he can't measure until it's fixed Hubby just had a meeting on site with the South Coast Manager and our SS. It was decided Timpelle have to come back take the kitchen off the hump so the concrete can be ground down, then installed again. It's a real shame because other than that I love how it turned out. It wont get damaged fixing it so it will continue to look good. Our floating bathroom cabinets have been installed by them too and are fine. We are just getting the plastic manooga tops and then upgrading to black granite with a New York Marble sink, or a New York Marble bench top with a white porcelain sink, we will decide when we move in.

Then a concreter has spent 4 hours grounding down the concrete to make it flat and Timpelle have put the kitchen back in. The SS and South Coast manager have both called my hubby to let him know it was done and it’s perfect. We can’t check it this weekend but we are going down there for the next one for the long weekend Re: Allworth Avalon / Sonata Our Dream Home 100Jun 05, 2018 2:03 pm SS called hubby yesterday to advise the house will be done by the end of month. The bathrooms are done and painters are due to start next week. They’re just doing the final little bits. We are going down this weekend to measure the kitchen for the stone now that it’s been fixed up. I’ve contacted our concreter and we are all systems go for early July. I am meeting the flooring guy laying our Karndean planks at the house on Friday morning to go over the job with him, the planks are in our second garage ready to go. He will get started once we get the keys too. We have the blinds all made and down there ready to go too. We will have to organise my brother in law and his nephew (both electricians) who are installing the ducted air conditioning and go over the plans with them and see if they can hang my lovely pendants in the kitchen and dining. After that we have to work out what fencing to do and what to do about laying grass as it’s winter and the block is mostly sand yes it does, you've just not understood it. theres a difference. 4 5332 Your house should come in "as new" condition. It should be clean, and without stains 1 4564 We already paid for somfy motors for the blinds. The quote above was purely for “pre-wiring” so the blinds company can install the motors and blinds.
