Browse Forums Building A New House Allworth Avalon / Sonata Our Dream Home - Handover on Wednes 107Jul 08, 2018 7:39 pm Hubby went down for PCI on Wednesday and everything went well, there was half a dozen very minor things like adjust shower door, clean a few bricks etc... I am going down on Tuesday for handover Wednesday morning. I have lined up the driveway to be poured on Thursday, granite and marble going in on Friday, floors to be started on next Monday. Ducted air conditioning, tv antenna and pendant lights are to go in this weekend coming or next, whenever my brother in law can organise it as he’s installing it with his nephew who is also in the trade. As it’s going to be mates rates I’m having 7 zones, including every bedroom on their own zone and 10 outlets including one in my butlers pantry and the bathroom. My hubby has installed plain white light fittings and globes while he was there and we have all the custom blinds ready to be installed down there. I am dreading growing grass on sand in the middle of winter and after doing heaps of research we decided to try and grow a blend of Kentucky Blue Grass and RTF Tall Fescue, I got 5kg of seeds of each. I have a pull cart seed spreader, lots of fertiliser and wetter so hoping it works. Those grasses are only available by seed so I’m hoping for the best, if it doesn’t work we can get TifTuff turf when spring is upon us. I don’t love the idea of getting the house ready and having tenants move in but it’s how it had to be. When we move in at the end of next year we can build our outdoor kitchen, fit out the butlers pantry and swim spa and really make it our own I have some pictures from PCI, I haven’t seen it painted in person but my husband met the painter who told him he really liked the colours.

Had handover on Wednesday 10am and I was there till 5:30 raking 300sqm to get all the rocks and building waste out of the yard, then put fertiliser and wetting agent down, then I chose to hand blend RTF rescue and Kentucky Bluegrass as it’s what should work best on my sandy yard. I put 10kg combined seed down with a spreader, raked it all in evenly and have been watering it daily. On Friday we had the driveway done which looks great but the thing I was most excited for this entire build happened, my stone was installed!!! New York Marble and African Black Granite Saturday was pendant lights in kitchen and dining which I love love love, plus blinds put up through the entire house. Today we put the aerial up and cleaned all the floors to prepare for the flooring guy to start tomorrow and work for the week. After that it’s just air conditioning going in next weekend then dropping off my keys for my dream home to be rented for the next 17 months Allworth Avalon / Sonata Our Dream Home - Handover on Wednes 110Jul 15, 2018 3:29 pm We didn’t bother removing the baton light in the kitchen because when the aircon goes in next weekend I will just get them to put the vent there, that way we won’t need to worry about filling the whole and painting Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Allworth Avalon / Sonata Our Dream Home - Handover on We 111Jul 17, 2018 9:40 pm Vinyl flooring going in this week. It’s not as dark as in the photo, even the walls look a different colour so must be my phone, and covered in dust from the slab but I think it’s looking good Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Allworth Avalon / Sonata Our Dream Home - Handover on We 112Jul 30, 2018 8:54 am Ducted air conditioning completed, I am so glad my brother in law did the job, it meant that I got an awesome 14kw Daikin system and got to put outlets in every room including the butlers pantry and bathroom and got so many zones!!! - one for each bedroom, kitchen/living/dining, pantry, bathroom, media/study Hubby is going down to do the fences on the weekend and we are pretty much done.

Front half of the side fence is colorbond Monument to match the gutters and roof, second half is ARC banksia mesh so we can see the basin from our backyard and it blends in better with the rural area. You’d think it would be less but no, same price as the colorbond Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Starting the process to build with Allworth Homes anyone else build the Wyndham four guest 27 or just the Wyndham four 25 or 27 0 8477 Hi everyone, I'm currently building a new home with Mimosa Homes, and they expect to complete the lockup stage by early September.
