Browse Forums Building A New House Hilbert HGWA Build 141Mar 10, 2018 12:51 pm It’s official, we’re locked out cabinets and plumbing due for next week and I think tiling is the following? So excited to see our theatre doors on and all the internal doors on. Here’s some pics: 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: Hilbert HGWA Build 142Mar 10, 2018 2:06 pm Wow they have been very busy, you must be feeling happy about the pace. I love the way your roof holds its colour in the sun, looking awesome 😎 Re: Hilbert HGWA Build 144Mar 15, 2018 11:39 pm Not much fun having to peep through door handle holes hahaha. Hopefully not long until you see the cabinetry. Re: Hilbert HGWA Build 145Mar 16, 2018 10:30 pm Choosy Not much fun having to peep through door handle holes hahaha. Hopefully not long until you see the cabinetry. Hahaha it is not fun at all. Can’t believe I even spotted the bath through the garage door hole but when you’re desperate Re: Hilbert HGWA Build 147Mar 20, 2018 9:39 am Choosy Have you had an update on your cabinetry ? We went out yesterday and there were 20 boxes of flat packs so I think today is the day! Our update from our CL said this week they’ll do the wet area cabinets, garage hardstand, tile screeding and waterproofing.

Not yet just told that our SS will be in touch Re: Hilbert HGWA Build 152Mar 21, 2018 4:36 pm We had a last minute tile meeting today, which was lucky as today is our only day off so I was happy that HGWA could accomodate. Spoke with our SS and reconfirmed our choices and got to walk around inside and look at the cabinets. The main floor tiles look so good! Can’t wait to see them laid.

He thinks it’ll take two weeks for tiling as we’ve choose 900x150 rectified porcelain tiles which are time consuming to lay. Once tiles are complete he estimates 6 weeks to practical completion. Re: Hilbert HGWA Build 155Mar 22, 2018 1:55 am So glad your tile meeting worked out on you day off. PCI end of May sounds reasonable. Re: Hilbert HGWA Build 156Mar 27, 2018 8:43 pm Main floor tiling started today. Love the tile but they have laid them vertically instead of horizontally like we asked doesn’t look bad, just not what we asked so it’s a bit disappointing. Just going to leave it given they’ve been glued onto the slab already.

Re: Hilbert HGWA Build 159Mar 28, 2018 10:14 am We have a similar tile and wanted laid vertically in the hallways but that means by the time you get to the main living area they will be horizontal as you can’t change the direction you are laying them - well you could but it would look odd, maybe that’s what happened with yours? Looks great though! Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 8 2222 thank you! do we need to get this or our builder before we commence new build on the block? 2 4419 Hi, did you get any money from insurance? if you did, does it match what you've already paid the builders? 3 5004 |
