After the tiler finished they came and taped everything up for the painter to start today so I’m not sure when I’ll get another pic but you can be sure as soon as I do I’ll put it up . Got an email today with the dates for the final trades to be booked in and a date for the pci was through 21st June!!!

A deep blue or green. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Our First Dream Home G&P Builders 294Jun 04, 2018 8:05 pm Looks lovely. Teal is my favourite colour. I want to do pops of it and cushions for the lounge It goes with so much and is gender neutral. Your progress has been great to watch viewtopic.php?f=31&t=89059 Re: Our First Dream Home G&P Builders 295Jun 04, 2018 11:40 pm WOW! the front of your house looks so damn amazing, your colour choices have really come together, i'm impressed. It's a great looking house We have gone 1/4 lexicon for our trims, so i'm glad its a blinding white haha. Your place is going to be so light and inviting because of it. Your feature wall is also going to be stunning. I am such a lover of teal, but those two blue walls are really doing it for me, so lovely! Love it paired with the grey Re: Our First Dream Home G&P Builders 296Jun 05, 2018 8:13 am sparrowsnest CC I’m sure you will love your house so much more than mine because it will be all you ❤️ The moment we’ve all been waiting for lol. The misty grey grout.

The tiler said it will dry slightly lighter. The bathrooms are grouted but not siliconed yet.

The laundry and powder kind of look the same but here they are grouted anyway Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I met the wardrobe/shower screen guy on site because we missed choosing our frame colour at selections and apparently the white of their frame and the door option we chose are different whites and I wanted to see them in person. Luckily because the way they had quoted the glass for the ensuite shower screen had a piece of aluminium in the middle where the seat was. The red line is the random piece of black frame.

MrSparrow and I laughed about your morning cow run in Tribe. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before that happens to us. My grandfather was a cattle farmer so I have a little ‘cow experience’ lol. I’ve been tossing up some driveway ideas. We were looking at concreting it ourselves just getting the concrete truck in but the supply cost is at least double that of the supply and install cost of an asphalt driveway. I like the idea of the asphalt because it has that rural look about it and I think it will match the dark facade nicely. But I’ve only done limited research on the asphalt yet. I already have my post hand over list going lol. Is the $2,500 for the pool or just the fence Tribe? Re: Our First Dream Home G&P Builders 297Jun 12, 2018 10:39 pm Thanks guys. CC I stressed over those external colours for ages. As I do for everything lol. I had the boards I painted standing up around my house for months. I’m so happy with how it’s turned out. The painter finished up and the electrician was there bright and early the next day and the plumber started around mid morning. It’s starting to feel like a real house. I’m so excited now to see the flooring go in and really bring it all together.

Re: Our First Dream Home G&P Builders 298Jun 13, 2018 4:00 pm OMG THAT VIEW!!! you really have nailed it with your colour selections, and I know you put so much thinking into it, and it's paid off. I can't wait to see the main flooring go down LOOOOVE the misty grey grout! it really looks nice Re: Our First Dream Home G&P Builders 299Jun 14, 2018 8:45 am Wow SN. Totally agree, beautiful choices and can’t wait to see your flooring!! Re: Our First Dream Home G&P Builders 300Jun 14, 2018 10:38 pm Thanks guys . Still no flooring it’s scheduled for 15-20th so it won’t be long now. I didn’t put up pictures of the front door last time. I’m in love with it. I think I will do a deck entry like allot of the metricon displays I’ve been to, at some point.

Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The cleaner came and did the first clean and everything looks so good I reckon we could just move in. My daughter has finally stopped asking if we are moving in now after each thing is installed. She thought we were moving in when the frames went up. It’s been a long road for the kids. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The shower screens and mirrors went in. I’m a bit disappointed about our ensuite shower screen. Because the door opens away from the bath (which I made sure was on the plan) which the screen people seemed unaware of when I met them on site, the glass on the seat side has to be further in to have the door finish evenly against it. This means that part of the aluminium is against the edge of the niche. It looks better in photos than it sounded when the screen guy called me but still a bit disappointing. He did call and say there was two options; covering the edge of the niche or they will go away and remake it to have the door opening towards the bath. But I can just see one of my kids flinging it open into my beautiful bath and breaking something. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ .

The white matches the windows and just blends in which will hopefully let the kids colour and decor choices shine through.
