We’re having white tiles in the en suite and bathroom floor and walls, the grey feature will continue up the wall in the showers, the white is not floor to ceiling though. Carpets in bedrooms and back hallway, laminate in the main living and front hallway. Sounds lovely. I can't wait to see it come together Re: Our First Home - New Build SA 49Aug 30, 2018 12:03 pm Mrs had to meet the tiler at site this morning, he had laid the tiles horizontal when we requested vertical so he asked us if we were happy with them, he was prepared to redo what he’s done if necessary. But once we saw them we’re happy with them. SS said we are 3-4 weeks off finishing and concrete driveway and paths will be delayed due to backlog of work. He asked if we would be happy to handover prior to the concrete going in which we are but I don’t think our bank will. Gas line was run from the steet this week and SA Power are putting our electric meter in today. Eaves were installed end of last week and the electrician has done a few bits around the place but he is waiting we thing for Jag the kitchen people to come back and modify the island so it can take a power point at the end. Really happy with how it’s looking 😀 Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Our First Home - New Build SA 51Aug 30, 2018 7:13 pm Love your bathrooms. So close now! We've been told the dance for the concreting and the weather next week is making me sad! But our builder is saying that they can write a note to ensure they'll do the covering in after handover for our bank Re: Our First Home - New Build SA 52Sep 01, 2018 5:15 pm Nawsome Love your bathrooms.

But our builder is saying that they can write a note to ensure they'll do the covering in after handover for our bank Yes cannot wait to see them finished, progress seems slow but it really isn’t, we just really want to get in. Can I ask what you’re builder is providing to the bank as reassurance for handover pre concrete ? Our bank (Westpac) don’t seem keen to release final funds without completion of works.

Re: Our First Home - New Build SA 55Sep 15, 2018 1:26 pm Tiler has finished and the painter has finally started yippee. Jag have been back and sorted the island bench ready for the electrician who has also been back and fitted some dimmers. Looking better with some paint on the surfaces.
