Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Custom build on acerage in Ipswich QLD 103Jun 30, 2019 2:50 pm Oh my goodness, what amazing progress. You must be so happy! It looks amazing! With the gable vents...were they something you requested or the builder said you had to have? They do look smaller, but I suppose it depends on the reason they are there...e.g. if it was for energy efficiency or something, you'd have to make sure it meets the requirements...or if it's something you had requested and aren't happy with, that's another matter. Could also depend on if there is an actual size noted on the plan or what the notations are. 1st build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=59376 *New*-2nd build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=70324&p=1154282#p1154282 Re: Custom build on acerage in Ipswich QLD 105Jul 01, 2019 4:37 pm alymei Neighbours have been at it again, now a whs complaint as a tradie did a wee in the paddock... the toilet people haven't been yet but are scheduled for Wed- builder facing a $3600 fine.

What bricks 🧱 did you choose beforehand? Re: Custom build on acerage in Ipswich QLD 108Jul 01, 2019 5:04 pm alymei We chose Blackbutt initially but really pleased with the chiffon. The neighbours have started acknowledging us when we drive up the hill, will be interesting... Have fun with that. We have neighbours from hell at our last house. It was so much fun. Re: Custom build on acerage in Ipswich QLD 110Jul 01, 2019 11:54 pm Yeah it looks great, nothing like a nice warm wall colour. We had something similar in our previous house too.

I like the windows over the benchtops in the kitchen, should give good natural light for those work areas. Are your windows tinted at the front? We used the standard grey toned glass for several of our windows and fairly happy with the light levels still....was a bit nervous they would be too dark --------------------------------------------------------------------- Check our Homeone build blog here Re: Custom build on acerage in Ipswich QLD 114Jul 04, 2019 10:56 am darb74 Looking good.
