With the colour and tile appointment we were able to prepare and choose our selections before the actual appointment however with the Clipsal appointment this was not available so decisions had to be done on the spot. We ended up putting in provisions for down lights and other lighting so we could buy our own and the have electrician install for cash. In saying that , with extra power points etc etc etc we ended up spending $2218 extra. And still need to buy our pendants fans and Dow lights etc. Hoping beacon have a sale after Xmas for these items.

They go on 3 weeks break now so won’t have a slab till half way thru January. The site supervisor was hoping to pour today but due to the weather this isn’t happening. All good though. Re: Longreach 33- Our country home 16Dec 27, 2018 4:31 pm HI Forever Rosehill, we designed our own facade as we didnt really like any of the coral facades. We have a portico that comes out about 1.8 metres and 2.1 metres wide. We are having 2 x 140mm stained timber posts which will match the front door. Once we have handover ,we are building a deck out to the eaves. Are you building in Rosehill estate too?
