Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Newbies toy home - Betty update :) 81Oct 22, 2008 9:42 pm How exciting Newbies, it seems like it has happened so quickly. All of a sudden it looks like a nearly finished house. I am sure Betty is looking forward to having you around full time.
Petal I bet your plantations will look awesome no matter what the cost or wait though. I look forward to seeing those in. Re: Newbies toy home - Betty update :) 83Oct 23, 2008 8:14 am petal Better warn you, newbies, plantations are expensive!!! Just had my blinds quote done today (with some extra plantations added!!! ) Plus, they have a much longer lead time than blinds!!! Your place is progressing beautifully! Hey Petal...yea...we went ages ago to look at plantations and they are expensive!! hehehe....fiance is a perfectionist and likes things to be even and matchy matchy, so i think i may be able to convince him to make everything matchy...hehehhe but then again, i dont mind just having the timber blinds..they are pretty tooo gweluphome, i know! i cant believe how quick its going...although i am preparing myself for it to slow down...cos the inside takes the longest! hehe...i cant wait to be there full time too!!! Thanks Paula! i think once the plantations are in the hole it will look nice Re: Newbies toy home - Betty update :) 85Oct 23, 2008 9:53 am Snake Wow your house is coming along fabulously.

Really need to get things organised now. Can't move in without flooring and that's going to be a bugger at that time of the year.
Plantation shutters are nice. I'm waiting on a quote for a couple. Steve really likes them but I'm more of a sheer/drapes kind of person. We are having Romans downstairs, heavy drapes in the movie room. Still working on the kids Not having sheets though! Happy at Home Re: Newbies toy home - Betty update :) 88Oct 23, 2008 10:35 am ohh woah!!! pre-xmas handover! that would be good, but there would be a lot of organising involved...
we havent thought too much about post handover and all the stuff we have to do...omgosh, and the wedding too! i'll be lucky to have hair after all this!! actually...i've decided i'm going to chop it all off after the wedding...hehehe Re: Newbies toy home - Betty update :) 89Oct 23, 2008 10:37 am Newbies ...i've decided i'm going to chop it all off after the wedding...hehehe I think everyone I know did that - including me! Your house will probably be ready mid Jan! Happy at Home Re: Newbies toy home - Betty update :) 90Oct 23, 2008 1:01 pm Newbies hehe thanks Snake.. have u guys startedyet?
