Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Rawson Balmoral 38 MK1 - Newcastle NSW 78Feb 12, 2020 9:25 am Week 36 We had our ceilings painted and all doors architraves and undercoat on internal walls. Fortunately we had an appointment booked with our S/S, and luckily we did as we spotted another major mistake which would have been a huge setback if it went unnoticed (before xmas we also noticed they'd missed a large niche in one of the bathrooms which took a bit of work and replumbing etc but thankfully we spotted it before tiles went on!) With our staircase we asked for custom vic ash vertical slats which we'd seen on one of the balmoral 34 display homes in Sydney. Our S/S didn't have the staircase plan and minimal info was on the rawson plans so the carpenter just went off what was on the rawson plans (dwarf wall 1100mm high) but alas the dwarf wall was the wall on the 1st floor not the staircase hence why it looked so out of proportion and not right as soon as I set my eyes on it...

I felt sorry for the chippy he had a few days worth of work there...

Once you install a BBQ add an outdoor dining suite there wouldnt be enough room. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ We also have a 300mm or so drop off the edge of the alfresco, this would be a safety issue if entertaining so my plans are to install a timber deck (blackbutt or spotted gum hardwood) off the side so its flush with the tiled alfresco area and then extend off the alfresco 3000mm to enlargen the entertaining area once handover is done: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ We'd started organising landscaping, furniture, fencing, electrical work, outdoor decking off the alfresco also, the old piggy bank is going to get smashed!

Our S/S thinks end of march early April 2020 handover is on track so fingers crossed Re: Rawson Balmoral 38 MK1 - Newcastle NSW 79Feb 16, 2020 9:45 pm Sorry to hear about your staircase issues.. Rawson need to pay more attention to this area as it seems they often have problems around the stairs. Its a good sign to be looking for furniture! Not long now.
