Thanks Sharee - I'm sure it's not going to be much fun trying to keep the place clean though! Michelle I’m sorry jooliet….I haven’t had time to look over your plans. No worries Michelle! gweluphome Jooliet when do you think building will start? Have you got costings and inclusions etc back from your builder. We received quotes from a few builders and have narrowed it down to one. We've already got DA and CC - So now it's a matter of finalising the contract and then hopefully we'll get cracking in the next month or so! Just can't wait!

After a bit of tweaking hopefully into council and then we can draw up working drawings and then back to council and then hopefully we will start something by Chrissie.
What a long drawn out process.....but we new it would take 6 months from the architect to start time. It will then probably take 12months to build....... Thanks for the compliment on my boys photo by the way..... How very exciting, you should be starting well before chrissie then? Re: Exterior Colours 32Sep 05, 2008 8:47 pm We actually started seeing our architect last June! So it has taken us 18 months to get where we are now!
We bought our land in April 2007 and initially we had hoped to be done by March this year, all ready to move in time for our wedding... little did we know!!! My goal is to get the slab in by Christmas!... more realistic expectations this time! Re: Exterior Colours 33Sep 05, 2008 9:14 pm On the separate toilet issue.. I have put my separate toilet into the main bathroom because I prefer a nice big open bathroom and I just prefer to use the toilet in a nice open room rather than the tiny box it was on our plans. Also our plans didn't have a basin in the separate WC so we would have had to add one and we preferred to just make a nice big main. It's also useful to have somewhere to sit undressing the kids or reading the paper while they're in the bath!
I also noticed how far your powder room was from the guest bathroom, that was the first thing I noticed. You could fit a tiny ensuite in there if you wanted, for such an amazing house I think it would be worth it. The shower off the powder could become a walk in linen in the laundry. Could you split that storage room so that you still have a place for shoes and coats near the entrance? Agree that it's a fantastic house!
