Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building with Aveling in Byford 10May 20, 2013 11:57 am Thanks for the lovely welcome Blond1e! I have already seen so many wonderful ideas on here. I can see myself spending a lot of time on here when I should be doing other things hahaha My Build viewtopic.php?f=31&t=64881 Re: Building with Aveling in Byford 11May 20, 2013 12:53 pm Yes, I'm new to this forum too and I have become an addict already! Kids and housework are being severely neglected! I love how the kids bathroom is accessed from the 2 bedrooms only. No guests will ever need to see their mess! My build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=64437 Re: Building with Aveling in Byford 12May 20, 2013 1:25 pm gorgeous plan! its massive!! only question I've got is: Do you know how deep your fridge will be? is it an issue if it pokes out past the edge of the pantry door? will the door/doors be able to open fully on the fridge? Im guessing they can with the pantry door open but depends on the fridge, Im assuming its a biggy to match the house Re: Building with Aveling in Byford 13May 20, 2013 2:28 pm Hi xxkatxx, yes that was one of my concerns too, but measuring it up it looks like it will stick out only slightly, just enough to open all the way. It will be in the way of the pantry when open, but I figure we can live with it. The kitchen is not set in stone just yet - as you can see we have a blank bit of wall where a door was taken out that we were planning to fill in with more bench space and wall cupboards with microwave reces. Perhaps we could move the fridge on that side... Will have to get out some graph paper see what i can come up with!!

I'll map out a couple of ideas and see how I do. Next thing to worry about is the extra cost!! I know that stone top isn't very cheap.

I look forward to watching your progress, I am in fact building 3 blocks away from yours (in partridge bend). ive never noticed the stairs behind those big blocks are they gonna be clearing some of that bush do you know? Re: Building with Aveling in Byford 17May 20, 2013 11:08 pm Hi speeder89, nice to see someone else in Byford! From what they've said to us (which is not very much) all the area at the back is "future public open area" The stairs will give us access to that area from our backyard. Apparently this is a council requirement. I don't know how much they are planning to clear, I hope they leave some of the trees. But there is a lovely big tree to the side of our land that looks marked for clearing.
