Just to add to above - I noticed cryptic crayon writing on the floors directly opposite each power/speaker/data point, written on the slab on ground floor, and onto the wood floor on 1st floor. But then, as the build progresses, the writing gets muddied up... but as Vatche says, it's all on the plan, and as long as you stuck to standard heights and fittings at the colours stage, you'll be all good. Peace! Even though it was correct on the plan, and markings were there, AND I visited the site often, I still ended up gatting 2 power points at the wrong locations, which is annoying. Not sure how I missed them SO, check and double check the location of the power points, data, TV and lights. Re: Masterton Homes - The new thread 3.0 3018Jul 16, 2013 1:53 am Hey Everyone, sorry it has been so long but the dramas of getting phone and Internet happening have been ridiculous! We are in our place now and loving it. A few minor things still to be sorted out but generally we couldn't be happier. Although if a magic box fairy could come and unpack everything and find a home for it for me that would be awesome - we are struggling to understand where all the stuff used to fit in our old much smaller house! Things are really moving along on so many builds now - I can't believe how much has happened in just three weeks! We were really lucky in that all our appliances, flooring etc was all finished off prior to handover ( I think the appliances are part of the final approvals) so we haven't had those delays to being able to move in. Jo&Waz thanks for the recommendation of the paper blinds while waiting for your window fixtures - they are amazing and really do make a difference while looking visually far more appealing than sheets would have! Will put up some pics once the boxes are gone (or reduced at least!

Lots of boxes and lots of staff to unpack. How the h-e-l-l did we all fit them in our old houses?

Lots of boxes and lots of staff to unpack. How the h-e-l-l did we all fit them in our old houses? Yep, I suspect the unpacking never really stops. After living out of boxes for the last 5 or so years, its become somewhat of a habit. The paper-blinds are great, although the daily wind-up when 'waking up the house' gets to be a bit of a chore. But they are the best bang-for-buck ever. We ended up with a combination of timber plantation shutters and blinds. I love the shutters at the front of the house, but I think for bedrooms they tend to make things a little too dark, as the fixed frame uses up a lot of the window light that would've otherwise come into the room. I wouldn't get them again for any bedrooms. Just horizontal blinds next time. Met up with the new SS today to sort out our damaged fence & subsidence issue. It's something that is affecting our next door neighbour, rather than us. Now that our retaining wall is in, M can go ahead and fix the problem caused at site-scrape stage. Thank the gods for that, as I was avoiding walking out into my front yard for fear of being bailed up daily by our whinging neighbour. Home this week - I think I'll finally get to organise the garage storage area so we can fit a car in there!
