Re: chandler alfresco in the barossa 393Aug 16, 2013 8:11 am What colour, Hachy? You might find it depends on the time of day, and how bright the sun, as to how it looks. I empathise with the money thing. As long as you have one lounge to start you'll be okay to move in. We had old tablecloths at our windows for a few months at one place we lived. Regarding time, remember that the quicker you move in the less you'll be paying in rent. Re: chandler alfresco in the barossa 394Aug 16, 2013 8:28 am You can only do what you can do! Take it slowly, & it'll come in time Is Grant doing your fencing/paving etc? Try blindsonline.com.au A lady I worked with ordered a mix of stuff from there and installed them herself (she'd never done DIY before) and said it was easy! Saved herself a bundle too for lovely quality blinds all made & cut to size. They also do temp blinds as well I think?

Scott has been asking for them from the girl at the office and they won't hand them over to him. So I was wondering if you have yours?

They also do temp blinds as well I think? yep grant is doing our fencing and paving, had him quote the rest but cant afford it which is unfortunate cos he seems like a nice guy. i dont think it is him being expensive, more the fact that we didn't realise what some of the things cost. we have ordered blinds online but through iseekblinds which is costing us $3477 for almost whole house(no laundry, ensuite, bathroom or toilet) and we will be installing ourselves. joane Hey Hachy, Have you been given the contact details for your Supervisor? Scott has been asking for them from the girl at the office and they won't hand them over to him. So I was wondering if you have yours? Cheers JO they wont give the supervisors number until a certain point in the build, scott may not be up to that yet. we have never talked to our supervisor, never needed to as we have contacted one of the girls at the office via phone or email. as i mentioned about we ordered blinds online tonight. we also went light shopping today and bought 1 pendant for each of the bedrooms and 3 pendants for the kitchen bench. also we ordered our 2 shower shelves and 2 towel ladders today form harvey norman, they only do it online unless you are at one of the NSW stores. the list of things we need to purchase is getting smaller but so is the money in the bank the painter was there again this saturday and let us in quickly as he was almost finishing up so i took some not so good pics. not a fan of the paint colour we have chosen for front of house, it is too white oh well guess we can paint it ourselves one day. main bathroom Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ main bathroom shower Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ main bathroom basin area Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ ensuite toilet Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ ensuite shower Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ front of house with roller doors on and render/timber infills/down pipes/gutters painted Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ our mound of mud and lap pool Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ WIR real exciting i know Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ pendant light we bought for the main bedroom Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ the shape of the pendant lights for kitchen and beds 2/3/4. this is just a stamped on pic on box i dont have any pics of the actual lights and there are none in the catalogue ones in bedrooms are blue and ones over kitchen bench are a frosted white look.

I really wanted a pool and had no idea where to put one. Now I know. lmao DavCar13 Looks absolutely amazing hachy! The colour you have chosen for the front looks great and I love your pendants Is it finished? Doesn't look like there is much left i personally don't like the colour but will have to live with it, think it need a bit of a brown/yellowish tinge to match the bricks. i do however love the colour of the wall paint on the inside. appliances still need to go in and flooring needs to be laid and paving but in this weather i dont know if they can do paving. the painter said to hubby that the tiler is spose to be starting monday. is there much that they need to do to yours davcar? gee we are really having a race.
