Good idea adding the extra 20cm, you can never have too much space in areas like that. I know what you mean about the waiting - my partner and I are building our first home, but we have been happy waiting because we see it as more time to save money for all of the furniture we will need to buy! In saying that, our build is moving pretty quickly so far!

Are you going to move the manhole to the garage? I love Houzz.com, endless source of inspiration. Just madly pin them all to Pinterest Re: Building a new house in Serpentine with Gemmill 10Aug 24, 2013 12:31 am Hi Janicec, yeah it is a huge house a lot bigger than the one we have now! Our main priority was to have really good size bedrooms as our kids are tween age and space will be important very soon! And the way our block is positioned this plan offered the best of everything and it was at a price that just couldn't be beaten. Quote: janicec That's a huge house!! Are you going to move the manhole to the garage? I love Houzz.com, endless source of inspiration. Just madly pin them all to Pinterest I was thinking about the man hole and I was thinking maybe putting it in the laundry/ mud room as later we might convert to attic storage ( even though there will be a massive shed in the back yard, can't have too much storage right?) Houzz is both great and frustrating at the same time, most of the pictures I adore are American or Canadian and they just don't make them like that over here with out $$$$$$ attached! That's why the house plan with the laundry coming off of the garage was a key feature I had to have, just to replicate those lovely mud rooms I've seen so many of I hope it all turns out the way I have it pictured in my head Our build thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=66620 Re: Building a new house in Serpentine with Gemmill 11Sep 09, 2013 12:28 am Thought I'd show a couple of photo's of our block we have curbs! http://i1284.photobucket.com/albums/a565/speedwaychick68/ba781cffb0423cf619372eafad0de9ac_zpsca007632.jpg Before some fill was added by the developers http://i1284.photobucket.com/albums/a565/speedwaychick68/a968afd0fbdbff930471912c273aa8eb_zps31170167.jpg After the fill and a couple of trees from the building envelope were cleared http://i1284.photobucket.com/albums/a565/speedwaychick68/aa4c7bfa6e18f5416e39167c4033b30a_zps526976f6.jpg Our build thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=66620 Re: Building a new house in Serpentine with Gemmill 12Sep 09, 2013 9:13 am Congrats on curbs I love what you've done with the laundry and also the powder room and main bathroom it's funny because when I was looking at the original plan the semi ensuite powder room didn't do it for me - you've come up with a much better solution IMHO Cheers <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=62083">viewtopic.php?t=62083</a><!-- l --> Re: Building a new house in Serpentine with Gemmill 13Sep 09, 2013 8:54 pm Thanks AKB everything about the original house plan worked for us (layout wise and the size of the bedrooms) with the exception of the amount of doors coming off of the bathroom and powder, It looked like door city to us! The laundry was already there obviously but I really do like how the plan has ended up I am convinced though the house designers do weird stuff like that just so they can charge you when you want to change it to look better. Although in saying that taking out the third bathroom from the back of the house paid for the change to the laundry/pantry and linen.

Our build thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=66620 Re: Building a new house in Serpentine with Gemmill 19Dec 26, 2013 7:47 pm So its been a while since I have contributed to my house in Serpentine with Gemmill thread ,sorry about that life gets in the way sometimes. We have title ( november) our settlement for the land was on the 19th of November Yay!!! We have been waiting for Gemmill to get back to us with our contract, had a hiccup with the placement of the house on the building envelope in October, and they had to update the survey. Other than that not much to report, Ive been out to the block a couple of times since settlement to check on the plants and do a rough peg of the the house. Noticed a one of the blocks sold in the same stage the people have already planted for their garden....I thought I was keen! If anyone reads this and they are or knows anyone who has bought a block in the area I would love to hear from you Our build thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=66620 Re: Building a new house in Serpentine with Gemmill 20Dec 26, 2013 8:03 pm Our build thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=66620 Thanks for your reply.
