Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Our build with Celebration Homes 61Nov 20, 2013 10:34 am I'm a little bit annoyed today! My partner got a call yesterday from one of our neighbours to let us know that some kids who live down the street had drawn all over our render with chalk and also been throwing sand from our sand pile out onto the road My partner managed to get the chalk off and also found the kids who did it (they had drawn all over the road outside their house with the same chalk) and he has asked them not to do it again. The parents were nowhere to be seen Hopefully that is the end of it.

A lot of people have said that everything slows right down after reaching lock up but it seems like Celebration are still full steam ahead! Hopefully I haven't jinxed myself by saying that...

Tiles should be finished by the end of next week. The ceilings are being painted at the moment too. The site supervisor seems to think we will get the keys by the end of January! Here are a couple of pics from last weekend..

Unfortunately we didn't get the stone benchtops. Its our first home and we had quite a large block, so to be able to afford the home we wanted we had to delete a couple of things (stone benchtops, ducted a/c - saved us about $10k off the total price).

I we are going for the colours for our ENS. I like your niche too Re: Our build with Celebration Homes 73Dec 17, 2013 2:30 pm Thanks! I really liked them when I chose them, but while I was waiting for the build to start and before they went up on the wall I was really second guessing my choice.. Now I love them again haha! Re: Our build with Celebration Homes 78Jan 21, 2014 10:43 am Hello! Sorry, it has been awhile since I've done an update. No, we are not in the house yet, but we are having our final inspection in a week or so, and providing there isn't much to do following on from that we should have handover another week or so after that! We then will need to get cracking on the painting and flooring, then we will be in Here are a couple of photos of our finished render colour and also our flyscreen doors which were installed yesterday: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Our build with Celebration Homes 80Feb 02, 2014 3:54 pm Hi Rubes - love all the pictures of your house, you must be super excited to see it nearly finished. We are just starting our build with celebrations and really looking forward to seeing our house get built as well. How did you find the general quality of the work done by the builders? Did you spot any errors during the build or are there any places you think we should look as the house gets built? We had one or two errors with the final plans/addenda where things had been marked up wrong so hoping those kinds of errors don't happen during the build. Thanks Building the Lennox with Celebration Homes in Woburn Park, The Vines https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=69328 of course there are legal avenues. You've already mentioned it. Sue them. I find it odd that lawyers wouldnt be willing to take on the case, given CCT evidence and… 1 24589 Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 19851 3 51856 |
