Thanks, Flissfloss. Yes, furniture shopping is very addictive.. but wait 'til you receive your credit card statement Quote: Looking forward to seeing the inside too! Clarity, we're looking forward to our walk through, as that's the only time I could get interior shots just before we get the keys... but up to now we haven't heard from our CSR re: the date Quote: It looks awesome, you definitely made the right choice with the garage door! All the stress of building is nearly over VJ - and now for the fun part! Thanks, Sharee. Also saw your thread.. looks like you might be in before us! Great progress! Really hope that we won't be stressed anymore 'til handover... hope all our electrical issues get fixed... Quote: Facade looks wonderful VJ. Hope you get handover soon! Thanks, HTB. Your avatar looks like you've got great progress on your house! Also love your facade! REally hope to get handover soon... but end of Oct is wishful thinking. As we haven't even done our walk through and it's already mid of the month! Went to the house today... we just saw thru the windows that the kitchen benchtop isn't in yet. And the dimmer/light switch outside of the HT room hasn't been moved yet We were hoping that they would fix it prior to our walk through.. but looks like they won't budge. Whatever happens, we will dispute it, even if it would take us to any tribunal Also found out that the downpipes are now connected to the plumbing (is am I saying the right thing?). Need to inform Stockland's fencing contractor on what we want to do with the brushed fence facing the secondary street. We have the option to just close it off (abut to the house) or put a gate (but we have to pay for the gate)... still undecided. Is it advisable to have a gate to the fence near the secondary street (where our pergola is) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping!

How come you are not posting new photos from your house? Quote: It wont be long now.....nearly there....just take deep breaths... Yes, that's what I'm actually doing. I've waited long enough... waiting for a few more days/weeks would be fine, as long as they give me a quality house. Quote: Cant wait to see the interior. You have great taste so its going to look stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, can't wait to put out all the stuff that we have bought so far Great taste? Quote: The garage door looks great too with the facade, very complimentary and matches with the front door and feature timber on the facade. Don't you think the garage door looks very dark? Probably you can't really tell in the photos... I really love it.. but whenever I see it with the timber windows/doors, I tend to agree with DH to stain the windows/doors to a darker shade to match with the garage door The other colour was a bit orangey.. that's why we opted for the darker one instead. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping!
