I love the plan, I can definitely see some similarities to my own house. I like the theatre at the front, I wish mine could have worked like that but I didn't have the space. What's that little wall hanging off the left side of the theatre? Burnsfirsttime You can get a manual roller door for the rear of the garage instead of the double doors. I agree, a roller door would probably be far more functional and secure. Burnsfirsttime Check the width on the toilet next to the main bathroom - it looks very narrow between the vanity and the toilet The standard bath size here is 1500, check what your specs say and maybe increase it to 1800 and then you are utilizing that full space instead of having a little gap at the end. This isn't a very expensive upgrade. Without tooting my own horn too much, perhaps take a look at my plan and have a look at what I did with the shared wall between the powder room/bathroom. I extended my bath to 1700mm as BFT suggested, but I also inset the powder sink/bath wall. It's hard to explain without a pic. Anyway, I found that this solved the issue of the 'dead space' by the bath. In the future I will place shelves there for towels and other bathroom supplies. Just a thought Re: Redink Yanchep, WA - First time (and Absent) build - Int 18May 28, 2014 4:25 pm Goodluck with your.build .i am building with redink and get keys tomorrow. Had my ups and downs .but redink have been great .and pretty sad that it is all over. They are my little redink family .been in contact with them since oct2012 .so a long ride . My advice is keep in contact with them they are really.good in making you happy . Well they have for me .reading some of these other blogs about other builders I think I would of.gone nutty by now. Remember everyone has their own journey . I know we are paying them to build our homes but mistakes can happen .and I know I keep saying this ,its the way they fix it . Any guestions you have feel free to ask Re: Redink Yanchep, WA - First time (and Absent) build - Int 19May 29, 2014 6:17 pm Burnsfirsttime Personally I would pay the extra to have the 31c ceilings throughout, I don't like how pokey the 28c makes a house feel.

Hi Burnsfirsttime - if we can afford it we'll do it Funny you and Pan should say about the roller door - that was what I wanted but my OH thought a double door would be easier to use. My Dad, who will live in the house, might also have a problem bending to open/close a manual door - they have one in their shed now and he finds it a bit of a struggle. The changes to the WC/Bath isn't necessarily to scale so will have to see what they come back with - I've 'stolen' the WC part from their Georgia show house layout where they have a little cupboard etc. My sister took photos of it and it didn't look too narrow but I'll measure it up when we get the plans - thanks for pointing it out!

What's that little wall hanging off the left side of the theatre? Hi Pan, thanks! Yes I noticed our plans were very similar too The little wall is a blade/feature wall which was specified on the plan - but I thought if we could make it a little bit wider we could use the space behind it to hide services/bins etc. PanRaptor Without tooting my own horn too much, perhaps take a look at my plan and have a look at what I did with the shared wall between the powder room/bathroom.

Just a thought This is the pic my sister took of the Georgia's WC so I'm hoping we could at least have it as wide as that. I like what you did to yours - will see what they come back with before I send more changes off for now - thanks for the suggestion!
