Felt like a lifetime before ours started but it has gone very quickly!!! I hope you are happy with them, we've been pretty happy with how everything has gone. We have chosen similar colour schemes haven't we! I like neutral colours you can do a lot with the furniture & art & stuff then Where on the gold coast are you? Whos your site supervisor? Did you go into the city to the design studio??? That was my favourite part that place is awesome. We have chosen the same oven too.... I have a crappy little oven in my current place so very excited about my massive oven!!! haha Looking forward to following your build!!!! Jess Hey Jess Thanks for checking out my thread, and great to see an update on yours as well! I couldn't find many SM builds on here, so I'm glad you're back!! Totally agree with the neutral scheme & adding colour with accessories - so easy to update then as well We're Northern Gold Coast... Not sure if we're allowed to name people on these sites, but our site supervisor is M _ _ _. S. - is he yours as well? Yes, loved the design studio! The oven is going to be AWESOME - such a good range of appliances compared to some of the other builders! Jen Re: First Build – modified Bayside 30 by Stylemaster 8Nov 21, 2014 9:43 pm Yes I was pretty happy with the standard appliances too, seems they don't just put in cheap crap like some others No our site supervisor is kel, he's been pretty good but like I said we haven't had many dramas so not much of a need to talk to him a lot!! But he's been really accommodating with meeting up when we want to etc just waiting on our pci & handover date now. It's very exciting I think I will totally build again I have enjoyed it! Lots of things I would do differently next time. I'm looking forward to seeing ur experience with them, I read a lot of reviews before we decided on a builder and SM had a lot of good.ones so hopefully urs is good too Our first home: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=72839 Re: First Build – modified Bayside 30 by Stylemaster 9Nov 21, 2014 9:51 pm firstbuild14 Yes I was pretty happy with the standard appliances too, seems they don't just put in cheap crap like some others No our site supervisor is kel, he's been pretty good but like I said we haven't had many dramas so not much of a need to talk to him a lot!!

(we also have a new moat, thanks to the stormy GC weather today)... http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/cox_jl/SLAB_zps9db81ec4.jpg Also got our 2014 coin in the slab, thanks to our wonderful neighbours in collaboration with the concreter... it's at the front door for good luck http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/cox_jl/CoininSlab_zpscb66dd33.jpg ... and here was a little visitor in our backyard when we were checking the slab out this afternoon http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/cox_jl/Wallaby_zps99303c1b.jpg Re: First Build – modified Bayside 30 by Stylemaster 18Dec 16, 2014 7:48 am So, at our initial site visit we discussed with the SS that they wouldn't be able to get the roof on before the Christmas break and that they wouldn't put the frames up to battle the elements over the break because of this. The frames had been ordered for delivery first thing when everyone starts back January, and we received our weekly update email on Friday advising we were at "Stage 2 - slab poured. Framing works to begin in 2015"... Lo and behold, what did we find on site two days later?? http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/cox_jl/FramesDelivered_zps654024a2.jpg We asked the SS yesterday if plans had changed, and he said he has trades working over Christmas and also that the frame supplier needed to get them out of their yard due to lack of room. He said he's getting a head start on next year and they would only be sitting at the yard otherwise, so better to have them and get them up... Watch this space I guess! We also have power http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/cox_jl/PowerBox_zps887c1244.jpg Re: First Build – modified Bayside 30 by Stylemaster 19Dec 16, 2014 8:00 am Yay always good to see stuff happening when ur not expecting it!!
