I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say half a tile in the laundry, do you have a photo? How annoying if you've told them multiple times and it still wasn't fixed. Don't have a photo (how weird!) but it's basically as if the tiling finished at the kitchen/laundry door, so they have a half tile and seal. Then they've continued on tiling the laundry from there instead of replacing it with a full tile across the door so it flows through non stop. Trying to organise the bank and final payment and valuation and all that jazz now, what a pain in the butt! We have to put in about $1800 ourselves but apparently we need to provide a receipt for this to our bank before they'll process the last payment. Weird, we assumed we could just pay all on the handover day when we have our final inspection. So letterboxes, where do you get those nice address plaques for them?

Very little has been done this week to tick off our 2 page list. Still no garage door! The driveway and electrical was finished and the controller for the aircon finally went in. Apparently the tiler went in to check the laundry but we haven't heard the outcome of that yet. What are everyone doing for letterboxes? We don't have much room at the end of our driveway but looking for a concrete one to match the timeless grey and hoping to find one that fits an address plaque. Anyone got any recommendations?

We'll be sending positive vibes your way. I'm getting my pop (bricklayer) to brick us a letterbox, it's going to be a rather large feature and just buying a face plate from Masters. You can get customs letterbox plaques made there Re: Our 101 Residential build - Queens Park - Letterbox advi 237Feb 20, 2015 6:37 pm Hey em. I bet they'll finish up but will stress you out to the finish line. Seems to be a common theme on here haven't figured out our mailbox situation yet but i have seen some at bunnings and masters that looked nice and lots of number plates to choose from. I also remember seeing one at home base expo that did the plates. Actually think same company as laundry line. Aussie washing lines or something like that. Good luck Re: Our 101 Residential build - Queens Park - Letterbox advi 238Feb 21, 2015 10:34 pm Ok I think I know what you mean regarding the half a tile - how odd! We'll not have the same tile in the laundry and the kitchen so we'll have half tiles probably too! Would've liked the same tile throughout but RedInk said max 300x300 for wet areas Good luck with the handover stuff and I hope they get it all done in time. I'm also interested in what you find for a letterbox - by the time our house is built (if ever) we'll need one too! Re: Our 101 Residential build - Queens Park - Letterbox advi 239Feb 21, 2015 10:58 pm I dont even know if I have a half tile .lol. but I have different tiles so they dont match . If you have the same tike throughout then it will diffently look better with a full tile . I get so many comments on my pakman mailbox . Re: Our 101 Residential build - Queens Park - Letterbox advi 240Feb 24, 2015 10:29 am Thanks for all your comments guys! Hubby has been working on our backyard all weekend and started paving yesterday and saw our construction manager & site supervisor too. They assured us handover will definitely be on Friday even with the fact that they are going to re-tile the laundry! The painter was there yesterday and the garage door finally went on! I've been looking at these letterboxes, we don't have room for a full brick feature unfortunately. I like this one but the plaque would be too low, so I think I'd just go numbers.

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 17628 |
