Looking forward to following Thanks Ashgrove Re: Building our forever home on 5 acres near Lancelin WA 15Jun 19, 2015 10:08 am mellianne5 jelbell55 Love your design and all your colour choices, will look absolutely stunning. Really looking forward to seeing it all come together. That sunset is incredible, how lucky that you will have that beautiful view every day Thanks jelbell. I love the sunsets and so look forward to evenings sitting on our verandah with a glass of wine and watching them. Unfortunately we won't be moving straight in as we live and work four hours from our block and our youngest two are settled into school here. Will just have to settle for every other weekend to begin with Going to check out your thread .. Our son is building in Baldivas as well! Sounds like the perfect place to have a home I am sure it will be hard not being able to move straight away, but how rewarding is it knowing you have created the perfect home to live in in the near future That is exciting for your son, I hope his build is going well. We have been living in Baldivis for the last 5 years and love it Re: Building our forever home on 5 acres near Lancelin WA 16Jun 19, 2015 11:56 am Oh we loved the Avonview! It was one of the first designs we looked at!! Love the changes the you made and your colour choices are fab as well. What a beautiful block, you must be very excited!

We have been living in Baldivis for the last 5 years and love it Not being able to move straight in is the one thing I know will be frustrating, but as we are planning to paint and do floor coverings etc ourselves it will mean won't have to rush that process and do it properly. My son and I joke all the time as to who will win the build race and have their house keys first! He really liked Baldivas when he went down there looking for a block. His supervisor at work lives there and built with the same company and has been guiding him along with the process which has been really nice of him.

Love the changes the you made and your colour choices are fab as well. What a beautiful block, you must be very excited! Thanks Nikkis. The Avonview was the one design we kept going back to. As we are at that stage where our older three children have either left or are leaving home and we have only two more to see through teenage hood , we had decided that we didn't need to go with an overly large house. We also really wanted something that gave them and us our own spaces, so we liked the bigger room sizes as well. I am excited and impatient to get started, although all our contract paperwork arrived this week which has been daunting. I was reading through your thread at about 2am this morning and it was helpful to see you had the same concerns about contract signing and financing prestart costs. It seems a bit of a backward way to me that they give you an initial quote and the contracts to sign before you make further changes at prestart. I really would have liked to have that all sorted before signing everything so I knew where to cut costs. Hopefully our internal upgrades and changes wont add too much.

Well is suppose it's one cure for insomnia Yes I'm still not sure I entirely understand the concept of signing something before you know the full cost. I think in the main we got away with it. By the time we got to pre start we had a fairly good idea of what we were going to spend. Thanks mainly to the lovely peeps on this forum it has to be said!! We're at the stage now where we're realising we've made some rookie mistakes. Nothing we can't live with or raise a variation for. I guess if we were going to do it again we'd make the master suite and theatre a tad bigger so it's worth checking and double checking before you lock everything in!

How exciting for you both That's great that you won't feel rushed with the painting and the floors, at least when you move in everything will be done which is a nice feeling Hi, Have used the Dulux 1 step, oil base on my walls(white set), out of can it’s already a more thinner product than a final coat paint Also in water base Water or… 3 5187 Thanks mate, is there a standard off the shelf type breathable product I can apply DIY?
