Are blinds as expensive too? Re: Smart Homes Build 175Aug 05, 2015 8:03 pm Hi There. Your house is looking great. I have just signed with Smart Homes to build the Mentor. I was just wondering how much they charged you to paint the internal walls? Also which timber flooring did you choose? Re: Smart Homes Build 176Aug 06, 2015 7:25 pm Ouch that's a bit pricey! We have to pay 6k for window treatments for our house as it was a keystart requirement else i would have sourced them elsewhere for less. However that's for verticals, duo rollers and venetians throughout. We'll also be having our WIR and other robes fitted after hand over as hubby works in the industry so know a few people, hehe Can't wait for pics!!! Oh - we've reached lock up btw Our 'First Home' Build viewtopic.php?t=72518 Our Build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=72518 Re: Smart Homes Build 177Aug 07, 2015 5:38 pm Try bunnings and other places for venetians and diy install these? Perhaps rollers or vertical blinds are ok to install yourself? Not sure but my plan was to diy install venetians... I assume getting someone in to do it would cost a heck more and the saving would outweight the learning of a new skill and unless you did a terrible job a slightly wonky or off venetian wont be noticed by my tenant. Aburong, going along similar lines be keen to talk to you what things are costing you. Pm me please. Re: Smart Homes Build 178Aug 13, 2015 12:02 am Hi Millbridge hows your house going. Ill drop you a pm but just wonderinf how your mentor is going. How did the 18course low wall look when you walk down your entrance? Trying to decide now myself whether tl remove the wall entirely... Those in my household reckon it'll block the open living area from looking as big as it. Could... Hmmm Re: Smart Homes Build 179Aug 25, 2015 12:08 am Hey guys, Sorry it's taken me so long to get on here I've had major struggles with Internet and the I was ill. Anyway since last time our ducted air con has been installed and our front landscaping is due to be finished tomorrow. That's about it. Our wardrobes are getting installed in 4 weeks and I'm so excited to have somewhere to store all my clothes properly. MalSannie Wow that is expensive we can't afford that either we'll have to diy curtain rail and buy ready made. Are blinds as expensive too? At the moment we have make shift curtains with a lretty sheer on top. I'll try and remember to take a photo tomorrow for you. From my knowledge, blinds are cheaper. Smiley77 I am going with DIY curtain rods and ready made curtains from spotlight. I would love pelmets and sheers but it's just not in my budget atm. Bugger about the retic box Ahhh if only the budget could keep expanding, unfortunately by now most of the money has dried up. aburong Hi There. Your house is looking great. I have just signed with Smart Homes to build the Mentor. I was just wondering how much they charged you to paint the internal walls? Also which timber flooring did you choose? Our internal walls were done as part of the package we signed for so I actually have no clue on the price, sorry. Our floor in the vinyl range from harvey norman. So happy we went with it.

Oh - we've reached lock up btw Our 'First Home' Build viewtopic.php?t=72518 6K seems pretty decent for what you're getting. Having friends or family who can help is sooo useful, saves you a lot of money too. YAY FOR LOCKUP!! SaberX Try bunnings and other places for venetians and diy install these?

Aburong, going along similar lines be keen to talk to you what things are costing you. Pm me please. Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely go have a look. Bunnings has become our second home lately, constantly buying things for the house. Most of the time labour costs more than the actual product so DIY would be great. We're going for a tropical look in the garden. I'll definitely be adding some more plants later on.

Is the landscaping part of the development? I love the edging it looks so neat I ran into trouble finding a lock that would fit my particular door, like your situation with your pivot door. I wanted a safe lock that couldn't be messed with easily. 4 25683 We already paid for somfy motors for the blinds.
