Damn about the photos, happy days your back next weekend, bring your thongs it's gotten really warm over the last week yay Re: Building with GJ northern nsw- Locked up 450Aug 28, 2015 10:57 pm Yay warmth. We had a couple of nice days down and started to get excited i even wore thongs but then winter hit again and our heater broke. It was freezing. Looking forward to some of that lovely sun again. Re: Building with GJ northern nsw- Locked up 451Aug 28, 2015 11:02 pm Ohhh yuk that would be horrible with the cold again. . I was stupid the other day and went out with jeans and a long sleeve top on by the time I got home I had nearly melted and couldn't get my shorts on fast enough, it was 28 . What are you doing for window furnishing for your stacker doors? The big ones off your kitchen? I was thinking about you the other night when I was cutting our blinds down and wondered what you would do? Re: Building with GJ northern nsw- Locked up 452Aug 28, 2015 11:10 pm Haha. We are just doing sheers as we will not be overlooked by anyone so we dont need blockout. The backfence is super high and the other doors look over the courtyard. So will stick with sheers for now and see how we go. Re: Building with GJ northern nsw- Locked up 454Aug 29, 2015 4:16 am livpal5 Our plaster is complete and the render is complete. The chippy has been back putting in the skirting and fixing stuff. (Very technical) Our kitchen and cabinetry are in the process of being made. But devastatingly there are no photos. The photos are the only thing that gets me through the working week. So to say im devastated is an under statement. Yeah yeah it could be worse i know. Just impatient to see it all. Cant wait for my trip up next weekend. Then there will be photo overload Oh no why didn't you get any photos You're so fortunate to go again next weekend though - I'm a bit jealous We have to get skirting afterwards ourselves, it isn't something that is routinely added to houses in WA (or so I'm told!). I just think it protects the walls to an extent and looks more 'finished' somehow! Funny isn't it? You're getting skirting and I'm getting cornices hehe - I have to pay to get skirting, and you had to pay to lose cornices! Re: Building with GJ northern nsw- Locked up 456Aug 29, 2015 9:36 am I can't remember you not being near your build livpal I know Tracey's building near you but living in NT (or WA - hubby got job there recently?) But you? Oh Melbourne comes to mind ... Are you moving in when house is built? I can't remember. Maybe I need to re-read your thread again geez it's hard to keep up with this forum Anyway, must be difficult and no wonder you are so dependant on photos. Re: Building with GJ northern nsw- Locked up 457Aug 29, 2015 11:15 am Haha. I know it is hard to keep track of everyone. Yeah im in cold melbourne so hanging out to move up to the warm coast. We will move after xmas. Let the kids finish the school year and have last xmas with the family then we will head up. My hubby and i want to go up for a week and set everything up when the house is finished. That way when we drive up with the kids we wont have to worry about setting it all up. Well thats the plan. At least we want the beds set up. Haha. Yeah so u can det understand i NEED photos and im shattered. My hubby likes the surprise so he can wait till next week. Im not great with surprises as u can all tell. Re: Building with GJ northern nsw- Locked up 459Aug 29, 2015 8:50 pm Coming along very fast Livpal5! Will you be in by Xmas? Mum gets her keys this week, which is very exciting. Just wondering has anyone put plantation shutters throughout their house? If so which company did you use?

To be honest I think it might be a little sooner. Ohhhhh bring on the table reveal looking forward to that one Hi, I am wondering if anyone has built with Montgomery in the last few years on the Northern Beaches?
