View from window in ENS for Guest Room. Glad we went with all clear windows as this will never need to really be covered.

Window in Theatre Room. Bloody BIG!! Not what I wanted but was unable to reduce it due to energy ratings. So now it will be turned into a feature with a full height and full width black curtain.

All the pain and arguing is going to pay off with this fixed window. The view from outside to front and visa versa will be great!
Sometimes you just got to fight for what you want.

Nice Roo! You will have some great outlooks from ur windows!
Seeing ur frames I just realised that our bath hob hasn't been framed up yet! Ha it didn't stop them invoicing us though!

MrBee · Oct 28, 2015 5:15 pm

Keep the hob double thickness looks heaps better thicker

belzey · Oct 28, 2015 5:38 pm

Wow roo that will have quite an awesome street presence hey! Flying along now I am amazed how quick framed house builds move along over east.

Lookin grand roo, amazing street view. Beautiful big windows, good call about the clear glass to your guest ensuite, I missed that with ours and have stupid spots wood to the fixed ensuite window

. I do agree with mr bee about your double width bath hob, it's handy wider as you can sit on the edge.

Roofing next?

I'll drive by for a look tomorrow I have to go to masters

PEARZ · Oct 28, 2015 9:20 pm

One awesome massive house you have got there...!

Yeah I'm hoping to see a roof next.

Oh I totally agree with the hob width, it's more a case of it not fitting. We rearranged the bathroom to allow for double vanities (bloody women lol) and the bath end sits beside the shower. The space between bath and shower is already at a premium for the shower door and making the hob wider makes just that little bit less for the door.

Haha thanks Pearz. Not really massive, but it does have that appearance in the street lol.

Yeah but watch it slow down now that the frame is up lol.
I'm really hoping they have a good go and get it locked up for Christmas.

Roomeat · Oct 29, 2015 7:34 am

Lol I sent some pics to Clarendon to ensure items were fixed. Got a reminder that I'm not allowed on site due to WH&S. Pfft. My home, you can stop me when you lock it up.

I think you will find (well my builder told me this) the home owner is allowed onsite any time however they are not covered by any insurence therefore if you hurt yourself you can't sue and can't access their insurence. I actually imagine that would be true they can't stop you going on your land surely.

TraceyWayne · Oct 29, 2015 8:54 am

Agree with the fabulous Mr Bees, have built 3 houses and have never been stopped from access, even on our current interstate build have a key. Have always just been told not to hurt myself haha.

Tribe7 · Oct 29, 2015 10:29 am

Oh right that makes sense about the bath now, taking space from that area isn't ideal at all. Hahahha bloody women and there sinks

.

I had the same conversation with our SS and he said your not aloud onsite blah blah blah, I was blunt but polite and said right I want a walk through once a week and you have to carry my toddler while I carry the baby and hold my 3 year olds hand. I can't do standard walk throughs and need you to ignore the fact I'm going for a look. He did which was awesome and left a certain lock off so I could get in when I wanted

.

That's how I found out our hot water system was stolen, was there on the Monday afternoon but gone Tuesday lunch time. I was up seeing the tiler and noticed it missing we figured out who took it

Roomeat · Oct 30, 2015 7:44 pm

Progress slowed the last few days.
30/10/2015 - Managed to get Fascia and Gutter to the top roof today.

We have FOUR Clarendon Homes display homes being built in the other end of our estate at the moment. I'll be slightly ticked if any of these are completed before a paying customers.

Hi roo it does seem to slow after the frames fly up! That said we have the upper roof all done and the windows went in today.
I would hope a paying customers house goes up before a display home!

haha yeah it does but it's not. Optical illusion. Ill get some photos of it from another angle later through the week

Tribe7 · Nov 08, 2015 10:27 pm

Roof is looking great roo, like the colourbond a lot. Did you get whirly birds? Eave vents? Woo hoo the plumbing rough in is done too, I already feel for your electrician doing your electrical rough in, you have so many lights and power points
