Did you upgrade to similar colour grout as your tiles or left them as standard? On the upgrades, were you asked to settle directly with dons? That will be cheaper rather than do it with Sekisui where they will charge mark-up on it. Re: Building a Sekisui house Now Holmesville 389May 24, 2016 5:46 pm Soooo.. Any luck with the pegs? _________________________ Building the Noosa 26 with Coral Homes https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80794 Re: Building a Sekisui house Now Holmesville 390May 24, 2016 5:57 pm So epaul we staying with standard grout as I thought we had spent enough. Yes all changes settled with dons directly. Believe it was much cheaper. Today we have pegs spoke to SS site cut happening tomorrow and he will update me when things are booked in. I know its only early days but I am very happy with his communication and his booking in of things. For today not much to see but here are pegs oh and we have a sekisui sign.

But I am really hoping that our driveway doesn't get damaged in the process, as of course it is not there liability.
