Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Our build in Calleya, WA 4Jul 12, 2016 4:24 pm Hi DVP Welcome to H1 and congrats on starting your build journey Having fridge next to laundry is probably not such a bad thing, a lot of new designs have scullery where people put their appliances. if you start thinking that your laundry that sits right behind the kitchen to be you scullery, it will make sense perfectly. If you look at my thread you can see our floor plan where we did something similar. We also upgraded the trough in the laundry to be ceramic based which gives laundry a bit better feel. Our build in Calleya, WA 5Jul 12, 2016 5:09 pm Hi Seems very blurry to me but I don't see an issue with layout. I would recommend a door on your laundry though if there isn't one already as they can be noisy. Also maybe consider changing from a slider to a usual aluminum framed French glass door (I think that's what they're called) so you have some wall at end of laundry to help with overhead cabinets if you were considering that in the future. Or even if you were considering wall mounted dryer it will help you being able to vent to outside etc. Have you also considered doors for your theatre to keep noise in? If not maybe just get the door frames put in so you can add later down the track. May also help make it into a private space usable by guests if needing more sleeping space etc at times Re: Our build in Calleya, WA 6Jul 13, 2016 8:58 am Hi Dup, Welcome to homeone. I'm currently living in a rental based on the same plan. I wanted to build the same plan, but i couldn't get everything i wanted included within my budget. I love how the kitchen is set up. Plenty of cupboard space including overheads. I find the location of the fridge works really well. There is door to the laundry as well. When planning your electricals, have 2 double GPOs on the back walls - 1 on either side of the cooktop - 1 gpo isn't enough Consider putting a gpo on 1 end of the island bench just under the overhang too. Also, if you have a microwave oven, consider where you want to have it. I have to have mine on the counter in that nook area to the side of the kitchen. Def put a door to the theatre as suggested above.

It is really exciting, despite the fact that we are still months away from seeing any movement on the block he he he. Beazley27, the idea of having a door on the Laundry did not even crossed our minds, but it makes perfect sense!. The one on the theater did occur to us beforehand Jpmontoya not a bad idea of thinking on the laundry as a pseudo scullery. And last, but not least, Rosemi thank you for your first hand comments on this layout, it makes us feel more confident on our selection. Good tips on the location of the GPOs and the microwave recess, we would definitely take your comments on board. Thank you all for your comments guys, we would keep you updated on our journey. Cheers, dvp Re: Our build in Calleya, WA 8Jul 15, 2016 9:55 am Hi DVP, Welcome aboard! I love one of the easy start plans (on display in Baldivis Parks, can't remember the name) I want to build it as an investment. They make some really nice designs. Definitely the laundry door and you can never have enough power points! Looking forward to following along Our Custom Dale Alcock build in the Village at Wellard https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78620 Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 19234 of course there are legal avenues. You've already mentioned it. Sue them. I find it odd that lawyers wouldnt be willing to take on the case, given CCT evidence and… 1 24241 "Losers" "humanity" "off time" "your" "top notch" "love symbol" Sounds like ponzo is done using other people's toilets 36 24467 |
