Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Alkimos Aveling first timers! 31Aug 17, 2016 10:24 pm Thanks Nelly. Render was done across the front the past couple days and the white set should have been completed today but I was too chicken to get out and look in this weather! Think that needs a week to dry before glass and doors and I guess that's lock up then. I still have a few niggles over things I cannot change, and that I had from the start of the plans process, but hey how there nothing I can do about it now! Re: Alkimos Aveling first timers! 34Sep 01, 2016 9:34 pm Lots of progress at the house. Seems the SS is pretty hot on lining up trades to all get in on time and I guess it helps that building has slowed so much in WA. All ceilings and doors and frames have been painted. Really like the bright fresh WA white we picked for doors and frames. Air con was installed yesterday, just not the external units yet. Today cabinets have all been done, plus benchtops and sinks in wet areas. Love the gloss cupboards and love the Concrete Formwork benchtops! So glad I swapped to them at pre start.

I hope we get benchtops tomorrow!! We need to start putting deposits down on lounge and dining table so they arrive on time! Mon Makes such a difference to see actual stuff inside that isn't boring electrics and pipes haha. We ordered a fridge yesterday and just have to hope our current one lasts til we move. Only other thing we are getting is dining table and kids double beds as I need to ponder furniture layout and how we will use the spaces, so figure if we live in it for a while i will work it out better....but maybe I'll change my mind and order some sofas haha. I wonder when we will get essa and the slab ends. Do you have stone throughout? Re: Alkimos Aveling first timers! 37Sep 01, 2016 11:33 pm ZoePerth Mon445 Looks fantastic!!

Got the big stuff sorted in my head- I just hope it looks as good as I envision it! Yep we have 40mm stone throughout and waterfalls in the kitchen. I hope it goes in this week and that I get to sneak inside! Looking through the window is frustrating! Have you been given a rough estimate of handover? We haven't yet- but hoping to meet with SS next week! Mon Re: Alkimos Aveling first timers! 38Sep 01, 2016 11:46 pm Yep they said from the start they aimed for late November and I asked last week how that timeline was going. Our brickies took a little longer due to weather. Anyway they still are happy to say November. Yours should be similar I reckon, earlier even if you're doing the driveway etc Re: Alkimos Aveling first timers! 39Sep 04, 2016 8:42 pm Stone is on in the kitchen, and our undermounted sink. Only took one photo as our neighbours popped in for a nosey. Love the waterfall ends 😍 Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ All the brick surrounds and undermounts have been done in the wet areas and they've raised the floor levels too. Tiling meeting is Wednesday! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ So it seems like they just take on a lot of projects to get the cashflow for their own builds. COULDN'T AGREE MORE 14 45622 Thank you. Do I use timber floorboards for stairs or do people use timber treads? Or is both the same? 6 8201 Can anyone give me any onfo on New Homes WA?
