We were copied in on a follow up email to council yesterday but no reply yet. Man I hope he is still not on leave or we still have a long wait ahead. I think I had better go out for the day and stop hovering around the email Re: Our second home-JG King Memphis 832Jan 18, 2017 10:35 am Yes also curious to know how you got on, Fingers crossed for a good result! _________________________ Building the Noosa 26 with Coral Homes https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80794 Re: Our second home-JG King Memphis 833Jan 18, 2017 10:58 am ok sorry slow reply, so much going on. So things are progressing and looks like we are going to go down the render path on the column and maybe the pier near the entrance for balance, overall the SS acknowledges the colour change in the mortar. Still undecided about the render, we didn't really want it but it will look better then two mortar colours but doesn't fix it on the rest of the front, but should hopefully make it less noticeable. Thoughts on this/colours? (Yes very dodge paint skills) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Also in other good news, we had a bit of a walk around with our SS through the house and pointed out a few things the need fixing up. It also looks like we will be doing PCI next Wednesday hopefully as long as he can get all the trades back through, and we COULD have our keys in the first week of Feb (fingers crossed). Our concreter has started and said our back concrete will be done today and driverway/cross over(needs permit) tomorrow or the next day, we ended up deciding to take the back concrete all the way to the back corner of the house and have made the drive exposed 50/50 mix, a little wider and taken it to the column. We now have a water meter and they have come back to fix up the down pipes. It is starting to feel like we have progress again and light at the end of the tunnel.

We actually received a partial refund on our deposit ( which we never asked for), so it looks like things are changing for the better. Banks, as far as I know the councils should be back. We have been in touch with ours, this week. Hopefully the guy you are incontact with is not on extended leave. Re: Our second home-JG King Memphis 836Jan 18, 2017 11:03 am First or last and def not second. Go with a grey base so that it ties to the other greys. Re: Our second home-JG King Memphis 837Jan 18, 2017 11:04 am Great to hear your moving again!! I love the first picture, i think you should do the extra column as it balances it out perfectly _________________________ Building the Noosa 26 with Coral Homes https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80794 Re: Our second home-JG King Memphis 838Jan 18, 2017 11:04 am Woo hoo, that's awesome news. Fingers crossed for your handover in Feb. I agree, the first or last render colours look the best. The second one is quite bright, and very " in your face". Re: Our second home-JG King Memphis 840Jan 18, 2017 11:51 am Thanks guys yes it's good to feel on the positive side again. Once the driveway and garage doors are on (this week), I'll do some more to get a better idea of colour, my only worry with the dark is to not make the house to dark, our garage door i s basalt (same as roof) too.
