KDR Under the Flight Path - Dennis Family Homes (Hawkesdale) Re: Building with Dennis Family Homes 373Mar 26, 2017 2:14 pm Those tiles are gorgeous! Love them! Welcome rattleAU! Yay to another DFH build! Rondy - how is the new house? It must be surreal to finally be in your own home! Me - still waiting! God, admin is painful! Still waiting on confirmation in writing on them winding back the price to what it was when we signed our contract last year. We were told by our sales agent who spoke to his manager who ok-ed this but we all know unless its in writing..... The difference is $10k and with that the base price is $15k more than the base price for the Mortlake which we cant build! Argh! So, we've had to look at our wants vs needs list and re-evaluate our selections. We are now looking at the Macedon 313! Cass- if you are still around?! Any tips?! Hopefully, we shall have confirmation and a plan of action by this time next week. In the mean time, patience is a virtue, right?!

If its the main, can you tell me what size that is? That's the main bathroom. We increased it to 1200 x 900. Building with Dennis Family Homes Re: Building with Dennis Family Homes 378Mar 29, 2017 10:51 am Can you post a pic of the floor plan of the bathroom. We want a bigger shower niche too but have trouble trying to work out just how to make it all fit without increasing the size of the room excessively! And by chance, do you remember how much it cost for that upgrade? Thank you! x Re: Building with Dennis Family Homes 379Mar 29, 2017 11:25 am Here's the plan of our bathroom. From memory i think it was under $300 to increase it to 1200x900. Then to have it recessed and tiled i think it was around $750.
