Your kitchen is beautiful too, I love the windows, you get so many different outlooks from one space. Your kids bedrooms are massive at 4m wide Your external elevations are stunning I adore all those verandahs, what is the floor to the verandahs? Concrete or decking? I honestly can't wait to see your roof go on, a 30 degree roof pitch!!! OMG Abuild it will look gigantic! A normal roof pitch is 22.5 degrees, we have a 25 degrees pitch and our roof is coming in at $28k I was to scared to ask for a 30 degree pitch. How many m2 is your house plan? It looks about 390m2 with all those verandahs?? Have you got any selections to post up? I'm so excited to see this house start . In regards to your friend being pregnant with her 4th and having to rush the paper work before the birth, yeap that was us too. Crazy and very stressful, we made it by 12 days. Good god Abuild a broke builder, land falling through and all this council drama is enough to make you want to run away screaming!! Hubby changed jobs from an environments manager in a coal seam gas company to a regional council. He has spent so much time away from us we moved for family and lifestyle. Hence we sold our first build quickly and are queuing up like sheet to the slaughter to do it again . Agree about doing things yourself, I've been pushing back on suppliers for better rates and it working, the builders don't drive a hard as deal as we do . Wow that council sounds very painful I don't think I would be so patient and understanding, if your within the regulations they have no right to interfere on private property. I hope your solicitors kicks there bums and you can move forward. Slowly getting everything together over here too , pricing came back a bit shock worthy so am slashing that down now thank god. Should know what's happening this week Re: Building our dream 60Jun 18, 2017 7:04 pm Just came across your thread ABuild. Love the design of your house can't wait to see how everything comes together for you Keep looking at those verandas! Hubby would have loved to if had something similar! When we first got together we had always said we would build a house with verandas all the way around lol that may be our next build though Following along 1 4592 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 17628 For reference, this is the Austlii reference. My take on this is, that they would be breaking the law denying access to a homeowner in Victoria, or their agent from having… 1 9099 |
