Re: Our Acre build -Hallmark 125Jul 28, 2017 10:46 pm House is looking amazing! Doesn't look like much is left how exciting!!! I adore the facade of your home, I truly do- it's a beautiful addition to the neighbourhood! Can't wait to see you moving in x Re: Our Acre build -Hallmark 126Jul 30, 2017 9:40 am So pci is on the 7th. We have our driveway booked in for the 17th. Popped out there yesterday and there was a window cleaner so got to sneak inside and take a few pics. Main floor tiling has been done and carpet layed after the clean. Feeling more confident with our choice of splashback now. Not sure if the pendant lights are installed correctly. Looks like they need to be flush with the ceiling? The air con looks like a beast 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 ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Our Acre build -Hallmark 127Jul 30, 2017 4:38 pm MissLucky So pci is on the 7th.

Your air con is definitely a beast. I also think your kitchen is stunning. That splash back was a great choice! Re: Our Acre build -Hallmark 128Aug 10, 2017 8:50 pm You have been so quiet Miss Lucky?!?! How did PCI go???? - B A vue of the pines on the Gold Coast forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=87210 Re: Our Acre build -Hallmark 129Aug 11, 2017 8:38 am Bridgetwitch You have been so quiet Miss Lucky?!?! How did PCI go???? - B A vue of the pines on the Gold Coast forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=87210 Pci went ok. A few minor things and a couple of bigger things that we aren't happy with. We pick up the keys on Monday so hopefully all is fixed. The bigger issues were that we are missing a PowerPoint in the pantry and is impossible to do it because of the glass splashback. So we compromised and getting one fitted under the top cupboard. The other thing is the tiling on the ensuite bath hob. Not only does it look terrible but I reckon water will pool there. See pic. We were told this is within guidelines but I think it should be fixed. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Our Acre build -Hallmark 130Aug 11, 2017 10:11 am Wow, keys Monday - that's great! I agree with that tiling, looks ******* and should be fixed. Please post lots of pics! - B A vue of the pines on the Gold Coast forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=87210 Re: Our Acre build -Hallmark 132Aug 14, 2017 8:35 am So handover has been changed to next Monday. Apparently waiting on a new kitchen sink as the one fitted was scratched. Not sure about the tiles yet. And our downpipes looks like they have been modified because we mentioned the drainage pipe was constantly full of water. So that's fixed now. Bring on Monday!! Re: Our Acre build -Hallmark 133Aug 14, 2017 12:32 pm Oh you are so close!!! Bummer about the tiles and the power point. It amazes me what they deem to be within acceptable guidelines at times! Re: Our Acre build -Hallmark 134Aug 24, 2017 8:40 pm Hey hey!! Are you in yet?? I went past a couple of days ago and I couldn't see any sign of anyone living there yet. I hope all is well What sort of driveway are you getting? We are busy getting quotes at the moment. Re: Our Acre build -Hallmark 135Aug 25, 2017 12:19 am Oh bummer about the few issues!!!! Our tiler def wasn't the best, since moving in we've come across quite a few tiling issues we're not 100% happy about but we'll follow them up at the 6 mth point!!! I see slight movement on your driveway so hopefully that's a positive move in sign for you!!! Re: Our Acre build -Hallmark 136Aug 25, 2017 6:52 am Happy to report that we got our keys on Monday!!. Tiling in the bathroom has been fixed. Yes we have a start on our driveway. Decided to go with asphalt with edging, so much cheaper than normal concrete. Hubby and myself have annual leave starting next week so will move some stuff out of our current house to declutter a bit so hopefully can sell it. Also going to be super busy doing the side fences, painting the garage floor,putting up our blinds, installing the electric dog fence and maybe doing some retaining. Once that is all finished we will probably move the rest of our furniture in. Still doesn't feel quite real yet but I'm sure it will once were in. With all the excitement I didn't take any pics..Lol. but here is a few I did take.

Re: Our Acre build -Hallmark 140Aug 25, 2017 2:10 pm That's great Miss Lucky... did you get a move in gift from Hallmark?!?! - B A vue of the pines on the Gold Coast forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=87210 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 19818 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 24556 "Losers" "humanity" "off time" "your" "top notch" "love symbol" Sounds like ponzo is done using other people's toilets 36 25140 |
