For those with a Day Dream 30 or 28, is the garage an actual double garage to fit 2 cars?
We did our upgrades before ordering contract so we knew exactly what $ we were up for - even though Marty wasn't keen but we pushed it

What upgrades did you get with that? Did you not go for an elegance package ?? We didn't go with the elegance package. It saved us $10,000 going with the designer with upgrades. $2000 of the $8000 was carpet. We were quoted for bricks above the windows and that was $1000, $800 was for 40mm stone, $600 for undermount sink and fancy tap. $600 for off white mortar, eko-deck for the gables ($400). We also added in painting a different colour in the master bedroom and media room and that came to just over $1000. The rest was carpet underlay upgraded and other bits and pieces that added up fast lol. Re: Our First Home Blog - DayDream 28 (modified) 35Aug 01, 2017 8:20 am How about the Electrical appointment, did you have a $5,000 allowance ? Did you use it all? Did you buy items after the appointment and ask for them to install it ? Re: Our First Home Blog - DayDream 28 (modified) 36Aug 01, 2017 8:58 am Our electrical came to 12k total. We got coral to do everything. It then all comes under warranty, and don't need to worry about our sparky saying no I'm not doing cash. We only need to buy our pendant lights. We know it's a lot of money, but it's worth it just to take the hassle out of it for us. Re: Our First Home Blog - DayDream 28 (modified) 37Aug 01, 2017 9:34 am We spent $5k in Clipsal and an additional $1500 cashie through electrician and still have minimal lights in house. Daydream showhomes have 78 lights in their house! We are aiming for that and have had sparkie position the lights in the bedrooms so it's all set up as far as wiring for us to easily add down the track Re: Our First Home Blog - DayDream 28 (modified) 39Aug 20, 2017 7:57 am I somehow missed this post ![]() Love the lustrous elm, we have that in our bathrooms ![]() Gorgeous selections ![]() ![]() Re: Our First Home Blog - DayDream 28 (modified) 40Aug 24, 2017 6:55 pm Sorry it's been awhile since we have done an updated on our land and house. Today we finally settled on the land after being stuffed around by our broker and the lender. We are so glad that part of it is over. We can now move on and start building our new home. Now it's over to Coral Homes to make this a smooth journey for us, we now have to wait for Council's approval then we should have our start date. Our colour variation came back from our Colour Appointment and was $2,381 with about a $450 credit from our Electrical Appointment to come off the variation as well. We will be doing a few things ourselves after keys are handed to us. So happy to have the land settled today!!! 0 5332 I second taking your plans elsewhere.
