Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Coral Homes - Modified Grange 29 56Sep 08, 2017 11:19 am Haha our houses are very similar!! We even changed our living area to have double cavity sliders too! I would have loved a better facade - but we are almost $60k over the base price, so we had to make some cuts!!! The better facade and colourbond roof had to go.... but then i chucked in profile/shaker cabinet doors priced at $2500 🤤 oh and we increased the size of our stacker doors (the upgrade for this wasn't much, so check it out - ill give you the exact price when my final tender comes through) i cant stop making changes! They better quickly do my contract before I keep going.... Re: Coral Homes - Modified Grange 29 57Sep 08, 2017 11:31 am Dylandbrooke Haha our houses are very similar!!
