Allworth Avalon / Son 18Oct 07, 2017 8:44 pm We’ve come down to the coast this weekend and visited our block. We had such a lovely surprise when we got there. Our rear neighbours have put up a fence which is our back/their front side fence, they’ve done all the work and not asking for any money, saying they wanted to help out because they know building is expensive. Another plus is it’s exactly the kind of fence we had discussed with them and wanted. They’ve even planted a couple of lovely flowering creepers to fill it in. That’s one less job we have to do over the Christmas holidays which is fantastic! Neighbour vetting has been completed for our DA and we are having our plans fixed up to have a 7.5m front setback as per councils request, we’d submitted it with 6.5 or 7, and they should be completed and sent in within a week. I’m still waiting for my kitchen quote but am pretty sure that is coming early next week, our kitchen guy was in contact on Friday getting our requests right for the estimations team so I had answered all his questions as they came through. Not much else to report other than the fact that every time I see our block I just love it more and more! viewtopic.php?f=31&t=89059 Our sea change forever dream home. Allworth Avalon / Sonata 19Oct 11, 2017 3:14 pm We received our kitchen quote today. Ive changed the sink to 2 double bowls with no drip tray. All the cabinetry was reasonably priced so I’m getting all my pot drawers and appliance tower and upgraded it to Laminex Silk in Polar White. I’m excited that the only cupboard on the bottom is the one under the sink and everything else is pot drawers. I love them!
We said no to the caesarstone and have decided to just go for 180FX Carrera Matte in Absolute Matte finish. It looks really gorgeous, I considered going for the same but in diamond gloss finish but was advised it scratched and the kitchen place wouldn’t warrant it. We have caesarstone at our current house and have already had 2 cracks repairs and a bunch of chips. The crack repairs look horrible though, so my husband was really against getting stone again due to this. I think our benches are either osprey or more likely ocean foam I was hoping that maybe we just got a bad batch. We weren’t able to claim warranty because the previous owner had put in the new kitchen to sell and he didn’t give us all of the receipts viewtopic.php?f=31&t=89059 Re: Our sea change forever dream home. Allworth Avalon / Son 20Oct 17, 2017 7:36 am Just read though your thread. Love all your choices and floor plan. What a beautiful part of the world you'll be moving to. You made the right choice going for the island bench 😉 Sounds like you're on a very similar timeframe to us. We are currently almost 7 weeks in council and praying we hear some news this week!! Also waiting on the kitchen plans to come back. yes it does, you've just not understood it. theres a difference. 4 5785 Your house should come in "as new" condition.
