Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Our new home- Front facade almost complete! 292Nov 03, 2017 11:08 pm Wow, what a difference today, with just a little paint. Really can't wait to see it with garage door down and front door painted to get a picture of the finished facade, then get those fences down! There is only one coat of paint on the pillars but looks so good already, painter has been asked not to do more until the converters have finished the driveway.

Screed was done today... Apparently tiler will take a week to finish maybe 2. Driveway should be done within 2 weeks and fit out will take 2 weeks. So looking like we should get in for xmas! Painter will be onsite tomorrow to finish my front door and a few other bits. So as long as I get there when he's there I get to go onsite, I'm also hoping the tiler may find it in his heart to come past to do the water proofing...but I doubt he will. Re: Our new home 293Nov 04, 2017 7:02 pm Painter onsite again today for his last offical day. He will be back to do any touch ups etc, and last coat of render once concreter has finished the driveway and alfresco.
Pantry is massive there is more shelves on the left. Not sure what we are going to put in there! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Alfresco. That pole was supposed to be surfmist (because according to the colour consultant it would be better, then how it ends at the top, seeing as the rest was surfmist, even though the downpipe was monument. I just agreed at the time thinking I would end up painting it later, but the painter asked if I wanted it grey and I said yes! so much better. We want to eventually extend the alfresco towards the rear of the house, add some concrete and some form of roof- were thinking about those nice patterned panels to let light in and have a little shade, rather than a roof.

Was going to paint the front door a different colour one day.. see how I go i'm not sure what colour. I rigged it up in photoshop and red doesn't look any good... green, blue, blue-green, purple? I like the deep dark colours.. But as it is now is nice and bright. Maybe when it gets dirty hahah, it will get painted.

The cross over is also done along with the alfresco, laundry door step and garage doorstep. Wasn't expecting that today, although it was going to be done by then end of next week anyway.

We also got our gas meter put in today! The bank is also going to be doing their inspection within the next 2-10 days, apparently they don't need to see it finished. Still no action on the tile front ;( Boo! When the tiles are done, then the electrician and plumber can come, then the flooring and appliances etc.. ooo.. can we be in before Christmas?? Re: Our new home 298Nov 11, 2017 1:15 pm Nice crossover and driveway. I didn’t know you can do your own crossover. Ours has been done by council and is smaller so driveway is not rectangle. It is straight in one end and curved on the other to meet the small crossover. Re: Our new home 299Nov 11, 2017 3:11 pm Wow thats a bit of a pain having it smaller than the driveway. I've been looking at some of the driveways in the area, the ones on hills and there are some awkward to navigate ones out there. I've always had a level driveway so this will be interesting for a little while! Im in Victoria, some of the estates have them pre done but ours we had to do ourselves- just got the builder to do it. I actually wish we could have cut the drain part out so it would be flat- again I guess its something you will get used to. Went past the house today and the concreters been to cut the concrete and the concrete looks weird! It looks like a leopard and is all spotty. I will question that if it doesn't change in the next couple of weeks. Still no tiler.
