Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Coral Homes - Avoca 23 16Dec 02, 2017 10:57 am CC7 StephLee CC7 [quote="bananarama"]Is that the correct orientation of your plan? We based our custom design on the Avoca 26, and then made a walk in pantry behind the kitchen BUT we didn’t put a window in the walk in part so now we are limited with fridges because the wall blocks the fridge door opening (to the right) super wide, even with having it push to the left side of the 1 m wide space! The window might actually give you more space to open the door! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Oh the window could allow a little extra room then. I love what you have done to create the butler's pantry, but yes that is so annoying about the fridge! How wide is your fridge? Here is our plan for the kitchen: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ the depth for our space is only 600, so anything will stick out that we purchase. It says 950 is the max width for the fridge. We will be buying a fridge closer to the build, we had our eye on one that was only 700m wide but we haven't look into it too much. My partner is keen on the french door type and i think that's where we will run into troubles. We really want enough space in case we change our minds when we go to buy it what issues do you have with the fridge doors? do they stop the drawers from fully pulling out? thank you so much for your comment, it's something we really need to sorted before signing off on anything If you want a French door Fridge in the future I would suggest swapping the Fridge to the other side so it opens up onto the walkway instead of a wall? We had the same issue and swapped ours so it now opens into the laundry which will be fine with the door open The main issue is that the doors open more than straight so to open it fully and use the fridge you can’t have a wall next to the Fridge space. Hope that makes sense! We had thought of that also, i would prefer to have it off on the end furthest away from the hallway but if the fridge is going to have issues we may have to do that instead . I guess we'll be spending our sunday morning looking at how fridges open now HAHA Your post has been a huge help, I loved that you put in the prices for the items you chose in colours. We have been there twice already for a look around, but i've totally saved some of your photos of the items i forgot to take a photo off I'm going to go off and look at your plan again with the fridge[/quote] Aw yay! It’s so good to know I’ve actually helped someone I struggled so much in the beginning because all the information I needed wasn’t available. Good luck with the Fridge issue Re: Coral Homes - Avoca 23 17Dec 02, 2017 11:04 am bananarama CC7 bananarama Is that the correct orientation of your plan?

If you are shopping for one, look for: One without door handles (allows door to open a bit more before something hits wall or window) One where the internal lip on the door starts above the drawers height (I’ve highlighted the lip part that I’m talking about) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Also, moving the window closer to the island will give you a bit of space for the fridge to stick out without blocking it. I don’t think it matters if it’s further right than centred because you will only tell that if you stand in the middle of the walkway. From all other angles you won’t be able to tell RE water tank.... depending on what windows you decide to go with in the media, you could put the tank in the corner next to your Ensuite toilet. Thank you so much for this, I see the issue! That is so annoying, and it sounds like you left quite a bit of room when you designed I remember seeing a fridge and being able to pull out the fridge drawers with the door in position like that, as they had the shelving of the door to suite (so the drawer in the main area would slide out and it would go in between two of the door shelves, it wouldn't hit anything) but now that i think of it, i think the issue was with the drawers in the freezer at the bottom I think our media room is a standard window size so i think the water tank would be seen from there. gah!

I’m not sure how big yours would be, but our hot water system sits 1400 from finished floor level. If the bottom of your window is above that, you could fit it under neath maybe? Re: Coral Homes - Avoca 23 20Dec 02, 2017 5:21 pm mj-mac4 Just wanted to say hello! We are building the grange 25 with coral in tweed heads. We are just waiting for a start date. Will be following along 😄 Hi! So many Coral builds going on, I love it Do you have a thread yet? Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 7227 Can you give advice on how to get missing certificates needed for a form 21? Our bank requires us to provide one but we are missing 4 building certificates from our first… 3 57297 yes it does, you've just not understood it. theres a difference. 4 2783 |
