I asked two weeks ago when the flooring would be done, to be asked questions about colour choice today - so he hasn't even ordered the flooring yet! This is Mountain Chalet by Feltex Green carpets, in "Cloud Cover", which will be in the attic bedroom. It's a grey with no brown undertones, so nicely neutral.

When visiting the flooring retailer today, they told me that they are no longer carrying the bamboo flooring I had chosen. It is still possible to get it, but they felt there had been enough problems experienced Australia-wide for them not to be involved with it any more. The salesman suggested Oak flooring as a replacement, and, as I don't want to have shrinkage problems with the floors, and it isn't any more expensive, I've agreed to change. The ground floor, apart from laundry and bathroom, will be this: Compact Natural Oak Extra MattLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The rep from the manufacturer was in the store, and produced a brand new large size sample, so I could get a good feel of what it would be like. The sample was less pink than the picture above, and I think it will work quite well. And the first weekend in August last year - that's when the house should have been finished. That is a good choice , nice colours and ambiance. Re: Take Two 155Aug 04, 2018 7:51 am Love seeing your home come together it’s going to be beautiful when it’s finished. I thought that moving in would be an anticlimax after going 35 weeks past our contracted date but I have to say I am absolutely loving our home, there are a few things they need to come back and fix but overall it’s been worth the wait. Re: Take Two 156Aug 06, 2018 8:38 pm Hi Variegated, I'm new to this site and tried to PM you. Not sure if it worked? So sorry to see you are so close but not yet in. Hope it all gets finished off for you soon. I'm pretty confident we used the same builder and had very similar experience. Take Two 157Sep 01, 2018 12:43 pm Thank you to all those who have contacted me for support and to let me know about their own experiences with this builder. It really does help to know that it's not me, even though I am truly sorry to know that other people have had to live through this awful time as well. Yesterday morning I received an emailed Notice of Practical completion from the builder. I think I'm in shock! Is it possible I might actually get my house? 54 working weeks overdue.
