Makes a world of difference but will cost you Rami_m Hey mate. Where is the build. We are going with the 39 Manhattan too. Have you been on site yet? How is the ceiling hight? We are thinking going 3 meters ourselves. Nice! We are at Kellyville. How do you find wisdom so far? Been in a few open homes and liked the extra hight. What made you go all the way to 320? Re: Wisdom Homes - Manhattan 39 Build Thread 45Sep 11, 2018 7:21 pm Drove past the house today and my SS was out front so he was kind enough to take me through the house. House is going well. Week of 10th Sept - wet area tiling completion, benchtops and basins and some tapware in. Alarm and electrical and aircon work as well. Pantry, WIR measure ups likely this week/next and then once that's all done and then gyprock maintainance and painting and we are almost complete.

Not much activity happening lately and this wet weather hasn't helped as we are waiting on pool works to complete. Also waiting shower screen install and tiling to complete due to not having enough tiles and needing to be sent from Italy. Not much left to do but these last few weeks have felt like a drag...

I have a question for you (and anyone else that can comment) 1. did you go via CDC or DA? I have been advised that the Private Certifier is citing that to comply, the Parapet must be no more than 1m from the gutter line. Yours and everyone else's (including Wisdom's standard Designer Facade- no balcony) exceeds this measurement. 2. Is your Garage Door 'smooth finish'? I am planning on ordering the BnD Panel lift Icon, in Nullabor Smooth (upgraded from Steel line Smooth due to 'oil canning') and wanted to know if you have seen the 'issue' Some say that the textured finish is less prone to 'oil canning' but id love to hear your actual experience. Thanks Re: Wisdom Homes - Manhattan 39 Build Thread 52Nov 26, 2018 6:24 pm GLO Hi Doosra, Inching closer I see!

I should have upgraded to poly as you can tell it's not the best quality. The charcoal color in the photo though is laminate but turned out really nice. And also, probably should have made the showers bigger. In 2 bathrooms they are 930 x 930. Pretty tight. Can someone please offer some advice? Im DESPERATE.
