It's interesting how different builders do it to different schedules (ours did the ceilings first and then the white set). Either way there's usually a gap between the bottom of the cornice and the wall, which they usually fill with a flexible gap filler. I think it might be because the same tradie will do the ceilings and the upper floor as its gyprock. They probably only want to get him out once I'd say!

Not much more done inside, still waiting for the plasterer to finish and then the gyprockers can come in. Other half had a site meeting yesterday and apparently we'll be at lock up in about 2 weeks and handover in approximately November 😬 Re: Our build with Express Two Storey (Ventura) in South Wes 71Jun 19, 2019 11:20 pm That's pretty good going for a double storey. The internals do seem to take a long time. Ours has been really dragging the last couple of weeks. Originally they said June for us, however even though there's hardly anything left to do it feels like its taking forever.....can't wait for handover!

Have you got a nice feature light planned for hanging above it? Sometimes we regret doing a single storey.... Im not too sure if the light is a ceiling light or a wall mounted light, I have been thinking about that the past few days actually! Would be cool to have a feature if its a ceiling light, will have to dig out the electrical plan 🤔 Re: Our build with Express Two Storey (Ventura) in South Wes 78Jul 09, 2019 8:10 pm Nothing really going on for about 2 weeks, staircase went in today though and lockup is scheduled for tomorrow so hopefully theres no more periods of stagnation.

We’ve got the same problem. Even for IKEA you’re looking at over $2k for something decent. If you do custom cabinetry in there, the price could shoot up to even $5-6k! We didn’t realise how big they drew ours until later on when I saw that it measured 2.5x2.9m.

We didn’t realise how big they drew ours until later on when I saw that it measured 2.5x2.9m. Haha thats pretty much the same size as ours! Our master got extended by half a meter and as a result the WIR got a little bit massive. We have been looking at options and its probably going to end up being something very basic due to the cost, its crazy!
