Is the door knob low or is it the picture angle?

Final inspection is scheduled for 26 July and PCI/Handover is 8 August. Very exciting! So right now the carpets are being laid, which will then be followed by a clean up of the house and site. We have quotes back for WIR installation as well as increasing storage in the laundry. We also have quotes on security screens and have picked out what we think will be our lighting choices. The priority now is to get some quotes on a driveway and paths around the house, since we want that done pretty much straight after handover You must be very excited! How long did your actual construction take? Please let me know how you go about your driveway and landscaping, we are doing it ourselves as well. Thanks. Re: Madison 35 by Clarendon Homes - Finishing touches 155Jul 10, 2019 2:00 pm 25 January 2019 was our site excavation, so through to 8 August 2019 is what... 28 weeks? We were originally told the average was 27 weeks for a 2 storey house our size, so that's been pretty accurate. We surged ahead at times and then had (sometimes sizable) delays at others, so it has all balanced out I guess. Yep will do - we'll send off for quotes for the driveway over the next couple of days I expect. The landscaping we might end up doing a fair bit of it ourselves - the garden edges and laying any irrigation will be the tricky points, but other than that I'm happy to toil away building the gardens up and laying turf.

My driveway guy is awesome. I have used him 3 or 4 times with various renos and new builds I have done. He also did all my earth moving to and all I had to pay was a per m2 laying fee to my landscaper. See if he will come down your way (i'm not super sure he will) but worth a call.

I think you're due for an update on your blog Re: Madison 35 by Clarendon Homes - Finishing touches 158Jul 11, 2019 7:31 am We got driveway extension and additional pathway concreting through the contractors Clarendon are using for the driveway: https://www.wilcost.com.au/. Bonus is Clarendon is letting them do the work at the same time as the original driveway was scheduled for. So same pour, which is great. Who did you get quotes from for WIR? Our current home, and for our new home, I am using https://www.justwardrobes.com.au/. I think we'll do most of our landscaping ourselves too. But we'll wait until after the pool install is complete, which will be done after handover.

They've finished the bricks, rendering and gyprock so heaps has happened! I have been getting home from work to late to get photos. So I pinky swear I will get some over the weekend.

They only give 1 shelf and a hanging rail. If I have to put any flat pack robes then I cant do that, unless I dont take the robes at all or take them out after handover? the stair balustrades? There is nothing special about these and I imagine literally every stair installer will be able to do this. 1 6748 The two 15mm holes are obviously not compliant. The Dept of Fair Trading would love to see this one! Do the gutters pool water after it stops raining? Although it's… 4 7873 yes it does, you've just not understood it. theres a difference. 4 5341 |
