Re: Annietom's off and running, 2 July slab 9Jul 08, 2009 11:34 pm thanks guys, and hels I think you are right about the size of the rooms, although, they looked small to me too, and I'm an optimist! and joles, although I am a bit **, I did disclose my situation in code in your thread, and essentially, it had nothing to do with sneakiness, actually, have you heard about laziness? that would be it!!! haha A thankful person is a happy person.

As others have said, don't worry about the areas looking small on the slab, it always looks heaps smaller than it really is, we thought the same about some of our rooms but now they feel huge. I bet you can't wait to see your frame. We are building a custom build so I know how good it was to actually be able to walk through the rooms for the 1st time in real life after months of seeing them on paper and hoping it all works without having had a display home to walk through. I'll look forward to seeing a floorplan soon.

I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.

Your block and slab look fabulous.....you must be elated to finally get this build off and running! Looking forward to seeing the frame....hope you don't keep us hanging! Oh! and welcome to the "my rooms look small" at slab stage club ....apparantly once the plaster goes up they'll look bigger. Give me until next week and l'll be able to confirm this myself! Re: Annietom's off and running, 2 July slab 14Jul 09, 2009 10:05 pm yes I actually went down there today, and me and me neighbour were wandering around the slab (with our kids around our ankles - as you do!) and she said the same thing about the plaster going up. Also I noted they had chalked out the wall alignments for the frame to come, obviously we are anticipating that act each day - hopefully by end of next week, which is what Nava said it would be! But it helped a bit with the lines drawn out, but I think you are right, I need walls, ideally plaster. I still stand in the home theatre (4m x 5m) and say - "oh no, this is not big enough" (as I look over to the garage and say "now that's a home theatre size"), and then I go into the study and say "well this is huge"... so obviously I'm a bit off-balance with some things in life, like depth perception!!! haha A thankful person is a happy person.

The "it's too small" perception only increases when the frame goes up l reckon, so don't stress yourself even more if this turns out to be the case for you too. The only room l have no worry with the size is my Rumpus (it is huge even at this stage), the rest l'm still iffy on and yes the HT room is my biggest concern. I just have to keep reminding myself to "wait for the plaster, just wait for the plaster" Sounds like your frame delivery is not too far away! tomorrow perhaps? Re: Annietom's off and running, 2 July slab 16Jul 10, 2009 5:12 pm I was wondering as to what had happened to you Congrats on the slab and finally getting started Re: Annietom's off and running, 2 July slab 17Jul 10, 2009 7:31 pm hey tillie!!! yes, they chalked out where the frame goes a couple of days ago, so maybe when we visit over the weekend, there might be something there... then again...

We went out there today and had a walk through, very windy, very cold, but quite sunny! Naturally I was armed with my camera... We've been advised by Nava that the trusses will be in by next Tues, and the downpipes etc will be in by next Friday. That sounds good to us!
