We have finished our product selections and I have pictures on the blog. We also had a good meeting with our builder and he is telling me that the slab should be poured by Mid September, I hope he is right because this will be more than a monnth ahead of schedule. He also threw in a suggestion that we change from Tassie Oak floorboards to Bamboo. Mrs B is happy with this as we can get a darker stain with Bamboo but I am not so sure. I think we will run with it but any comments, story's or feedback on bamboo floorboards would be greatly appreciated. Lets hope with my next post I can announce construction has started Blog: http://funmore-residence.blogspot.com/ Forum: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=21109 Construction Start - 19/09/09 Slab Poured - 21/10/09 Frame Completed - 25/11/09 Lockup - 22/12/09 Fixing - 22/02/10 Handover & Moved In 30/04/2010 Re: The MaxyB Family Home - Product Selections Complete 13Aug 23, 2009 5:54 am that looks great some of your picks are similaar to ours' our feature tiles are like yours but in a green tone Re: The MaxyB Family Home - Product Selections Complete 14Aug 23, 2009 10:18 am milly_monster that looks great some of your picks are similaar to ours' our feature tiles are like yours but in a green tone Cool, I will be interested to see how your place comes along Its a funny thing about selected products without really seeing them all together in someone else's house, you just hope you get it right.

Yes and you seek the advice of others but you worry if they are honest in their feedback In the end you just have to do your best and then live with the consequences I do think that unless yur going totally out there is your choices in most cases no matter what you you do I am sure it will work out Blog: http://funmore-residence.blogspot.com/ Forum: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=21109 Construction Start - 19/09/09 Slab Poured - 21/10/09 Frame Completed - 25/11/09 Lockup - 22/12/09 Fixing - 22/02/10 Handover & Moved In 30/04/2010 Re: The MaxyB Family Home - Product Selections Complete 17Aug 24, 2009 3:09 pm Looking great MaxyB.

I am waiting for construction to start. I am waiting for my emails to be answered and I am waiting for the inevitable call for more money. I have been in contact with my builder about Air Conditioning, specifically a quote for installing "add-on" air con. I managed to get a quote from a 3rd party and I got a 1 line quote from my builder, and that 1 line was the cost. It was 55% above the quote from the 3rd party, so obviously I asked for a breakdown, and it’s this breakdown I am still waiting on. As I mentioned in earlier posts my builder suggested we install Bamboo floors instead of our Tassie Oak floorboards. I said no worries, get me a quote and we will see how we go. Again my builder gave me a quote that contained just the cost, so again I asked for more information, like what type of Bamboo floor will be installed? How do you intend on laying the floor? Guess what? Yep I am still waiting for this information. It’s been over a week since I have heard from my builder and my most recent email is yet to be responded to, maybe it’s because I asked questions about my building permit and an estimated start date for construction. As a result I have decided this will be my final post in my thread until I see some action, be that clarification on my air con & floor quotes, notification of when construction will start, or even actual physical evidence that construction has started, because this waiting is doing my head in!

Our Building Permit was issued on the 10th of September and I am told the “Official” Start Date is the 1st of October. Now the word “official” is a bit flaky as they do still mention starting earlier but either way I have a start date and I couldn’t be happier ………….. for now, next I want a slab. As for our variations, I am still waiting on a breakdown of the AirCon but we have confirmed that we are getting Strand Woven Bamboo Floorboards, an external GPO for the water tank pump and Vinyl Wrap kitchen cupboards doors and draws. So finally I feel as we are getting some where, even though we have achieved so much in such a short time. We walked into the display house on Saturday June 6 and now just over 3.5 months later our new house will spring from the ground and grow into our family home.
