Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This is a representation of our facade, with a prominent portico. We are also getting eaves, so the solution is to extend the portico towards the street by the same amount as the width of the eaves, 600mm overall. This keeps the portico standing proud of the house by the same amount as if eaves are not there. Re: Have I missed anything? 14Mar 03, 2008 8:03 am Thanks VJ - Will definatly book a walk through of 501 - I got some great ideas of colours from the display home - I know I want an all white kitchen and the bathroom in the Laguna was perfect so I'll have to find out the names of the colours and then check them out at 501 - I'm sure they are upgrades
Oh while I'm at it I'll ask you V - Did M give you an option of refridgerated a/c, or did they tell you the same as Ray - that it wasn't an option? Also did you keep the standard R 4.0 Ceiling and R 2.0 insulation for Walls or did you upgrade? (Excluding home theatre) The solid doors and sliding pantry/laundry is a good one!!! Hmm I'll have to see about the eaves etc, i can't remember if the one at pt. cook had them or not Thanks again guys - I have a list of 35+ extras to get quotes for! Re: Have I missed anything? 15Mar 03, 2008 5:29 pm Belinda,
If you want the same colours/finishes as that of Laguna (Pt Cook), you just have to ask your colour consultant during your colour selection appointment. When you go to Studio 501 for a tour, the people there don't have a list of the colours used in different display centres. You will be able to get those colours, as I've said, during your colour selection appointment. We weren't interested with refrigerated a/c that is why we didn't ask. Re: the insulation, we didn't upgrade. Quote: The solid doors and sliding pantry/laundry is a good one!!! Definitely, saves space! Re: the eveas, I checked your facade, it doesn't have the eaves yet. So, you need to upgrade if you want one, and it might not look good on that facade. The Modern facade is a nice one and it's got eaves already! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping! Re: Have I missed anything? 16Mar 03, 2008 6:41 pm VJ - We must have very similiar tastes as the modern facade is actually my favourite one!! I'll get a quote tomorrow -(yup I have my appointment finally!!)
I will definatly ask about the bathroom colours in the Laguna display home - one less job to have to decide on too! That's good I don't have to worry about upgrading insulation either - I am saving more money as I go!! There is a new current promo offering 1 of 2 options for free, you can choose from one which includes driveway, paths, tiles to ground floor, carpet to the remainder and flyscreens to all openable windows OR one that includes higher ceilnigs, downlgihts, pivo front door, caesersone benches to kitchen, o'head cupboards, stainless dishwasher, tiled shower base and laundry fitout (very similar to the indulgence promo they have for $5000 but a few changes) so I think I may pay he $5000 for the indulgence ack and choose the first option so I can get the driveway etc for free, however, I will just tell them to exclude the tiles (as I want timber) and instead upgrade the carpet....hopefully they will agree I'll find out about the refridgerated a/c tomorrow too! Very excited - will let you all know how we go!

You would get a small credit for item replaced (eg. tiles) and an expensive cost for the replacement (e.g timber flooring). That is, if they agree. I reckon the carpets and tiles are all category 1. Compute first whether you would save more by choosing option 1. I have the quote for category 1 floor tiles/carpets (but it's for the signature houses). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping! Re: Have I missed anything? 18Mar 03, 2008 7:36 pm Hmm I see your point V - your right, I was originally just going to pay the $5000 for the indulgence pack and then they told me about choosing one of these options for 'free' and it sounded to good to be true
I'll just get all the quotes tomorrow and work from there... I had an old shower unit that broke on me and when I took it off, there were only 2 water pipes, instead of the normal 2 water pipes and a shower head pipe. S o I… 0 36878 6 11469 Thanks mate.
