We only made one change to it. Originally the 3rd bedroom was a bedroom and study, but both were really small, so we combined the 2 rooms. It will make a pretty big room, but I'm sure we can make use of it.

They have said that they won't give us an ok to start date until the extension has been approved. I'm hoping it doesn't take too long. They have also put in the letter that the estimated slab pour date is 4th October. This had better be worst case scenario, because I'm not patient enough to sit around for the next 3 months with nothing happening. contract signed: Nov 09 Released to Construction: 23 Jul 10 Slab poured: 9 Aug 10 Frame completed: 30 Aug 10 Windows & Gutters: 7 Sep 10 Bricks: 15 - 23 Sep 10 Roof: 24 Sep 10 Gyprock: 20 Oct 10 Lockup: 25 Oct 10 Kitchen: 27 Oct 10 Tiling: 6 - 9 Nov 10 Painting: 17 Nov 10 Carpet: 30 Nov 10 PCI: 15 Dec 10 Handover: 17 Dec 10 https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=35943 Re: Carlswil's Statesman Tusmore 9Jul 14, 2010 9:14 am Nice plan Carlswil! 3 living spaces! Wow! Start buying furniture Totally agree that Bed 3 would have been way too small if it was divided into 2 rooms. How big is your block of land? Hope you don't have to wait till October for the slab. Re: Carlswil's Statesman Tusmore 10Jul 14, 2010 10:56 am We definately need to buy furniture, but we don't have anywhere to put it just yet. It'll be so nice to start shopping for house things.

Hopefully it doesn't take them to long to assess it. Here are some of our colour selections. I'll put pictures up of some things, once I've charged my camera. I hope it all comes together ok, i'm a little concerned about how things are going to look. Exterior: tiles - Boral shadow grey bricks - Austral Settlers grey gutters, downpipes, window frames - paperbark Roller doors - wilderness front door - I think wilderness, but can't really remember Interior: Kitchen bench - Vulcan stone. We couldn't afford to upgrade, so went with the standard range. I really wanted gloss, but the colour selections lady talked us out of it. I've pretty well regretted that ever since, but worst case if we hate it, we'll change it once we're in Cupboards - Rock Salt. I'm not sure about these, and haven't seen any pictures on here of them. I can't remember what we chose for the laundry, bathroom and ensuite. I'll update this when I know. Paint colour - First Snow. We wanted a neutral colour. I wish we could change it now. We were looking at a display home on the weekend with grey walls (not light grey), and it looked really good. I wasn't overly pleased with the tile selections we were given. I think we more chose what we disliked the least, rather than what we liked. contract signed: Nov 09 Released to Construction: 23 Jul 10 Slab poured: 9 Aug 10 Frame completed: 30 Aug 10 Windows & Gutters: 7 Sep 10 Bricks: 15 - 23 Sep 10 Roof: 24 Sep 10 Gyprock: 20 Oct 10 Lockup: 25 Oct 10 Kitchen: 27 Oct 10 Tiling: 6 - 9 Nov 10 Painting: 17 Nov 10 Carpet: 30 Nov 10 PCI: 15 Dec 10 Handover: 17 Dec 10 https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=35943 Re: Carlswil's Statesman Tusmore - Land settlement done 12Jul 15, 2010 11:22 am Hi carlswil, great to see you have started your own thread. Congratulations on settlement. I love your house plan and am looking forward to seeing samples of the colours you have chosen. What a pain if you have to wait until October for a slab, that would drive me insane knowing that the land was ready to go. Fingers crossed it gets brought forward for you. Re: Carlswil's Statesman Tusmore - Land settlement done 13Jul 15, 2010 11:37 am Thanks Cous1981 I think the builder is waiting for the FHOG extension to be approved (not that this is relevant to them, but they think it is), and then we'll be released to construction. Hopefully this happens soon. I'm not a patient person and I'm sick of waiting. contract signed: Nov 09 Released to Construction: 23 Jul 10 Slab poured: 9 Aug 10 Frame completed: 30 Aug 10 Windows & Gutters: 7 Sep 10 Bricks: 15 - 23 Sep 10 Roof: 24 Sep 10 Gyprock: 20 Oct 10 Lockup: 25 Oct 10 Kitchen: 27 Oct 10 Tiling: 6 - 9 Nov 10 Painting: 17 Nov 10 Carpet: 30 Nov 10 PCI: 15 Dec 10 Handover: 17 Dec 10 https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=35943 Re: Carlswil's Statesman Tusmore - Land settlement done 14Jul 15, 2010 11:46 am I am exactly the same, I feel for you. Re: Carlswil's Statesman Tusmore - getting close 15Jul 19, 2010 3:12 pm Heard from the builder today, they will release us to construction on Friday.
