Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 128Jul 29, 2010 9:13 am Jennie_ danana We picked the same tiles as you, not what I remember from our selections either. I thought they were more grey looking. but close enough haha. Hi Danana, I actually thought they were more coffee coloured and when he opened the box they looked like light grey. I kept telling the SS that it was more milk and water than Iced Coffee lol. Easy to hide the soap scum anyway Jen Honestly its so hard to remember all the selections 4-6 months on. I just know that when we looked, it all matched, and all looked fantastic, so thats what we should end up with!

Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 129Jul 29, 2010 6:39 pm Well YAY I can report some progress on my build I went for a drive past this morning and we now have a building pad (and a MJH sign). I think it must have been done in the early hours this moring because it poored rain yesterday. And the pad is no small task ... our block is on a big slope and they must have trucked in tonnes and tonnes of dirt. I will take a photo and post tomorrow (it will be my first photo so fingers crossed) and I should probably start my own thread too. I am sooo excited to see what comes next Bizzie & Jennie, both places are flying along and look great. Keep posting those photos! X69, that sounds really odd about your power. I hope you get it sorted soon. When I rang to ask my energy provider made out like I was nuts for asking as if 3 phase is standard. I hope this is right.

That seems quite a lot, do you have huge site costs??? Our colour selections cost us another $25k, but i'm suspecting what we got at colour's you may have included in your tender/quote.

And that's the good part. I rang Energy Aus who told me, yes it is a straight forward procedure to get a 3 phase supply. Just submit a planning form and they will assess the need, but if you want it right now, then I would be paying for the street upgrade, an approx cost of $300k!!!!!!!!!!!!! After that, the $4k for a single phase aircon unit looked very cheap! Other than that, small steps right now. Had the gas bottle delivered and connected during the week and a few other little things (gaps above door lintels covered over). Seems a little frustrating right now that we can see an almost finished house and we can't move into it! But we'll get there.....

Bugger! True, spitting distance from Eraring PS and we haven't got 3-phase, it is a bit ironic! Anyway, just the sewer to be connected, finish of some electriclas and the floor and we are in. Hope we can have that done by the end of Aug. Oh, yes, we spent about $9 on electricals, and about $20k on colour (without floors).

Looking forward to seeing some pics. Xiphaias - Good to hear you have solved your prob. Pity you can't get Phase 3 power now though.
