Re: Custom Build @ The Summit, Mt Barker 9May 30, 2011 3:07 pm Thankyou! It took such a long time to meld together all the different designs I liked AND work with the encumbrances on the block! The only thing I hate about building (apart from the time it takes to build) is all the compromises you have to make to keep a reasonable price - I would have loved ceasarstone benchtops but just couldn't afford it, Another living area would have been good - and then i realised you have to get a grip, my parents house is much smaller than this one so i shouldnt be complaining about benchtops!

You'd laugh at us - we are supposed to be "down sizing" but this house is huge for 2 people - the garden is the only thing that's shrunk For info on our build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43093 Built the McLaren by Dechellis - slab down 22 Feb - handover 30 Aug 2011 - and gardens finished 9 Dec 2012!!

Well you'll have to be patient - we're locked out and it's up to DH to take them when he can get in during the day - I was lucky yesterday that people were working there so he got in!!

Re: Custom Build @ The Summit, Mt Barker 14Jun 02, 2011 8:10 pm Meshed! Im told our company pours slabs on Fridays - so here's hoping tomorrow is dry. I have explained to the weather that it would be inconvenient for us to rain, so im pretty sure it will be dry Re: Custom Build @ The Summit, Mt Barker 15Jun 03, 2011 9:12 am Well we are due some showers today - fingers crossed they miss Mt Barker!!

I must admit I am stalking your build already, picked the kids up on Tuesday and dragged them to the estate yet again. Not that anything is happening at our site yet but I did go and have a look at yours. Love you plans. How lucky were you to sell so quickly. We had our house on the market at the end of Nov got a contract it fell through subject to sale then they sold a week later and bought another house. But we have sold now less money but hey in this climate lucky to have sold at all. can't. Re: Custom Build @ The Summit, Mt Barker - SLABBED TODAY! 19Jun 03, 2011 9:40 pm I am glad I have a stalker! I really should have started this earlier - I needed someone to talk to to about selection etc and my husband was useless! Thank God i found this site - I have stalked so many other builds to get ideas...now it's my turn to give back! I Hope to get to the Summit tomorrow to get pictures of the slab - we have photos of them pouring today but there were so many trucks we couldnt get a decent shot. Totally desperate to walk around on it. What a bugger about your house - but at least its gone now - onward and upward - when will you start your build do you know?

Cheers 2 9123 I'd get the gutters to match your roof and pipes to match the paint - otherwise they become a feature. Nice pick with the paint colours! 1 34450 |
