We have a bit problem with our stacker door as I did not carefully read the variation. We have 3 set of stacker doors to Family, Alfresco and Dinning at 2430mm but our stacker doors to court yard only at 2024mm...The highlight windows to our courtyard are standard so we did upgrade but stacker doors are only 2024mm If I red carefully I would request 2430mm height /quote] Thanks for your comments, kiki. Oh no... for the sliding door, can you still change it, Kiki? You might probably get $$ variation changes only?? With Wisdom, any variation after contract signed, will get charge $250 admin cost ..... That's why we chose really carefully last year...and we chose "safe colors" so it will last longer. Re: Journey of Building a Wisdom home (Boston 50.7sq) 14Apr 11, 2012 10:49 pm kikichan Love your color scheme M Did your underground water tank locate in the rear yard? and do you still have a free access to the rear yard? If so, you can organize the rear yard very easy with cheaper cost M. Thanks, Kiki!! Yes, the underground water is at rear yard, we have access thru the 3rd garage door. I expect the higher cost will be for the retaining wall....we'll need 900mm high ret. wall, but good news is according to the 2 landscapers I met today, it won't need to go to council or need engineer's details. I met these 2 landscapers today and they both are very professional, hopefully will get the quotes next week. www.greenwaylandscapes.com.au www.assetlandscapes.com.au Re: Journey of Building a Wisdom home (Boston 50.7sq) 15Apr 11, 2012 10:52 pm kiwi yay, you have a thread and YOU HAVE A HUGE HOUSE!!! there was just dirt a month ago..yay!!! looks fantastic, you must be so excited. house warming at yours, as we missed the slab dance Ha..ha..ha...Hi, Kiwi!! Nice to get a visit from you.... Yes, we missed the slab dance....but the house warming will be at gogo's first, then me...you'll get 2 parties....

Re: Journey of Building a Wisdom home (Boston 50.7sq) 16Apr 11, 2012 11:22 pm Oh, here's the colors selection for the carpets, we'll use cream for stairs and upstairs, and darker brown for home theater only : http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd444/willcress/022-1.jpg The Tiles for Main bathroom, Ensuites and Powder room : http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd444/willcress/001-1.jpg Tiles for Kid's bathrooms : http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd444/willcress/002-1.jpg All "safe" colors... chosen by my DH...(I have a poor taste, he said... ) And here's the front door, gogo, I took it from one of the house in Bella Vista, but mine without the handles... : http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd444/willcress/0027.jpg Oh, and the brick "Grays point" color will be like this (taken from someone's house at penrith) : http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd444/willcress/006-2.jpg Re: Journey of Building a Wisdom home (Boston 50.7sq) 17Apr 11, 2012 11:30 pm Good luck with your build. Looks very grand and awesome! Not to be rude or anything but every time I see houses being built over east it reminds me of a tale about three little pigs... Why only in WA houses are built with double bricks? Is there any particular reason why houses in eastern states have timber frames (matchstick houses) and not bricks? Is it better for energy rating or something like that? Re: Journey of Building a Wisdom home (Boston 50.7sq) 18Apr 11, 2012 11:44 pm AubinGroveFan willcres Good luck with your build.

Why only in WA houses are built with double bricks? Is there any particular reason why houses in eastern states have timber frames (matchstick houses) and not bricks? Is it better for energy rating or something like that? Thank you, AubinGroveFan... I have no idea about the houses in East with timber frames and not double bricks.... (But they last long though...some even more than 30 years old and still resaleable... ) This is my first build. I can have double bricks but unnecessary and the cost is too much !! I think timber can adjust to our 4 weather seasons easily... And, maybe WA is closer to the tropical weather?? The bricks will cool down the house?? I'm from Indonesia and all our houses also double bricks. So maybe that answers your question ??

Fowler have not charged for admin fee for any variation after contract signed but they have refused variation in many cases. I love your front door. Is it an upgrade? how much for that? We land width is just over 15m and side setback rule is 2m so our house width is only over 11m.
