What colour is your render? Everything is coming together so nicely I bet your modular lounge is amazing too! Hey JJ's! It's going to be painted a grey colour called 'London Fog' - at the moment its just the concrete render. and front door will be the same colour as the roof - surfmist.. so all features on front of house will either be surfmist, london fog grey or the brick - will all contrast nicely, can't wait to see the colours on!

Looking forward to seeing the colours come together - We're also having a surfmist roof and door It's finally happening!

Someone had booted in the garage entry door and come through, then left through the front door and left it wide open! =( Called the builder and they are sorting it out.. I don't think anything was taken as appliances aren't delivered yet but it is a bit concerning.. Also as we are on a corner block it's really the very edge of the development at the moment - the next stage has a lot more coming on our street but that won't be starting builds for a while... We'll definately be doing security screens before we move in now! They even tried to get in through our sliding door and snapped the handle off our jason slider bastards! ah well. I've heard it's pretty common - people trying to steal appliances and such... At least they didn't graffiti or break anything which i'm stoked about - could have been far worse and hey, at least we got to go in to have a peek around (since we needed to go in to close and lock the front door). Anyone else had theft happen on their site? We're not even living there but we still feel violated! Done it once.. Lived in it a year.. Sold it.. Doing it again! Addicted to Building..

Thats terrible news! It does happen a lot sadly. I follow the HIA on Facebook and they are always posting for information. I hope the builder was onto fixing it right away for you! I would feel violated too!! Rah at people!!! Buggers! Jen Building with HomeGroupWA (started as Scott Park Homes ) - Grand Wisteria Check out my Build Thread!! Time line on P1. First Homebuyers Building in Aveley (Celebration Homes) 94May 22, 2012 9:56 pm Everything is looking great , I love your window in the kitchen and tiling is looking great - you are well on your way now ! That's a complete bugger bout someone breaking in - good thing that your appliances weren't in yet - who knows the damage they would've caused to get them out ..When we built someone tried to steal our HWS once it was installed - they either got sprung or it was just too hard but they managed to crack the plastic casing and scratch the roof above it. More recently someone removed our roof tiles and tried to break in thru our manhole- but I must've come home and disturbed them, police and ellenbrook security said its very common in the area ATM. Coincidently there were roof tilers working on the new house over the road the same day - coincidence or ???? We weren't allowed to let our own contractors thru to measure up when we built , something to do with the builders insurance, but every builder may be different. I too like the cement render colour that it currently is haha We recently got a quote for security screen on front door only and that was just under $1k ! Let me know if you manage to get a more reasonable quote everyone here raves about a company here called ellenbrook d oors and screen s - might give him a go ! Got any pics of your new lounge ?? hope everything else is going well Z The road to success is always under construction House completed April 2011 - slowly making it a home... Re: First Homebuyers Building in Aveley (Celebration Homes) 95May 27, 2012 10:37 am So I went out Saturday morning for a look and as I drove around the corner got the first glimpse of the fully painted front! We definately chose right! (Except for the planter box.. it's surfmist white but I want it to be London Fog like the render.. but we will see once we move in). Heaps has been done - and I managed to get inside because the painter was there! Had a good chat too - he lives in the area and does a fair bit on weekends - he actually reported the break in before we did on that same day so thats good! The doors been nailed shut now so I think we should be okay now lol. Anyway - I'm too excited. Here we go! Front - Painted facade in the roof! love it! Front - other angle, painted gutters Side - gutters painted Ensuite - just waiting for the glass screen and mirror Toilet shot ha! - Didn't take a pic of the ensuite one for some reason =) Main Bathroom Laundry Sink Our Amazing Massive Oven - I can't believe these come as standard with Celebration builds And finally - amazing wine time alfresco So what's up next I hear you say! Pretty much flooring, touchups, fixing the door, few things to fit such as rangehood and shower screens. We are right on schedule if not ahead... PCI in mid June apparently looking to a move in date of first week of July. hopefully! We need to give notice on our rental real soon but we're scared of doing that since rentals are so tight a the moment it'll be like "we need to move out.." and they will just be like "leave.. now" lol...! I saw a home open for a rental the other day and there were about 50 people all running to it with their forms all in hand - so glad i'm building now, renting is just painful! EXCITED. Done it once..

Can't believe you'll be in mid-July! SO EXCITING! I'm so envious I can't believe someone broke in to your place! That's horrible! Why are people so dishonest? It's disgusting! And good idea to stay in the rental until it's time to get out... like you, I've seen rentals being snatched up left and right lately so if you've got a good one, hang on to it for as long as you need! Re: First Homebuyers Building in Aveley (Celebration Homes) 98May 27, 2012 10:10 pm You've got a spectacular house, loving how its all coming together - so exciting! ...and that sofa...*drools* ...You'll be having wine time in that alfresco before you know it What colour do you have for your bathroom & ensuite benchtops?

I like the contrasting render colours you have. think it will look fantastic with some beautiful leafy plants! Great oven too!!! What type of fan did you get? we are looking for an alfresco fan, shocked how much outdoor ones are! have been told so long as it is metal, it should be ok. so the next thing for us is we want a black outdoor one! all are silver! AAARGH! Nothing wrong with silver, but we want black...very hard to find! Re: First Homebuyers Building in Aveley (Celebration Homes) 100May 27, 2012 11:13 pm The JJs What colour do you have for your bathroom & ensuite benchtops? We've got a grey sort of almost concrete kind of colour, contrasts really well with the feature tiles and looks great =) Done it once.. Lived in it a year.. Sold it.. Doing it again!
