Browse Forums Building A New House Re: The Story of Stormy's Castle. *Loooooong overdue update* 63Aug 02, 2008 12:24 pm donuts Good luck Stormy! The plans sound exciting - can you scan in a pic of the elevations for us? I'd like to, Donuts, but the scanner is already packed! I'll take some pics of the elevations and post them...at some stage! We have a very busy weekend clearing out more stuff! We've also discovered that the cupboard we've requested in the study isn't deep enough, and that will have to be altered aswell. Hopefully we can do it without being a PCV, but it may cost as more as there will be about 200mm extra building supplies Thanks all for your well wishes! I'll let you all know how it goes.

We had our contract appointment this morning, and all ran very smoothly...including the pen for the 250 initials and signatures! There were a few other little issues we picked up on. The extra powerpoint in the garage was drawn at the wrong height, the hallway 2 way switch was in the wrong place, and a few changes to a couple of windows. Otherwise, it's all done, and we have signed 30 years of our life away!! Looks like it's all systems go for moving in about 3 weeks, demo in 6 and site start within 12 weeks. I always said I was going to break open the champers after contract signing...but I have packed it all! Thanks H3nl3y! Everyone we have dealt with have been absolutely fantastic. My fingers are firmly crossed for a smooth build. Henley - Wilshire Mk 3 ... I love my house!!

Glad to hear the pen held up and that there wasn't any major issues.
Great to hear that things have and are going well with you and your builder... Good luck with your starting dates. Re: The Story of Stormy's Castle. *Loooooong overdue update* 67Aug 04, 2008 1:51 pm Congratulations Stormy

That's the hardest part of the whole process I reckon... signing on the dotted line Now you can sit a deck chair out the front of your block and watch the progress with a martini Alan and Thuy in Melbourne Building a second time! Re: The Story of Stormy's Castle. *Loooooong overdue update* 69Aug 04, 2008 2:34 pm Stormy [ I always said I was going to break open the champers after contract signing...but I have packed it all! Quick - go buy another bottle and drink out of a plastic cup if you have to!!! You deserve it after that Or is it more that I have given up for a month and am living through anyone that is willing to drink it??? Paula Re: The Story of Stormy's Castle. *Loooooong overdue update* 75Aug 05, 2008 10:51 am Thanks for all your kind wishes!
I still haven't had any champers...3 of us have a terrible cold, and that's the last thing I feel like at the moment! It'll have to wait for another day. I've taken a photo of the front elevation...and that's all I'm prepared to do due to copyright reasons. I've also blanked measurements etc, but at least you get an idea of what it will look like and how it will sit with the cut and fill. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ It's a fairly plain and classic looking facade, due to building in an existing suburb...I didn't want something very modern that would stick out like 'you know what'! And this design will tie in with other houses (although, naturally, it will be the best looking house in the street ). I can't wait to see it all come together, and judging by how quickly this year is going already, it won't be long until we are in it, and enjoying our 40 squares of space! Freely available internet plan is here to refresh your memories! This is all I'm prepared to post, again, due to copyright. There aren't many changes except a few added doors, window changes and the Grande Alfresco out the back of the familyroom/meals. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I forgot to mention this thread and my blog to H3nl3y during the contract signing, but if they look at the forum regularly I'm sure they have seen it! Everyone we have dealt with has been wonderful, and we can't wait to have our dream home after a few early hiccups. And what is the thing I'm looking forward to the most? More than one bathroom and toilet! Henley - Wilshire Mk 3 ... I love my house!!

Are the shaded bits render and the rest brick? Or vice versa? Have you posted your colours somewhere?

Colours are in this thread somewhere! LOL Paula...yes, and the 40 squares of space! But if your saw the size of my 1 bathroom and 1 toilet, you would understand how much I'm looking forward to 3 toilets and 2 bathrooms!
