Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building with burbank - Fairfax 2700 83Aug 21, 2012 5:32 pm Well all was reasonably well quite a few touchups to be done and as well as refit the correct shelving to the study - take the wrong stuff out repaint and put the correct stuff in we thought this might have been done considering PCI WAS UPCOMING but not so. Also ceilings joints throughout main living areas were half sanded, third time lucky!! Otherwise all was ok we are booked in for reinspection and settlement in 2 weeks meanwhile some pics we took are following kitchen [imghttp://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/hh527/GREMLIN0173/2012-08-11163800.jpg][/img] ensuite Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ study (with wrong shelving) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ study with correct shelving - in display Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ ensuite vanity - first basin "disappeared"second came damaged now this one was scavenged from another house -lol Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Building with burbank - Fairfax 2700 85Aug 21, 2012 5:47 pm Looks great!

Get some spare wall tiles...so you can stick them to cover the two sides ( I did them after handover).. All the best for your handover --- they built it pretty fast Orchid 4200 with Burbank: Thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=53034 House Built in 7 Months and 2 weeks Re: Building with burbank - Fairfax 2700 91Aug 22, 2012 5:53 pm thanks all for your lovely comments our kitchen bench was well worth the extra $$ and weve got about 7m2 of extra floor wall tiles so ss asked if we wanted them left or he would toss them , we said we will keep them never know what the future will bring and getting another batch could be slightly different shade so plety of spares. once again thankyou all for your comments Re: Building with burbank - Fairfax 2700 92Aug 27, 2012 2:45 pm Wow you guys - love the red splashback and your kitchen looks great! Not long now - so glad thye have been mighty fast with your build... not long now!! Re: Building with burbank - Fairfax 2700 93Sep 01, 2012 8:10 pm thanks dan, we are wrapped with the splashback with a few other red accessories it will tie in quite nicely. Dropped in to see the house last night after work to find it totally open - front door wide open with noone onsite........very dissappointing effort by the contractor guessing it was the painter redoing the ceilings as it smelled of fresh paint needless to say we locked up dont fancy any delays at this stage of the game. Re: Building with burbank - Fairfax 2700 94Sep 01, 2012 10:00 pm Lordy well done to the painter! lucky you guys were checking progress you dont need any unwanted visitors ie theives or vandals at this stage!! How silly of them - oh well all locked up now Your whole house looks great, like a display home great colours really blend so well together.. Red accessories will be great, cushions, vases mmmm lovely just tie it all back in together - love it Hope youre having a great weekend and not long for keys for you guys!! Re: Building with burbank - Fairfax 2700 95Sep 02, 2012 9:53 am no not long now 2 sleeps to go its beginning to feel like xmas we do handover on Tuesday cant wait to get in and live in the house its very frustrating seeing it sit there idle. Re: Building with burbank - Fairfax 2700 96Sep 03, 2012 9:09 am Its good you went to check on a Friday night otherwise the house would have been opened all weekend. Not long to go now! Re: Building with burbank - Fairfax 2700 97Sep 29, 2012 10:51 am Oh so what's going on here Gremlin?? Any move in pics??? Congrats on handover how very exciting!! Sorry been away for work, just stalking everyone now for progress... Re: Building with burbank - Fairfax 2700 98Oct 14, 2012 11:17 am Hi all, We are fully relocated now and settled in quite nicely. We had a few issues day after handover with hot water service fault which they had to come out and after 4 hrs was resolved poor guy was there till 9pm Then we found our front door wasnt latching fully it was very windy and was blowing open of its own accord...ghostly !!! Got really busy doing the front garden last a few weeks ago. Other wise its been very nice to have a home once again Needless to say internet is not available as yet - using my wifes pc at her work to get this on. I hope all followers are well and here are some moved in pics for your viewing http://s1250.beta.photobucket.com/user/ ... sort=3&o=4 http://s1250.beta.photobucket.com/user/ ... sort=3&o=3 http://s1250.beta.photobucket.com/user/ ... sort=3&o=2 http://s1250.beta.photobucket.com/user/ ... sort=3&o=1 http://s1250.beta.photobucket.com/user/ ... sort=3&o=6 http://s1250.beta.photobucket.com/user/ ... sort=3&o=5 Re: Building with burbank - Fairfax 2700 99Oct 24, 2012 1:47 pm Just had a spare few seconds to catch up Gremlin, your house is looking amazing!
