We are at nearly finished... Just landscaping and driveway to go! Re: EBH - First Home Lawson 24 3Oct 27, 2012 9:08 pm So, after a lot of deliberation and thought these are the colours that I have choosen for my new house. Outside the house: Bricks - PGH Mild Steel Roof - Monier Horizon in MochaChoc Gutter/facia/down pipes/meter box/water tank - Jasper Porch posts/front door/garage door - Dune Windows - Surfmist Driveway - PGH Peppercorn Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Inside the house: Paint - Taubman's Malamute for the walls Taubman's Crisp White for doors, skirting, architraves etc Tiles - Latte Smooth from DiLorenzo (don't know brand) Kitchen Bench - Essa Stone New Sable Lux Kitchen Cupboards - Laminex Fossil Crystal Gloss and Fossil Strike Bathroom Tops - Essa Stone New Chinchilla Kitchen and Laundry cupboards - Laminex Fossil (Matte) Laundry Benchtop - Laminex Terrasphere Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Bathroom Tiles - Uncertain. I chose some but have been told by others building that they are now unavailable so we will have to wait and see if I will need to rechoose. Curtains - White Shutters throughout the house. Including a bifold shutter on the sliding door. Carpet - Godfrey Hirst Twist in Missions Brown (I know - it's a terrible name: it looks NOTHING like Mission Brown, it is actually a very nice and versitile colour) I think that is everything. If you can think of anything that I have forgotten and you want to know, let me know. Dearheart Re: Eden Brae - My First Home The Lawson 24 4Dec 16, 2012 6:54 pm Finally something has happened and I have something to update!! They cut my block last week and have done the form work and the site is ready for conecrete. If the weather cooperates tomorrow I should have concrete early this week - giving it plenty of time to cure over Christmas.

Re: Eden Brae - My First Home The Lawson 24 12Dec 17, 2012 11:23 pm I did get slabbed. I haven't seen it but my Mum drives past the block on her way to work and she told me that they were pouring concrete this morning. I assume that they are done. I will be checking it out later in the week when I can get there. Re: Eden Brae - My First Home The Lawson 24 13Dec 18, 2012 7:33 am Con.slab.u.lations! When did you receive the invoice?

Re: Eden Brae - My First Home The Lawson 24 14Dec 18, 2012 9:11 pm The invoice arrived today. An easy way to spend a little over $50 000. Re: Eden Brae - My First Home The Lawson 24 16Dec 20, 2012 5:41 pm So, I have some pictures of the slab. They are not the best beacuse the sun is in the wrong place when I am able to get to the site after work but they are the best that I have at the moment. I will try to get some more soon.
