Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Commodore Homes, Whiteman Edge: ~84% the bits n bobs 541Feb 17, 2013 12:04 pm Love the bathroom tiles! makes me wish i went with darker tiles- turns out all my tiles are an off white (i have basically forgotten everything about selections) :S which is something i would never choose :S must have been asleep surig my colour meeting Re: Commodore Homes, Whiteman Edge: ~84% the bits n bobs 542Feb 17, 2013 7:03 pm Thanks MelQ yeah it's one thing sitting in the prestart meeting or going to tile shop and picking them out and imagining it in your head how it's going to look and then actually seeing it. Yeah we totally forgot what are selections were or how we wanted out feature tile. House was locked up totally today couldn't get in. However they hadn't done the feature in the bathroom, however I am holding back at the moment as I have noticed they haven't done the kitchen tiles yet either. Also noticed there is heaps of water meters stolen towards the partridge street end! Not sure if they still haven't been replaced or a fresh batch stolen... Looks like neighbours house that backs on to ours were in the process of moving in this weekend. Re: Commodore Homes, Whiteman Edge: ~86% Toliets/Gas/Fences/ 543Feb 22, 2013 5:43 pm Went out and had a look today while the sparkies were finishing off their bit. Couldn't take a picture of the kitchen because the sparkie was working in there, yet the stove/rangehood has been installed so pretty much finished.
So this week saw the toliets installed, the shower heads installed, Tiling finished, Gas water system installed. Bit disappointed with the ensuite power points we picked, slimline powerpoints the one we saw at our prestart meeting was black we assumed we were getting the same we were shown rather than your standard white!

Drain Pipes installed and also the Fencing contractor has installed fences. So all that is left is is shower screens, Intelligent homes install, Garage Door, and the Pavement laid and also most importantly my damn Solar Panels lol! But almost there. Re: Commodore Homes, Whiteman Edge: ~86% Toliets/Gas/Fences/ 547Feb 24, 2013 9:16 am Thanks everyone. Melq we still got to get the wooden floors to installed once we get handover and that's booked for the 28th of march then after they're done the carpets installed so prob won't be until mid April that we will be in. But it will give me time to paint the house and do the bits and pieces etc Re: Commodore Homes, Whiteman Edge: ~86% Toliets/Gas/Fences/ 548Feb 24, 2013 10:05 am Are you going to paint before floors go down? We did and it was really nice not having to worry about the floor hehe. This time we hoping to save for a painter as its going to be too hard to paint ourselves with DH work and now 2 kids. Look forward to kitchen photos. I love a good kitchen perve hahaha Re: Commodore Homes, Whiteman Edge: ~86% Toliets/Gas/Fences/ 549Feb 24, 2013 10:33 am Yep that's the plan LeanneR get as much painted as possible without having to worry about the floor or blinds We're going to look at the house dismorning, the impression I am getting though is it's going to be locked and we won't be able to get in but I guess we will wait and see if we can get in I'll get pictures. Re: Commodore Homes, Whiteman Edge: ~86% Toliets/Gas/Fences/ 550Feb 24, 2013 10:39 am I took kitchen photos through my theatre window and then through alfresco door haha Well until DH got home to let me in haha Re: Commodore Homes, Whiteman Edge: ~86% Toliets/Gas/Fences/ 551Feb 24, 2013 10:50 am Was told by other half yday that a work mate of his building in Baldivis was told by his ss if he wanted a copy of the key to get into the house he should have asked. Which I think is quite interesting. I may mention it to the new ss when we have our tile meeting in couple weeks time n see what his response will be when I ask. Re: Commodore Homes, Whiteman Edge: ~86% Toliets/Gas/Fences/ 552Feb 24, 2013 11:00 am I wonder which builder that was. Would be nice to have access when you wanted. Specially considering we are paying for it haha Re: Commodore Homes, Whiteman Edge: ~86% Toliets/Gas/Fences/ 554Feb 24, 2013 1:15 pm Nope, don't think he has finished up yet, was told at the end of month, so I'd say the new ss will prob start aft the long weekend. Hopefully he gets good handover. We are going into lockup either Tue/wed, got ABC going out tomorrow to do the measurements for timber shutters and tue for the roller blinds as apparently shutters are a specialised dept that do them and take upto six weeks to make! Re: Commodore Homes, Whiteman Edge: ~86% Toliets/Gas/Fences/ 555Feb 24, 2013 1:19 pm The reason why they ABC blinds come back is because they can get a more accurate measurement from the windows than off the drawing, have you arranged time for your guys to come out to take measurements? They take approx three weeks for normal roller blinds Re: Commodore Homes, Whiteman Edge: ~86% Toliets/Gas/Fences/ 556Feb 24, 2013 2:53 pm Oh yeah forgot bout hi lite window. We got told we weren't allowed one in this house. Silly lazy sales rep haha. I do have one in theatre in new house though thank goodness Re: Commodore Homes, Whiteman Edge: ~86% Toliets/Gas/Fences/ 557Feb 24, 2013 3:20 pm Went to the house dismorning and was fuming! Couldn't get in so scouted around for an open window to no avail. Peaked in through the Study window to find this Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ When I went to the house on Friday I met the Sparkey team that consisted of what looked like 1 tradie and 4 children apprentices no older than 19 and the youngest about 15/16. Probably explains why all my power points were installed at the wrong heights a while back now and now one of them has put a foot through the roof!!! It becomes quite stressful when silly delays like this happen and your trying to schedule your flooring and things like this could delay hand over! Re: Commodore Homes, Whiteman Edge: ~86% Toliets/Gas/Fences/ 558Feb 24, 2013 3:35 pm Oh that would make me angry. Useless electricians you got. 4 apprentices. Bit much Re: Commodore Homes, Whiteman Edge: ~86% Toliets/Gas/Fences/ 559Feb 24, 2013 6:58 pm Sigh, had our Air-con installer achieve a similar if not worse result. Not even 4 days since we moved in. Guess they still have time to fix it and repaint the entire ceiling so the colour matches A forum for Whiteman Edge and Avonlee Residents - http://www.thewhitemanedgecommunity.com Thank you again Simeon..
