If possible posting a photo would be wonderful I've selected the Forest Red but having doubts and would love to see what others have chosen I got mine through accent. We went with the Topdeck Strand Woven Bamboo flooring in Coffee colour Pics on my blog - http://ps-sirocco7.blogspot.com.au/2013 ... -done.html We went for wide board Grey Ironbark top nailed cause I like the rustic look As soon as they are laid I will post a photo Our stairs are also grey ironbark but havent been varnished yet viewtopic.php?f=31&t=46741 Clovelly - Masterton Homes 5% to M 290312 CDC 21/06 20 days 29/08 Slab 17/09 Frame 26/09 Bricks 24/10 Roof tiles 20/11 Re: Masterton Homes - The new thread 3.0 1896Mar 13, 2013 8:35 pm HouseofRock Very exciting to see all of your progress - especially dsa39 since we are building the same house. We have had more action on our property with plumbing and sewarage activity going on. We had to go out there today to talk through how they were going to connect our sewerage and while we were there, I took the opportunity to ask them to put a tap next to our alfresco (so I can wash away any spilled wine!) I asked for this when our plans were being prepared but Masterton said they would charge a $1,500 plan amendment fee and send me to the back of the queue in drafting - I declined then. The fellow said it would be easy to do and is now moving one of the existing taps to where I want it - for free - so definitely worth having the discussion. Of course, our bill for the slab arrived within 24 hours - now just trying to get the bank to pay it - which seems to be a very painful process - based on others' experience on here, I think it is common to have some administrative challenges with the first progress payment. Spoke to Masterton and they seem OK with it. Whoo hooo its all happening HouseofRock cannot wait to see your progress...now about that tap should have thought viewtopic.php?f=31&t=46741 Clovelly - Masterton Homes 5% to M 290312 CDC 21/06 20 days 29/08 Slab 17/09 Frame 26/09 Bricks 24/10 Roof tiles 20/11 Re: Masterton Homes - The new thread 3.0 1897Mar 13, 2013 8:40 pm abiggerhouse Oh yeah they are super quick with all their billing!!!! That and their rain delay notices are the two things you can count on receiving on time when you are told to expect them Vatche your place is looking so stunning - you must be so excited seeing the rooms start to take shape! dsa39 wow you must be close now if they are doing the clean! Can't wait to see your final house once it is all done! Hi abbierhouse gosh you are really moving along arent you? We have lost track of what needs doing but we believe the big ticket items are obviously the front stairs, stone island benchtop, appliances, floorboards & carpet,skirting has gone back in the living room where the floors been done. Hubby drove past and said they were forming up the front stairs and it looked like a painful job no one wanted to do LOL We cant wait either. Few things we have picked up, the top right hand cupboard next to the range hood has a chip on the inside and some mortar missing from bricks and some pretty seriously chipped bricks I mean like a whole corner missing on the verandah and near the laudry door and a couple of other bits but all in all really happy must expect a few things to be fixed but def nothing majoe theyve done a great job viewtopic.php?f=31&t=46741 Clovelly - Masterton Homes 5% to M 290312 CDC 21/06 20 days 29/08 Slab 17/09 Frame 26/09 Bricks 24/10 Roof tiles 20/11 Re: Masterton Homes - The new thread 3.0 1898Mar 13, 2013 8:42 pm Ricaa - our frames are due tomorrow and our slab was poured last thursday - so for us, exactly one week is the plan.

You have to be on the ball with everything don't you, but as you say if it isn't anything major that's awesome!

You guys will really notice things happening now - the framing is fabulous to see go up because you can start to see the house you picked off plans come to life and figure out how much space there really is! Merlot Hilton with Traditional Facade Re: Masterton Homes - The new thread 3.0 1900Mar 14, 2013 7:42 am For all who are at the framing stage, it normally takes 2-3 working days for single story, 3-4 working days to double story house to go up. Yes, you can pretty much see how big (or small) your house will end up. But wait till brick goes up...
