I am hoping to visit tonight once it cools down and see some of it put together. I hope the heat does not impact too much on work achieved. When we walked in and saw all the cabinetry my husbands comment was 'now I know where all the money went', ha ha.
I am pretty sure for a variety of reasons that we have Supreme to thank for work onsite. I know that Supreme had all the cabinetry in their warehouse as they were expecting a pre xmas install. I think a conversation was had along the lines of we want it out of our warehouse (where it would have been taking up a lot of room) before xmas so SS hand was forced. Either way it is a good outcome for me! My bed Re: FH's Custom Build in SA- Week 20 666Dec 18, 2013 4:10 pm Wow love it all. You must be so happy with it all.

Can't wait to see the kitchen, hopefully tomorrow. They did well to get so much done in the heat! Re: FH's Custom Build in SA- Week 20 670Dec 19, 2013 2:43 pm Yay I am so excited for you to see this! It is actually coming along now and it looks great. What finish is your cabinetry? Looks lovely and glossy and shiny! Building the Leabrook with Fairmont Homes in Mallala, SA.

The finish in the bathrooms is 2pac polar white gloss but the finish in the laundry and wip which I think is just as good is the laminex silk polar white The only reason we had 2 pac was so we could have push to open doors/drawers, so no handles. The 2pac was a hefty upgrade...
Re: FH's Custom Build in SA- Week 20 672Dec 19, 2013 3:16 pm So worth it, it looks great. We have chosen the poly gloss which is so similar to 2 pac so I thought it was something similar. I think it is definitely worth the extra cost. When Mick tried to be stingy and tell me to be happy with silk finish I put my foot down on that one lol.

It's all coming together very nicely. Our kitchen cabinets are 2pac polar white also. We do think alike! Love the pull out ironing board too. Re: FH's Custom Build in SA- Week 20 679Dec 21, 2013 10:45 am Thanks everyone. Pannacotta that is why you are my building twin AKB that is my fave too! I think the main bathroom will look better once the other door is on. I think the kitchen needs appliances, that will help break up the white, as well as the bamboo flooring. The cheeky builders sent us a progress payment for work they have not finished. The upside is that it came with a letter stating that the house will be ready in 10 weeks. Mind you as the saying goes I won't count my chickens before they hatch Oh and I am eyeing off these bar stools.

We might end up being in the same week. Stools look nice. I'd get the gutters to match your roof and pipes to match the paint - otherwise they become a feature. Nice pick with the paint colours! 1 34273 6 55354 So it looks like we finally have some movement on site! Definitely later than expected, but I'll take any progress at this point.
