Sorry about the dramas! Honestly all that stuff should not take long at all to fix up. Maybe you need to open up a can of whoopass... I just worked out the sqm of concrete/paving we need around the pool. $11k's worth of paving and $3k for the shed slab...hmm I wonder if that could be a DIY job Building Monte Carlo 40- Wisdom homes Building Monte Carlo 40- Wisdom homes Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 6525Jun 27, 2017 8:13 pm msjovi Dining/leisure/alfresco The glass windows look out over the pool Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Master ensuite Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Main bathroom Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Guest ensuite Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Kitchen/main floor tiling Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Building Ambassador 41 - Wisdom Homes So close to the finished line Msjovi, it will all be worth it once done.

I know of concreters/tiles that are cheaper but doubtful that I can integrate their labour with NP. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 6527Jun 27, 2017 8:33 pm msjovi Hi guys, it's been forever since I posted a progress post which can only mean one thing when it comes to our build - dramas! Firstly, congratulations to all those who have progressed really nicely into construction, end panel and appointment stages! Love seeing all your pics and selections! I honestly cannot believe our build isn't finished yet... 10 months and counting! We're nearly there.. but it feels like we take 2 steps forward and 3 steps back. AC outlets needed to be moved that weren't positioned as per plan as they'd interfere with future down lights, powder room has been tiled 3/4 of the way only to find out they are now having difficultly sourcing more, stairs stained in only 1 coat of Black Japan which made it a dark oak colour (not black as per display which was what was requested) so painter now has to come back but glass balustrade has been installed which needs to be removed. And our balcony render colour still hasn't been fixed. We're so close to the finish line, but it still feels so far! I don't have many updated pics, but I'll send through what I have. Building Ambassador 41 - Wisdom Homes Nearly there msjovi. Will be all worth it soon, your pics look great. The final touches will just make it that much better. Hope for a final smooth ride. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 6529Jun 28, 2017 10:41 am aaron2008 @msjovi glass window to alfresco looks really cool Thanks! The glass window looks out to the pool, which is currently boarded up. It looks like a big window in the pic, but they are actually 2 stacking doors that open up to the alfresco - we removed the corner pillar Building Ambassador 41 - Wisdom Homes Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 6530Jun 28, 2017 11:42 am Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ We've finally received some positive news from Council regarding our plans!
