Hi Poppet, we just went for standard carpet from Carpet Court. It is charcoal, nothing fancy but figure it's something that's easy enough to change later if we decide we…

We had our final walk through today :)
The carpet was going down while we were there and the ducted air conditioning. Paint touch ups and…

Braddy - our tiles are from Tile Direct, I can't remember the name. They're matte charcoal grey. They were an upgrade but nothing crazy expensive.
Natlyn - that is our…

Hi Kelly - the splashback is actually big porcelain tiles not glass, but looks super similar (can hardly tell the difference in real life either). They quoted us $2,500 for…

Hi guys, we're locked out!! Finally - but sad that we can't get in to see what's going on anymore. Garage door and front door is on, we can also…

KellyNLori_BuildinOz - I used Brampton bricks - I have pictures of our house posted back on page 608 :)
We are really happy with them.

Oh Rebuild!! Those shower tiles - AMAZING!!! Wish I saw them before we did our choices!! Hubby would definitely be glad I didn't, but gosh they are beautiful.

Hi Braddy
That was my exact reaction! I nearly died when they said that haha, but apparently a small screw at the top or something wouldn't be a drama... I will…

Hi Verdelho5T
Yes, we were told that they would screw our sliding doors closed prior to handover (but never mentioned anything about not giving keys).
We will be getting stairs from…

They're Whitsunday Brampton - originally had Urban One Latte, had to change just two weeks ago because of a bad batch but so happy we did!! Love the new bricks…

They're the pergola thing we had to have for our estate guidelines as "corner treatment"... Personally think they're a stupid waste of money haha but had to have them!

Hi smallz2007...
our bricks will be finished on Friday... Still looks so far away - but 12 weeks not that far I suppose!
Not seeing the photo part on my phone…

Just spoke to our SS and asked for a "rough" idea of when we should expect the house to be finished - he confirmed what we had been hoping for…

The $1,000 fee doesn't come into play until after you have signed your contract :)
You are able to change plans right up until you come out…

Thanks rebuild - running ahead of time is always nice!
I am hoping we can work off the 12 week from bricks kind of time frame - BUT our contract…

Jaykay - they're looking really good. Glad that you guys have some options if you're not happy with the final results. So clever that they can do that... Have never…

Our bricks were delivered yesterday. Holding a new one against an old one they're EXTREMELY similar which we are happy about... Actually like the new ones more I think!

Yes I like them as well! Keep us posted on what Austral says when they have a look! Good luck, hopefully he has a good solution for you.

I really like them :) hopefully ours turn out something similar! Thanks for the pic! Enjoy your holiday

That's interesting untwisted twist! Very different... Do you have much variation throughout your batch or are they all a pretty uniform colour?
Do you have a picture complete?

8 years8 yearsel-verdelhoel-verdelho posted:

Wow that's a really big colour difference isn't it!!! What's going on with them?
I'll be interested to hear how you go and definitely head out to check out our…

What is Austral doing with their current batches!
Are you unhappy with how your bricks look? Is it something you'll…

Would be interested in seeing a picture if you have one - ours aren't due to start until next Wednesday - weather permitting...
