After an almost two week delay because the bank didn't pay the GST on one of the earlier payments TODAY WE GOT THE KEYS!!!!!!!!!

this is our shower. It is just tiles over the concrete. Sorry the pic is not the best quality (and not finished)

Hi, it has been a while
We have our PCI on 16 September! That is just over 12 weeks since the slab went down, I can't believe how fast…

Thanks kiwi.
I think I will just order the flower bit and leave the words.
I hope they are not too hard to apply.

So I have been looking but have found nothing. Actually I did find an awesome red, silver and black painting but it was just a smidge to wide. …

I love your plan, it is fantastic and what a beautiful block.
We are at about the same stage and I would hate to be locked out now. Our builder…

Kiwi, you have a wonderful home. I admit I have only gone back a handful of pages though. I love your wall decals and stayed up way past…

Wow, looks fantastic.
I think on the inside we are up to about the same progress but our bricks have just started.
It feels so nice to walk through now and see…

we just upgraded our fly screen to security screens and the builder said they don't add anything to the supply cost of those things, they credited us with $750 for…

Hi,
We would have been too late to change the ensuite shower without it costing us a bomb so it stays as it is. Doesn't worry me that much…

A couple of things E are concerned about:
Should the shower and mixer be in line? (I am sure the Shower head should be in the middle)
The shower part is…

It has been a very long almost two weeks since I visited our house. I found lots of progress, all the rooms look like rooms now!
Any pic's you ask...
Why…

I am really feelimg the withdrawals at the moment. It has been more than a week since I have been to have a look at the house.
The SS called me…

Congrats on getting your start date.
We went looking for light fittings and other little things, the waiting time seemed to fly by.

Thanks and I do love the "hat" very stylish, fit for the races
Today I met the electrican and went through our plan, it was pretty…

Phew! That could have cost you a real bundle.

we went once a month to mow when it was just a block and now that conctruction has started we go once a week. I would go every day…

wow, looks great and looks like a great block.

I agree, two good size bedrooms and a smaller is the way I would go.

Hi,
If it was me I would go for the bigger bedrooms. Ny reasoning is that an extra 50cm in a bedroom is huge but I think you would hardly…

Hi and thanks for the replies, helps me think I am not just talking to myself.
Yep, roof was next! It is not quite finnished but I thought I would…

Hahaha, Doh! - thanks Kiwi. Son and I were discussing the reason they might be there and I said I didn't know he thought it was because the glue…

Sorry, I have been a bit slow with my updates. I have been to the site but kept forgetting my camera .
So over the last…

Your plan looks great. I am so used to seeing four bedrooms that I had a second look for it on yours lol.
I am very envious of your master suite,…

I love your colours. It feels like such a long wait to see the real thing but I will be patiently waiting for your pics.

Drove by on the weekend and all the timber for the frames were waiting there for the builders to begin tomorrow. YAY!

Love your thread, Lots of pics just how I like it.
Your build seems to be flying by, I hope ours does the same.

I have heard that it should be a gold coin at the front door. My son also put a $2 coin in "his room" and threw a couple in…

Does anybody know if there is a standard amount of days a builder would/should wait after doing the slab to start on the frames? (If that is the next step)

David, I hope so - fingers crossed for no hold ups.
I think the way the laundry is now must be just about exactly how you said way back in the…
