Well getting close to handover. Have got our walk through date of the 2nd April, which is next Thursday. So starting to get excited

Hi Wonderland, my brother and myself are going to lay them, the benefits of having a couple of builders in the family.

Hi wonderland, No not going through CH, am doing it myself, got the timber from Melbourne Timber floors in Kensington, really good show room, with large displays (approx 1m x…

Hi Jo,
We are getting Blackbutt timber flooring put through most of the house with the exception of the bedrooms, study and rumpus room which will be carpet.

Thanks for all the nice comments.
Sarahq, we went the same colours as in the kitchen, Oyster Linea and Licorice Linea, I think these 2 colours go really well together.

Hi everyone, have put up some updated photos, everything seems to be coming along nicely, looks like our walk through will be around the end of this month.

I believe that is correct, but I'm pretty sure you need different jets which have a bigger hole to allow for the lower pressure.

If that is for a colour model, I don't think that is expensive, I think that is very cheap, maybe I was looking at high end, but they were around…

Yes we went for the Stirling as well, agree it is the most traditional and also don't think it will date (and plus my wife thought most of the others…

Hi Salt&Pepper, not yet, I have been told I should be getting the walk through date this week, I have made a time with the SS to have a look…

Just discovered my Site Supervisor is also no longer there. So I have lost both my Client Liaison officer and Site Supervisor in a week.

Thanks Sam, it was approx $2000 and a $200 Manganese levy

Your most likely right, one thing I will say is that our colour consultant was great.

Hi Wonderland,
Yes we were charged, it cost $364 to change from the standard to a 514mm x 3230mm awning window, and $456 to add another one to the side wall.
Cheers

Well they needed to do something, when I was there for my colour selection in Aug/Sept, it was a fairly ordinary experience.

Hi Sarahq,
The colour of the home theater room is Toffee Fingers.
Cheers
Mal

No one may of lost their jobs...... but I discovered my Client Liaison officer no longer is there after the move, only just found out after I rang to talk…

Hi Sarahq,
The bricks are Hawthorn by Austral, and the roof tiles are Barramundi, the colour of the home theatre room I will have to check as the colour changed from…

Hi Thorney, The colour is called Beige Royal 1/4 Strength. Am very happy with the colours, it is all so daunting when you are choosing them though.

Hi Hels,
Yes it has gone fairly smoothly, of course there was a couple of issues along the way, but nothing too big, what a difference it makes to have a…

Hi Hels_n_Greg, those photos were taken a few weeks ago, so its almost complete, tiling has been finished, noticed most of the electrical fit out has been done over the…

Hi all,
I have been following this site for many months now, and I thought it was time I started my own thread with the progress of our Monaco 36 with…

I really think the bi-folds is one of the main things that makes this house great, once I've finished loading my pics to photobucket , I will start a thread…

Manafull, were you dealing with the Sunshine office?
Which by the way happened to close today and move to their new office in Mulgrave, which I'm sure is just their…

That is exactly why we swapped the fridge, so it was closer to the cooking area, but you will be able to leave the fridge in the original space and…

Hi doghouse, the problem was that the island bench in their display homes aren't standard, and we just went with the standard island with caeser stone, we liked the standard…

Hi Dale, I was the one that increased the size of the pantry, our kitchen has now gone in, and it looks fantastic, Im really glad we went with the…

I have just rolled out 600m of Cat6 in my house, and from memory I think it was about 42c a metre.

Hi popcorn-chicken,
Things have only really started back up again after xmas, I noticed they had their inspector do the pre-paint inspection 4 days ago. They have also been fixing some…

No problems Dale.
We are through the Sunshine office as well. The pantry change was $573. I wouldn't hold my breath that yours is the same. The estimators just seem to…
