Metricon or Clarendon....Can't decide??

Welcome to both forum and fellow Clarendon builder in QLD.
Did you make many structural variations to the floorplan?

Stellabella's second build - work stopped...again - 1 month+

Awww, she looks precious. Great that she is putting on the weight. Congratulations!
Are you both thinking of selling it once it is finished?

Yay! Happy moving in, and getting everything organised. It'll be a busy time ahead, but so worth it. Will look forward to seeing 'completed home' pictures when it occurs.

Thanks Rhetti. We got the kitchen colour inspiration from a Metricon display home we had walked through.

Haha yeah, we upgraded to the Fujitsu. And fair enough. We intend on being in this house for at least 10 years, so made sense for us. :-D

We've been informed our handover date will be 13 August.
Not sure when we'll have our PCI walkthrough before that date yet.

Nice! Your frontage must be nice and wide. On acreage?
I guess that is what a long time between land purchase and house design gives you, so much well-thought out…

There are still boxes of tiles, but haven't checked closely to see if they are simply the unlaid ones or leftovers as well.
