Haha! I knew what you meant!
Ok, will go have a look - fingers crossed for beautiful weather for you so things can get moving!

The sink I originally chose was the Gem vanity - it was an upgrade, but I totally had my heart set on it after seeing it in the gallery. Turns…

Looks beautiful so far! It's so nice to follow the other Simonds builds on here. Your choices look lovely too

Thank you! I'm hoping once I start adding all my furniture and things that it comes together nicely. I'll do my best to make sure I keep updating

Thanks Matalee - I'm going to go have a peek at your thread now...

Ooh, ok thanks. I'll wait to hear back from the SS - hopefully you are right and things won't get held up too much then.
And thanks on the red…

More progress! Being Saturday we figured there might be some tradies out so we could get in and have a look. Yep, the tilers were there when we arrived about…

Hi fooSA,
Simonds have been brilliant. If you have read earlier in my thread, you will see how they were really proactive in helping me find a solution when my finance…

Our poor neighbours - look at their block!
And it was LOCKED UP! With priming done, skirtings and door/window frames on, and a big pile of…

So two days after catching the insulation tradies, I asked my brother to come and check a few things out, since he is a sparky and wanted to see how…

Argghhh!! I really hope they sort that too, that would drive me insane
I hope the rain subsides by the time we start our build.
It's so exciting looking at…

Then when the rain stopped for a few days this happened - in about 4 hours according to my neighbours, who counted 7 tradies putting our roof on!
And then the…

Then the rain started again, so very little happened the following week. They did manage to start on the gutters and fascia, and get ready for the roof

Some of…

YAY!!! It will be great to have something happening soon! It must feel like you've waited forever!

So the frame went up pretty quick after the slab, and then it rained. And rained. And everything has just been covered in mud. There is mud caked in all…

Sorry for not getting on here to update more frequently! Things have been cruising along nicely for the most part - I am just incredibly time poor! We are now…

Hi fooSA,
Thanks Marshall5858 is right about the costs to do the raised ceiling and sliding door upgrade. I did all of the things listed above,…

Will do
What's happening with yours at the moment?

It sure is exciting and real - it just better be real good when they're done!

So last week my CRC said that the slab was due to be poured Thursday (today), pending weather. Given the rain we have had in Adelaide, I figured this would…

Wednesday morning visit...

Hi Sammy74 - looking forward to following your progress too!

Then drove out this afternoon not expecting to see much more than the rest of the gravel/dirt spread out, and saw this:

Getting slabbed next week apparently - WOO-FREAKING-HOO! …

Waiting...waiting...waiting...
Things have been delayed again - we were all ready to start on the 6th May, but when they went to start prepping the site, they noticed that for some…

Sorry - my apologies! All fixed up now. TIA!

Meeting with SS and CRC tomorrow morning!!! FINALLY!

Wow, your home is looking beautiful! You must be super excited to be nearly at the end now!
I'm building a Palisade, and have loved coming on here to read other…
