Sorry for not posting photos. Someone decided to arrive earlier than expected.

I'll try to get around to tidying the house (no one told me baby paraphernalia would breed and…

WE ARE IN!!!!!
We got the keys last Monday, had the electrician around that afternoon to put in the lighting and ceiling fans, Decor Blinds came to install all our window…

ZoePerth Nope - flooring guy just rocked up and installed them.

We had our PCI on Monday and while I'd love to say everything went smoothly, it kinda didn't - nothing to do with DAH though. Himself and I met our…

I've just done a rough calculation and I estimate we spent about $80/sqm on the Karndean (including floor prep, although our slab was so smooth I don't think much prep…

Our Karndean got installed on Saturday!!! I love how it looks (pic was taken through glass so not the best image.)

We had all our flooring installed via our builder…

So our PCI is on Monday. We went to the block late this afternoon and the vinyl flooring was still going in - no sign of carpet and absolutely no…

Awesome news!!

nelleebellee It is hard! The next few weeks will be the longest of the entire build I think.

ms_prez It's Solver Floral White. And we used Floral White in 50% for the doors, door frames and skirting boards.

After a delay with the painting, it has now been 100% completed! All that's left to do is the flooring and small fixtures and fittings such as door handles, towel…

Is that all?! I'm totally looking into that! Thanks.
House going okay - lots of little things getting done but hopefully they have started…

This plan is amazing!! I always liked the Summit display homes (and wow do they have some fancy-pants kitchens!) I'm really looking forward to seeing this home being built. (And…

Can't wait to see a plan and photos! Good luck with the build process - it's so much fun yet so frustrating at the same time.

We're getting Karndean Opus Atra in our new place - can't wait to see it go down!!

It is just from dragging the chairs but the felt pads definitely help. We have a mid-colour vinyl and you can see where it's worn but it is very subtle…

In our current home we have the cheap Bunnings vinyl planks (which come with a sticky adhesive backing - basically they go down like a giant sticker!) They have held…

It all looks lovely! Has the excitement of living there worn off yet?

Thanks nelleebellee and jpmontoya
mrsdoe We've been thrilled with…

We were allowed to go inside our house today!!! Dales let us in to do our final measure and quote for the window treatments. While waiting for our salesperson to…

House update - it's looking FABULOUS but we are still locked out. (C'mon Dales, can't you forget to lock up JUST ONCE so we can sneak in and have a…

We financed everything in on the advice of our finance guy (we used Ian at Resolve Finance.) He advised including as much as possible - all pre-start items with provisional…

MrsMaccaPacca It was suggested by our pre-start lady as we have a curved glass rangehood going on and she thought it would look…

Thanks ms_prez.
I'm sure they will jpmontoya - they sorted out the problem with the incorrect…

Robina - all our living areas face north so we'll hopefully escape the worst of the summer sun there. Our east side has…

We have been for a visit to the block and were happy to see a lot of progress this week! Our electrical seems to have been completed - all lights,…

The vertisheers are pretty nifty Robina - we never really close our curtains in our current living areas so probably won't in the…

ms_prez Haha! Yes, definitely!! We have an estimated PCI of late October and keys should be 2 weeks later. Fingers crossed everything goes…

Haha! For our first plan (which failed bank valuation as it was "too small") we'd based our ensuite on Red Ink's Biscay.

I actually really like the quality of Summit and they have some nifty ideas but their plans just didn't suit our style (even though we changed our Dales plan entirely,…
