Fark pixy.. I mean holy sh*t..

I remember looking at your plans ages ago. That water is not good. If this is on the lower levels and the waterproofing is gone behind your retaining.. well sh*t..

Damn man. Not slagging all builders but that 'your fault not mine' is something ive heard way too many times. Just recently did a walk through of a mates house after they finished framing it all up and two of the roof trusses had massive fractures in them. Builder agreed they needed to be replaced but said they couldnt enact the 16 week penalty if he didnt complete if they made him get them replaced. I <3 Bananas me man.. they could fracture at any point.

Pixy ive got no advice you probably havent heard. Just take it one step at a time mate. You deserve that house to be brilliant.

Thanks mate I've now passed it over to the lawyers I wont have anything to do with them anymore and they are not welcome here every again.

All work can be done by someone else and they can pay for it. Over them

 

Spoke with my next door neighbour yesterday who is in the construction game and he said he spoke to the builder when the garage slab was getting done and told him its wrong because they did but a step in the slab and did not water proof behind the dincel wall............LOL love it. Bye Bye Builder

Congrats biatch face

So I selected our builder and had a design meeting this morning

Almost reached final design, minimal changes

(Kitchen sink is only a recessed single as we have the larger one in the butlers pantry etc)

Pretty happy with what we've designed keeping in mind budget and so forth,

2x 300m2 houses the larger one being ours and the smaller for my parents.

Huge back yard for the boys (we won't fence) and a huge multi use alfresco

I'm pretty happy with our concept considering 90% is custom designed by us and we had criteria and budget to conform with.

We're also having full stone bench tops, huge pivot front door and a bunch of other options in the kitchen Etc

Super excited, hopefully it all happens and council do what they say and approve it

Ps. Mostly happy coz I will get to live within 6kms from the cbd again and beach weeeeeeeeee

I like it, looks very functional.

 

How big are the rooms upstairs (2 and 4) in the bigger house?

 

Also please put double vanities in the master suite, azz will thank me later...lol

 

Weather has set us back a bit but not really fussed as its not hot enough to swim now.

 

Tiler came in yesterday and did the coping and waterline tiles, just needs to finish the feature wall.

 

 

Then plumbing, almost there....

Red nose
I'm toying with a double or a single off to the side and more bench space

The bedrooms are 3x4.2 and 3x4.5 for the boys and the back bedroom is a guest room.

Since the bathroom is open plan it's gonna be whatever is astetically pleasing to a certain point too.

Nice, that was the deciding factor for us.

 

Al the homes we saw had massive master suites but smallish bedrooms.

 

Our house has a 6 x 4 master (plus walk-in and ensuite) and the other 3 rooms are 5 x 3.

 

Plenty of room for the kids beds, tallboys and desks with left over room for it not to feel cramped.

Yeah for sure

The wall that separates the robe and bedroom is only a 2m high wall so it's more of a room divider than a wall the ensuite is open plan with a 1.7x1 shower with 2 shower heads and a bench seat
We have 2.7 ceilings throughout both upper and lower too

How wide is the wall?, just be mindful if you have a king size you don't want the bedsides hanging out.
