Floor boards

I like this color floor boards.



Any Comments?

Tiles

We have been thinking about the Tiles for the Kitchen and the bathroom a bit lately and i saw these images on a swimming pool web site and thought the feature tiles would look good in the house. what do you guys think?

Also not sure what color tiles to put with them in the bathroom?

It's the 23rd

Well its the morning on the 23rd. I wonder if we will get the call today? I hope so as i would like to get a contract signed and the build in motion.

Ash is still madly reading every home deco web site and book she can trying to select colors that will make our house look trick.


The grass on the block is starting to look bad! Does anybody know if i need to mow/slash this or will the developer keep looking after it for a bit longer?

Call from Metricon

Received a call from M yesterday to say that our Title has come out for the block and that our quote is going to the drafts and engineering team today to be drawn up :)


Also M said that we may get a call with a Studio M appointment on the 23rd of December. Fingers Crossed.

If we don't she said it will be first week in Jan.

Gum trees @ work

So i was sitting outside at work for lunch just now and the gum tree i was under with no warning did this.

View of the top of the tree.



I think the gums at the block will defiantly be having 2 separate little accidents.

Call from Metricon

I received a call from Metracon and hoped that it was for an appointment at Studio M. No such luck it was just to inform us that our CSC will be Rebecca and that our soil sample results were in and we had achieved a M-D wowhoo no extra money required :)

Boral Display centre

We visited the Boral Brick display centre on the weekend. The lady was very informative and gave us the addresses of a few house using our selected brick to go have a look at. We also noticed on a house in there photo book that the off white mortar looked "Pink" in stead of "Off white". She explained that the wrong sand would have been used. She said that normal brickie sand is brown to orange in color and the sand required to make the off withe mortar look nice and white, should be the color of a child's sandpit not white but a yellow to blond type color.

I will defiantly be checking the sand when it gets dropped of to make sure its not brown or orange!

Land

Well the land deposit was payed last week and the SOLD sticker went up!!!!


Studio M sent us a package with some standard selection material. No call for an appointment time yet. The package gave addresses for all the brick and tile manufactures show rooms and suggested that we visit those prior to visiting Studio M.

This Saturday we are going to visit Boral and Austral and Beaumont Tiles.

Looking through the standard selection sheets there seems to be no choice in the internal doors and the standard ones are just a plain flat door. Yuck! Guess we may have to upgrade :( but at least we only have 5 internal doors.
