-Variations, electrical and the start of colours

We went down to sign all our paperwork with Henley, put on the next deposit so that when construction on our land finshes we can get the soil tests straight away. We also went through all the variations that we would like to add. These are all dependant on our site costs.

- Add the extended garage with roller door access to the backyard.
- Add the theatre room extension so that it is as long as bedroom 4.
- Add the grand alfresco so that it is still concreted with the theatre extension so that we don't have to deck it asap.
- Add double doors to the study.
- Extend the laundry cupboards from 2 to 3.
- Add drawers to the vanities in the ensuite and bedroom.
- Add render to the pillars at the front (we are having the standard Broadway facade).
- Add carpet and timber laminate.
- Add flysreens to windows.


We also did our electircal there and then as I had spent so much time pouring over it that I knew exactly what we wanted. We have added quite a few down lights and also we will be putting fans in all of the bedrooms and the alfresco. V emailed me the price that night and I was very pleased as it came in under budget.


From Point Cook we decided to go and have a look at Cosham as we were part way there. Wow is all I can say! So many things to look at. We sort of drifted around to start with, not sure where to start until we had D (I think) come over and give us a hand. She threw together our external colours and kitchen within minutes and it was exactly what we liked. I hope we get here when we have our colour appointment. We haven't locked anything in as of yet, this was more a visit to get a feel of the place and see what they had to offer. I must say though, I was impressed with their catergory one. I was having nightmares about upgrading everything and blowing the budget, so I was pleasantly suprised. Here a just a few pics of what we have in mind.
