Its been a Roller Coaster ride but we're nearly there!

Whoa... It has been pretty busy one for the past few months since my last update in October. I would never have imagined that building a new home was the worst and best experience you'll ever have. Mixed Emotions to everything. Well.. after waiting and waiting..... We are closer to grab the keys and enjoy our first new home!

A couple of frustrations along the way.. First, Di-lorenzo... i wouldnt forget you as you stuffed up all our floor areas! you meant to install the tiles we've chosen and they've decided to put a different tiles! (Someone accidentally swapped our paperwork with somebody else). Everything was stopped because of the tiles.. Painting, plumbing, electrical.. the lot. Ive read some blogs as well about Di-lorenzo mixing paperworks. Hmmm.. why why this is happening.

- No Apology from the Company. The solution from Di-Lorenzo was...( We can easily remove everything in two days. My wife has decided to keep the tiles though and we just need to change the wall tiles completely to compliment with the floor tiles. I will then discuss this matter with Metricon.

So much things happening but i wouldnt want to get stressed out.. it supposed to be an exiciting journey.... well.. its time to put some photos up...



Front of the House...love the Garage.. dont worry about the rubbish.. this will be picked up soon.



Unstained Front Door.. Cant wait the finished product!



Home Theater Room...




Family Room with lots of Doors... Sliding door and Bi-Part Door




Stairs.. i didnt request to put Harry Potter's room but i bet soon this will be changed to a hideout of something... All about Wine!




Where is the tub? i will post the complete transformation soon..





Powder Room.. No cabinet, just a bench top and a shelf underneath.

A little bit of nature when you get up in the morning on the balcony? ahhh.. You gotta love that!

A bit of a held up coz of the continues rain but got the ground floor bricks finally finished.Scaffolding has been setup too for the First floor bricking...







Side of the house. You can now see the window of my Favourite Room... Home Theater Room!



Family Room with a sleek window design at the right top side! On the left side.... Its a Bi-Part doors which can be opened during Summer. It makes the room looks really big. How about lap pool on the side... hmmmm... at this stage.. its free to imagine anything you want for your dream home. Might take a while to be completed but in the end, we know its worth it.

Kitchen Connection!?!

This is where my wife spent a fortune. Ceasar island kitchen benchtop with the cooktop and rangehood. The window frame looks bigger too. I wouldnt mind to become a master chef one day!



Study/Extra lounge?
Not quite sure what to do with it yet. Thinking of putting an informal lounge with electric fireplace and some bean bags.. or my 9 months baby girl can concentrate with her study in the future...


Home Theater Room

Ahh.. this is where my hiding place be. PS3 with a 120" projector screen. I will make this room the best entertaiment we can get!!!. : )




Double Garage
