Update time

There have been a few changes to ring in the new year, we are now in a rental property closer to the build (about 20 mins drive rather than the previous 45min) on a 9 month lease so with any luck the build will be complete within a couple of weeks of the lease coming up.



We have also rented out our old house to friends from work so there has been a bit of juggling to make sure the mortgage for that is on interest only for tax purposes.


On the house build front we had our appointment for the colour consultation and contract sign off on Tuesday the 25th of Jan, which was the last possible day for sign off to fit in the 150 days since the deposit was paid. We had to chase Plantation a little to get this appointment but it went well in the end, the colour choices only took 3 and ¼ hours and the contracts were done in about the same.


Construction is scheduled to start late March pending council approval etc. We are thankfully able to keep our timber sliding doors with our bushfire rating and have been given a free up upgrade to hardwood for those.


Our colour choices were a little different from our original visit to Cosham but we are pretty happy with them.


We decided on the following


Exterior:

Roof: Shale Grey

Bricks: PGH Perisher

Fascia: Windspray

Window Frames: Metallic Charcoal

Architectural cladding: Provincial Grey

Door stain: Dulux Integrain Rich Chocolate



Interior:

Walls: Harbour Mist

Walls in the Home Theatre: Invincible

Roof in the Home Theatre: Black Fox

Benchtops: Quantum Quartz – Tornado

Cupboards: Deep Anthracite

Floor Tiles: Select Mid Grey

Carpet: Romance Wine (sounds red but it’s actually black)


Pics of the choices are in one of the posts below.
