still in coucil, tiles now picked

House is still in council will hopefully come out this week or next week.
Have had another call about my retaining walls, have been told that a timber one will be better, that is ok cause it will be about a thousand dollars cheaper.

we choose our tiles today, we have a mondo beige through out our living areas and in the wet areas we have espresso (chocolate colour). our splash backs for kitchen and bathrooms are white. our tiles for our main area are 45cm square and our bathrooms are 30cm square and bathroom wall tiles and splash backs are 20cm by 30cm. nice rectangle tiles

i am not sure about our kitchen benches we were going to use diamond gloss but after what i have been told i think i am not going to.

We are using Ebony Marble for the bench tops and a slate grey for the cupboards.. Still not sure about this though!

Our Finishes appointments now on Friday so i will need to ensure i have it right by then..

Hopefully will only be in council for 4 weeks.

still not in council and they want more money!!!

Had a call on Monday from coral 30/8 and was advised that the plans have gone of to the private certifier. Got a letter from coral yesterday that advised that i need to pay $1200 to council for a bond.. What The!!!. The first time i have heard of this was when i got the letter. You would think that they would of told me sooner.
After a few calls around to see where the plans are found that they should go to council in a few days. But not before i pay the cash, which i paid. CAUSE I WANT MY HOUSE!!!

I think some people think that you have money in the bank all the time... When are the extras going to stop?
