Talking Boomie's Pad......

It's 12 months on the 11th October since we arrived in sunni Briz...... We have had our ups n downs..... probably more downs to be honest...... mainly due to employment..... but as we are both now working we have looked into getting our own place......

Due to the size of our family we have decided to build so we know we are getting the room sizes we want..... here is the plan which we have had designed to our needs.....The designer has said it should be completed by the end of March...... so all is exciting at the mo....

hope it works...... not attached anythin for a while!

Hi Boomie,
Wow, this looks fab. I bet you can't wait to move in
Can I be really cheeky and ask ('cos I know lots of others on here will want to), who is the house designed by and what you are paying for it. Rough figure will do.
Hope you don't mind me asking, but we would really like a house this size (3 teenagers and lots of family wanting to visit etc).
Hopefully the new place will help you get over the problems you've had with work etc.
Thanks
Julie

That looks the dogs bollocks!! Where do you work, must pay a mint

What a great looking house Boomie. Although we wont be living in Queensland, would really like to have an idea of costs involved. We would love to build our own, when we get to North NSW.

Yeah the house is great....... we wanted somethin that would last us..... we dont want to keep buying and selling..... for the first time my five kids will have their own bedroom...... they are so happy.....

The house measures 31.5 squares or 293.3 square metres in total if that means anything to you.....

I have pm'd you with reference to costs etc.

Cracking house mate, very nice.
I'm not interested in the cost of the house or land etc. as thats available from real estate agents and builders, but what I would like to ask you if you dont mind is how much you had to pay the architect to come up with this design and how much time you spent with him/her ?
Did you then take your design to all the builders and say "How much to build that ?"

Thanks

Chris

Perhaps Noah could lend you the plans for his Ark with the size of your family!

If you don't mind paying travelling expenses...I know an Electrician?!

Good luck with it,
