Hi Lisa,

I can't view the attachment but it sounds wonderfull. We are so glad things are getting sorted for you guys, you deserve it, well done.
We are in the process of starting our own business at the moment, which is scaring the pants off me!! but it looks like Ian is going to have loads of work so it should be good, fingers crossed, although very stressfull.

If the business does well we will be back to Brissy for another holiday so we will pop in and have a look at your new pad then.

Ian says hi to Andy.


All the best guys, enjoy it!

lol..... Yeah

Luckily the scale is 1cm = 1m....... so the kids have measured their things and cut slips ov paper to scale to check if they fit..... Glad they did really cuz it helped to see where to put the plug sockets....... I think we get 16 doubles as standard...... and any extra are $40 each....

In the UK when you choose the fitments for your new build...... everything is chosen in the sales office.....

we have had to go to Beenleigh for tiles, Wynnum for the kitchen units and bathroom cupboards, Capalaba for the lighting, Window dressing as they call it and security blinds in Cleveland..... the carpet guy and door man came to see us at home...... (QLD may i add)

All thats sorted....... just got to pick a colour for the rendering.....

Told my mum yesterday about our plans....... "ure staying then!" was the reply....... anyways...... I drove around and took pix of the land and its surroundings to send to her....... hopefully she will come around.....

Some of the carpet bundled into the projects homes can be pretty ordinary in terms of performance (stretches, etc). Suggest you check the quality with the supplier. The extra cost of a better standard may save you in the long run.

If you are on a red soil site DONT go for light colours, consider tiles if you dont like dark carpet. If you choose light it will go red....

Forgot to suggest you check on the termite system being provided to the house

I assume that is perimeter and penetrations. That sounds good.

Good luck with it all. The building activity is slowing, a little. I know of some who have waited 16-18 months.

The property market in general has slowed, quite aggresively IMHO since last year.
Developer friends of ours are speculating hikes in prices 1st quarter 2007 !!

Hat off to Boomie n Co. Well done
