Today is the long awaited site meeting! We went through the house room by room, ensuring taps, cupboards, doors, bulkheads and so on were as we wanted them and this took us 3 hours and we still didn’t manage to get through all rooms! We agreed to meet back again in roughly a month’s time so that we could reconfirm what we discussed and go through a couple of more items. We are so close to having a roof on now and it was stated that the next 4 weeks were critical to us having the house completed before Christmas.
We ended up changing a couple a number of things, i.e. the direction in which doors opened, bulkhead positions and so on. We also decided to change the surface of our garage façade to be acrylic render and our alfresco to be composite wood decking rather than tiles. By changing our alfresco to decking we were then able to raise this area up with minimal cost to get that seamless indoor outdoor look where the floor heights are level. Also a sample of the outdoor tile that we were planning to use was brought to the house and unfortunately it really didn’t give us the look we were after - lesson learnt to bring samples out of the show room/warehouse and onsite to see how it looks. In the end we have selected another tile that I have seen in a friend’s alfresco so I know exactly how it will look.
