Last minute jitters

SO what are we doing? Is there enough storage? Will we be happy with only one main living area that is also where adults will congregate when entertaining? Looked at more display homes today that confirmed what we have chosen suits us!! Happy days!

Have to say we have already blown the budget and haven't included driveways, electricals or brick upgrades!! Finally feeling a little more excited rather that daunted tho so thats a great feeling.

Soooo, what can we share that will be useful to others?

Look at heaps of displays and then look again - what we thought we wanted originally has changed sooo much. Ask questions , ask questions and ask more! Sales people are there for that very reason!!

We are tossing up between chocolate bricks and red bricks - currently the red bricks are a little in front as we think they don't date as much! We have seen the red bricks with charcoal accessories and black front door and it looks very smart! Brown bricks are very popular at present tho!

Sooo much to do - pack a gazillion boxes, sort thru the crap, move most of it into storage and some to my girlfriends house. Then choose colours, flooring, carpets, and more. Still chasing council for vehicle crossing approval, apparently there is an electrical pit for underground power that we haven't budgeted for - $2500 - what else is in the unknown!!

We are putting sliding door to the theatre - then it can be soo much more than just a theatre. We are putting in double sided gas fireplace between family and out door area. This will be nice inside and be a good area to dry off after outdoor spa. I am not sure on pantry - how is this best used for food storage?? We will build a bar into the rumpus.

Sooo much to do....
