Hello!
I'll start with noting we are first home owners, which obviously
means first time builders as well. Prior to this, we have had no experience at
all when it comes to picking a block of land, down to picking a size or colour
of a brick etc.!
We brought an unregistered block in August so things may
take a little longer for us than it has others. Land isn't due to be registered
until June 2015 at Jordan Springs
DESIGN:
The design
we've picked is the Nova by McDonald Jones Homes.
Although this wasn't on
display anywhere we fell in love with the floor plan and the display homes at
Kellyville Home World.
We made very minor changes to the house
* We
have a recess in our theatre room
* We have a recessed wall in the family
room
* We extended our wardrobes from 2 doors to 3 doors
* We added
recesses to both showers
* We changed doors on the pantry and added one to
the theatre room
* We added on the Impressions upgrades package by McDonald
Jones
