It does not look anywhere near as good in real. The edges have quite a large chamfer which is stained black!<br />
<br />
Aside from this, Bold informed me that the bamboo they use is supplied by green earth. (also known as green future, e-flooring and Kaizan flooring!) Stopped by their showroom this afternoon after work and picked up a sample of a very lovely bit of bamboo! This pic below really does not do this colour justice. (opposite to the Arc French bleed!)<br />
<br />

So at this stage, Brushed Mocha bamboo it is!matymoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07562393322313633680noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339624467113502976.post-85440178988067168192013-07-20T06:24:00.002-07:002013-07-20T06:26:00.211-07:00Floored.After visiting just about every display home in Brisbane and on the gold coast, I must say, hands down, rectified edge polished porcelin tiles are my pick for living area floors.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, their way over the top prices cannot be justified. So what can we use instead? I've never liked the ugly cement coloured grout lines of pressed edge ceramic tiles. So they are out.<br />
<br />
A colleague suggested vinyl plank flooring. At first I was keen. I then realised that in a large area, due to the 'printed' nature of the planks, you would see a repeating pattern. Not to mention the fact that over time, it will look worn and tatty (Next time you are in a big shopping center, have a look in a lot of the clothes shops that tend to use vinyl and you will see what I mean).<br />
<br />
Enter bamboo flooring. Harder than the hardest hardwoods, natural and random look and very affordable. My builer has quoted me for bamboo and the price is reasonable, though I have seen it much cheaper. I am waiting to find out who the supplier is as this is the colour I have in mind....<br />

Although this kitchen is not exactly the same as our chosen design (It was one I drew up for a heavily modified Plantation design), it's pretty close to what we want.<br />

It took me a few months of watching youtube tutorials and messing around to learn enough to draw the above immages. I highly recommend sketchup and maxwell for visualising your home!matymoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07562393322313633680noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339624467113502976.post-55073496346480477992013-07-13T05:16:00.001-07:002013-07-13T05:41:23.741-07:00What's the plan?Well! It has been quite some time since I've posted! Lot's been holding us back. Last year, I spent about a third of the year working in sunny Geelong and earlier this year, Joyce and I had a little baby girl!<br />
<br />
Finally the time has come to stop paying the council money for a lump of dirt that's doing nothing!<br />
<br />
First up, we will be building with Bold Properties. I've had quotes from Metricon, Plantation and Adenbrook (for an almost identical design.... Adenbrook have gone bankrupt! Thankfully, I only got their quote for the hell of it)<br />
<br />
Soooo..... here is my modified version (as drawn by me) of the <a href="http://www.boldproperties.com.au/albatross.php" target="_blank">Bold design</a>...<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My modified design.... forgot to draw door to patio.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
Having had quotes from three other builders for similar sized homes, I must say Bold are the best value for money hands down. (Although Adenbrooks quote was on par with Bold, the sales rep refused to give me a copy of the quote and required a $1500 deposit before we could proceede<br />
further)<br />
<br />
Bold have been extremely flexible with the design I have chosen. They have provided me with a wealth of information and details of several of their designs and have been absolutely up front about costs of everything I have asked for. Yes, we have already exceded the budget that I set, but not by much!<br />

As you can see, only 6 blocks are left! starting at the bottom right, BBC homes, (not started), Coral homes (block scraped), PlanBuild, (frame up, windows and some doors installed!), Plantation, (slab laid). The next two blocks are empty. I've been told Bold own the one next to mine. Mine is the end one and I am planning to build with Bold. across the road to the left of my block and just above the laneway, Bold (not started). At the top right, a two storey is going up. This is the only two storey so far and I'm told it's and owner/builder.<br />

Pic taken from the eastern end of the street. Here you can see the Planbuild place is well underway. I am blown away at how fast this place has progressed!

Plenty of very nice blocks up there, most were quite small. Then around February, there was this beauty.....<br />
<br />

It was 588sqm and $269,000. Great views huh? Problem is, about 100m behind the block, is a corredor for the proposed North South Arterial Rd. Damn.<br />
<br />
Then, around July, a colleague mentioned that there was a subdivision going on down the road from him. Ideal location! Just 2 mins drive from out townhouse, bus stop, direct to city just a minutes walk and best part,Woolworths, bottle shop and pub only 10 mins walk up the road! We went to check it out. Had my eye on this block, adjacent to the park, corner block and 620sqm....<br />
<br />

Problem was, it was already under contract! The other 620sqm corner block however, was available!!! Put down a deposit in September and then the wait began for it to be granted title by Council....<br />

Now we just need a house!!matymoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07562393322313633680noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339624467113502976.post-73398927373640085202012-04-10T06:37:00.003-07:002013-07-13T04:52:56.915-07:00Background.Around January 2011, Joycey and I started talking about moving out of the pokey townhouse into a proper house. We started looking around Bracken Ridge on Brisbanes north side. Whats we saw was pretty depressing. Most houses needed quite a bit of work to make them a home.<br />
<br />
Got chatting to a mate at work who had in the past, renovated but is now living in a home he had built new a few years back. His advice was build! Renovating a whole house means for a year or more, every evening after work spent sanding, painting etc etc. Lots of $$$ and in the end, it's an old house spruced up.<br />
<br />
Building new means picking everything you want, having rooms where you want and having someone else do the hard work and hand you keys at the end of it all. Well, that's kind of the plan anyway!<br />
<br />
We visited the display homes at North Lakes and were very impressed with what we saw! It pretty much convinced us to build.<br />
<br />
Now, the search for land.....matymoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07562393322313633680noreply@blogger.com0
