The two front bedroom windows are 2400h x 2100w each and are basically floor to ceiling glass - they look great (just won't worry about the cleaning they will bring).
We have many large fixed panels of glass in the house, most of which span 2400h - loving the glass and the feeling of space.
The rear 4 panel Alfresco door has also had the frame installed - can't wait to see this with the panels installed later.
The colour we chose was precious silver pearl, and has a lovely glitter / pearliest shimmer to it. Should look really good when we render the brick work after hand over.
There were two little issues however - seems the window company made a few errors. Our main bedroom window was made approx 100mm too short in height, and one of the front bedroom windows were made in the incorrect configuration - they were supposed to be a mirror image of one another, but instead, we received two of the same configuration. We rang our SS immediately, who said he had already discussed this with the supplier, and new windows were being arranged.
Aside from these little problems, we are very happy with our window selections.
The house has also started to be wrapped - its really feeling like a house now!
Tomorrow the gutter and faschia will be done, and more wrapping.

Hi Kylie,
ReplyDeleteCame across your blog through googling "Coral Home Builds"
Your place is coming along nicely. My fiance and I are building out at Spring Farm and believe it or not, we are also building the Daydream 28. The only difference we can see at the moment is that we built with the termite protected timber frame.
We have just had our roof tiles finished and the rough ins for plumbing and electrical will be done next week. I might start my own blog after looking at yours, I have all the photos and documentation to do so!
In regards to your retaining wall, we also feel your pain. The hassle of organising another builder, and then to council again to obtain a CC is just another problem that us as buyers don't need!
I think we got off lightly compared to yourself. We were told to build one retaining wall either side of our house, but council opted for a drop edge beam on one side (which hands that problem to Coral). We went with M & A Landscapes to do our wall. Couldn't fault these guys, really professional and quality work.
I hope your worries are now behind you and it's all smooth sailing from here on out! I'll try and check back here as both our houses progress.
Hi likewise we are blogging a build with coral homes and reading the blogs of others, will be following your progress with interest
