Final Selections Carpet Tiles & Electrical

What a day!! It would so far be the worst day since we started our journey.
Firstly 9.30am Tiles & Carpet Selection @ Di Lorenzo, i had pretty much decided to go with the same colour scheme as the display Entertainer @ Kellyville until the cost of the first floor tile was $100 per square so i picked the closest matching from the builders range...Bathrooms were pretty similar, same problem with the floor tile however i did get my Italian imported Glass Mosaics on the shower wall in the main bathroom and ensuite. YAY!! Then on to the carpet, well as i'm building with my partner and my mother my choice was thrown out the window straight away @ $14 per square over our allowance, i gave in to a no win situation and settled for their selection although the right price i really don't like it!!

Next, 11.30am Electrical and the headache became my worst nightmare!!! After 2hrs our lighting and electrical bill came in at just under $15,000, thats right $15,000....I never in my wildest dreams expected that. Well we only have five days to make any changes so i better get to it.

DA - Hornsby Shire Council

Well we now have two DA's in at Council 1 for demo and 1 for construction. Should be interesting to see if anyone has a problem with what we are doing, also a little concerned about fire restrictions but only time will tell.
