The colours (Cosham Interiors PART 1)

Today we arrived at Cosham Interiors in Mount Waverley. We spent almost 3 hours browsing the choice of bricks, roof tiles, floor tiles, doors, taps, bench tops, paint, laminate, sinks, stoves, etc etc. It was all very overwhelming, but gave us a really good idea of what was available. We made a short list for next week when we go back and have our final appointment.

Even though this appointment wasn't a one on one appointment, the staff were always available when we had questions, and helped us to put together some colour schemes that worked well.

Looking forward to next week!

The land deposit...

Transferred the remainder of the deposit to Lauders Real Estate today, we're $17,000 lighter, but the block is now pretty much officially ours!

Just waiting on our written pre-approved finance letter from CBA... they're dragging their feet!!

The house quotation PART 2...

Today we met with our consultant out at Henley Mernda again. We sat down for almost 2 hours to go over all the costs in fine detail.

Because of the strict building guildelines at Mitchell's Run we've had to add the following:
Rain water tank, 450mm eaves to the entire house, timber framed windows to the facade. (all of which we were planning to have anyway).

We picked a lighting plan, added extra power points and light fittings throughout.

We booked two colour appointments with Cosham Interiors, the first appointment is to get a feel of what they have to offer and to make some initial picks, the second appiontment will be to finalise the cololur scheme to move onto to the tender and building contract stages.
