Ozzroo that fireplace is fantastic- so. very. jealous.

We did our own earthworks, we had a massive cut & fill then redirected a water course to get a big enough space for a slab to fit on our…

Too true, ours was P due to lots of fill. I said it costs what it costs to stop the lot slipping off down into the creek.

Shavey the wind rating normally accounts for the biggest upgrade in cost, always part for it being Colorbond not tiles, sometimes (in my case) part for rural wind ratings…

Once it is surrounded by the brick veneer wont it be relatively weather proofed? (Not in contact with the ground or anything).

The table, chairs, TV unit & coffee table are from 'Everyday Living' all in the 'Maison' range.

Jessrose may be referring to Site Supervisor? As yes it sounded like there was trouble on the Sunshine Coast last year... I'm on Brisbane North & at one point a…

We did different again, replaced pairs & triples of awnings for bigger sliders. We wanted maximum light not just ventilation, seeing as front boundary privacy is a non issue for…

I agree, looks like far less risk of a smack to the head if someone enters while you're using that sink.

It will be an after handover thing, a few companies specialise in this, wire rack systems and what not. The colour consultant people should have examples of one done as…

What a pain about that door. Tell me, did they charge you for a post contract variation that was really their draftsman's fault? It's an over sight that could have…

No, no completeinon date, perhaps late Novemeber if no more delays eventuate?
Re: display homes, we only went to Caboolture before our colour selection appointment. I popped into Northlakes though after…

Yep, I mean with the same builder though. I'm following all the Pl@ntation blogs (I can find) & basically all the singles have well & truly overtaken me & the…

I'm seeing that single story houses are built way quicker than doubles too, not sure if that's a factor.

Looks great, the last little wait must be painful I'd imagine. Did you change supervisor recently or keep A? I got a new one.
At a guess the drop down on…

Now for the wait... hope they are quick to get started.

Looks good. You got a hand over date yet?

It's always a shame to have to chop the nice trees. Don't worry you can go rats with replanting like I have.

Gorgeous. Such an even finish.

A lot of us do have the same one. He's excellent. There's been several things now he's modified to our advantage at no charge. Very approachable & seems to have…

Gester if there is wall sarking I've often seen plaster go in as soon as the roof is up (in new estates, not Plant@tion specifically). I'd imagine each supervisor may…

Ahh, that explains the cream carpet, I'm still with a 2yo in tow... I have years of spilt paint & crayon vandalism ahead.

Ahh cool, that's about what ours cost to change too. I agree, there are times when the grubs will not be going upstairs unshowered, though I'm having a dark beige…

Classic! My ensuite overlooks the road via a huge window, I forsee the exact scenario you describe resulting in crashing cars.
I meant to ask, did you have to upgrade…

Lookin goood.

Well, my last house I built was like that & we had a strom water easment underground to the back, so it went in there. By the sounds of what…

We have rubble pits to contain our surface storm water & then our tank overflow, as we have no 'curb' system to dispose of it into.
We had to pay extra…

Ha, and guess which handles we are getting!
It's looking great, can't belive the speed it's going now.

Did they design your HSTP? I got mine redesigned & requoted by 5 other companies as they were just stupid with their quote. Saved a bundle
