Topharin - it's Quickstep laminate flooring. Have had it previously and it's a great product, especially with kids!
Thanks Shaune_n_Bel...would love to see your blog but for some reason I…

Hi All...I haven't been ignoring the forum or my blog on purpose! But my last post was the last time I had Internet and 3wks later still NO internet other…

Good question, I was wondering the same thing
Hi, not a pro but understand your logic of thinking! But to explain how coffered ceilings have worked…

Eeek!!! I have had one in my house before, whilst living there! Nearly stepped on it in the dark so I know what you mean when you say got out…

Isn't it crazy what they first quote for the Milano to have downlights compared to what you actually spend! And would agree, way harder than colours. Goodluck for the next…

No only rear tap was on the plan. We questioned this at plan presentation and was told they haven't put on plan because they couldn't be sure of it's exact…

Hi All,
Well PCI happened last Tuesday with no major problems to report. Very happy with the finished product. When I get time I will update my blog in more…

Happy to say we have PCI on Tuesday with expected handover 7-10 days after. We have a couple of things on our list already & will put these on my…

I would be taking this up with your CLO for the scotia. I'm having floors done after so I will have no choice but I mentioned my dislike to my…

Thanks Nat and Dan - nice to know someone thinks I'm clever!
Will pm you later tonight when I have more time with a detailed…

Nat and Dan - so sorry if I scared you with the electrical costs but only pointed this out to you after you mentioned wanting downlights throughout & from memory…

Jazz926 - $15k would be a good safe bet.
Nat n Dan - If you look on my blog at electrical you will see what I got for $14.2k - mainly…

I agree with Dann...don't be afraid to ask. Our quote presentation took just over 3hrs because we had so much included. But right from the start we knew what we…

Thank You I have put some more pics on my blog & have labelled the bathroom pics for you with my tile choice. I'm…

Nat - I'm sure one of the new display homes at Shellcove has the 20m gap with the decking. I think it's in the Milano 4? I only remember because…

I know that feeling well of crazy busy michnchris! Have just caught up reading everyone's posts from the past week & thought I would post this to give you all…

I learnt from last build that when you sign up you have to state your mailing address of were you are living at time of build otherwise origin send out…

Hope you are having fun settling in Nat and MadamImAdam, OMG...your poor wife is going to be run off her feet with a new bub and house to unpack, but…

Congrats Nat...look forward to your pics!
jomarshall - Good choice with the Milano Our block was well suited for the smaller split and am…

Many Thanks...

newhousein2014 - Read your blog & I think your roof colour looks great with your choice of brick. How good do the bricks look after they are cleaned! I think…

Shaune_n_Bel - I actually seen tombstone in a house last week and I too would say more brown tones then grey. I picked all my colours without any advice from…

Our roof was finished last week, very happy with the colour! For anyone who hasn't had colour appoint & are considering colourbond Basalt - it's a true grey. We had…

I made the same choice - to have the builder do our non-carpet flooring. My reasoning was the same - that they would place skirting over the tiles and it…

Balified - our last build went over the contract date by 2 weeks (long story). Every build is different but it would seem MDJ have a great track record for…

Nat84 - Wow... what a difference to your previous photos! It's coming along very nicely, love your pendants! And by the way I'm liking that Stonebridge, lol.

Hi newhousein2014, it would seem we are racing each other with our Milano's My roof was also completed today and I have noticed…

Congrats Shaune_n_Bel! Hopefully you are pegged sooner rather than later!
Jasper & Jadee - your homes have come together beautifully. Has been nice to follow your journey. Look forward to the…

We had what looked like a cage over the downlight but I'm guessing from your explanation the electrician didn't seal them or at least not correctly. Having ducted externally there…

We had NON ducted with our last build thinking it wouldn't be a huge difference compared to externally. This time around we made sure we had it ducted externally. We…
