Thanks mate. Yeah I know the feeling - I’ve actually decided to take time off to finish skirtings etc so it’s not hanging over my head forever. You’ll get there!…

It’s been a while, so thought I’d throw up some pics. I think my last backyard photos were of stormwater going in, so with retic, lawn, shed and water tank…

I’m a bit late to the party on this thread, but welcome to Brightwood! Your house design looks awesome.

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction.
I installed my own soakwells a few months back. Pit in the back, pit in the front, with 90mm…

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction.
Using this guide, I installed my own soakwells a few months back. Pit in the back, pit in the…

Yeah, the front is palmetto and was included as standard in the end so I didn’t have to pay anything. The back is Sir Walter as of yesterday - will…

Looks great Bob! Amazing how much of a difference it makes.
For anyone SOR contact AG Buffalo if you’re after Sir Walter. Was a good price compared to others, and he…

Evolution of the front yard - so good to have it finished!

Thanks! It was $550 but that’s for 1.5m wide. I did get one cheaper quote but the guy had no website or reviews so I steered clear.

From this:

To this!
It’s enjoyable looking back at photos to see dirt become a house.
It’s been a hectic month, with stormwater, paving, crossover, side gate, antenna, alarm, clothesline, front lights all…

So Bob, how’s the new pad going? If you’re like me you haven’t had time to think about Homeone for weeks

Congrats Jenza, that floor looks awesome!
As far as I know the tiles need at least a day or two after going down and then probably another day minimum after they’ve…

Congrats on the slab. Hope you guys had a great holiday!

And I’m in! Reception sucks so I will have to do a proper update when the nbn is connected.

Yep keen to get in now! So many things lined up for Monday week, so I’m hoping for keys on Friday

Forgot to add photos!

Had the final inspection this morning. Took about 1 hour 45 which was a bit longer than anticipated!
There were plenty of red stickers for wall/paint touch ups but nothing significant.…

Looking good mate.

Final inspection ('New Home Presentation') booked for 26/9 then keys on 10/10 all being well.

Final inspection was put off, probably by about a week. The internal walls have remained too wet to paint. I'm glad they're not rushing that though. They need three days…

Great work on the tiling selections! Nailed it!

Now you have something tangible it gets really exciting! Looking forward to progress pics

Congratulations on keys! Hope the painting goes well

I had the same thing. It basically gets filled with cement. If floor tiles are going in there make sure they use a flexible adhesive. If you have skirting boards…

I've been house sitting for much of the last 18 months so most of my things have been in storage anyway! Probably only a couple of boxes to fill and…

Yep, 11th September! Then keys 10 working days later, so about the 25th. Not long now at all.

Had to sneak down on the weekend and look through windows. Most of the tiling has been done, looks good!

Looking great

It'll be my main lounge area to start with and it will only be me and (sometimes) my other half there. No kids or housemates makes it easier but I…

Thanks guys. I think I will leave both for now. They're both post handover projects anyway, but neither are particularly urgent. More of a re-sale attractiveness thing probably, so I…
