Thank you. We’re pretty happy with the result.
We had landscapers do ours as we needed it done quickly for the kids and our dog....we’d still be going if we tried…

It has been ages since I’ve been in here.
We have pretty much settled into our new home. Still bits and pieces to do around the house, hang tv’s and art…

Wow, looks gorgeous!

Thanks, Vantage.
We are really happy with the house. Of course there’s a few things not quite right or a bit rough but overall we are happy and over the moon…

Not sure. We’re not using M for landscape.

Week 40: we have handover!!! 8th December we hand handover for our little Metro. I was away for work so the husband took possession.
He threw the gift box away so…

On the metal surrounds and apparently they have to be replaced as repair or touch up paint voids the warranty. I’m happy for them to be replaced it’s just annoying…

Week 37: PCI went ok. Independent inspector said it was mostly cosmetic issues. Lots of stacker doors to be replaced due to scratches and dents and I know the lead…

Our site costs were $65k but we’ve just been invoiced for an extra $1800 for traffic management as the provisional cost didn’t cover it all.
In our Prelim pricing it was…

Thank you. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

Week 35: carpet & blinds/curtains are in. Still waiting on plumber to finish off and shower screen in ensuite.
PCI, which they are calling ‘new home presentation’ is booked for the…

The difference is that M has to have the building checked by an independent inspector/surveyor and the one they use is built into your pricing. This is different to you…

Stairs were stained today
Clear stain on my beautiful blackbutt treads.

I should mention that my stairs were not stained by M. I work for a stair design and manufacturing company…

Thanks, Vantage.
It sure is a fireplace can’t wait to use it next winter.

Week 34: pillars were painted today. It’s been raining all afternoon so not sure how it will look tomorrow.
Tiling around kitchen island replaced too, plus carpet scraps could mean carpet…

Looking lovely. Well done and very exciting.
So hard to understand why QLD Metro’s take 4mths and VIC Metro’s take 8mths and counting
Can’t wait to see once you’ve moved in…

Left pillar will be Dulux Domino and right pillar will be Dulux Knowing (same as first floor cladding).
Portico will be tiled/paved with bluestone which will join a path of bluestone…

Thank you

Week 33: not much happening over the last few weeks. Every time I go past the doors are all locked and I can’t get in
Took a few snaps yesterday.…

We used Dig Dig Demolition (Melbourne) They gave a very detailed quote and removed a 4 bed brick home, brick front fence, carport and 2 sheds. Also included all asbestos.…

Why not keep it as a main bathroom but add 'jack & jill' sliding doors so that it becomes a semi ensuite for beds 2 & 3, but bed 4…
