Its going well StephyD but haven't had much time to settle in yet as we've been sorting out our old rental. We handed the keys in yesterday, so we'll be…

In vic there are only about 4 or 6 in the standard range. My colour scheme is grey too. Check them out in person, they look different to the brochure/website......ours…

Check out my thread, there should be some photos there. I chose Blackwood, through PTF.

yoihoi: It seems you're hitting out at everyone who doesn't agree with you.
I've had a bad experience too, however things like changes to the home once its commenced, I…

We built through Simonds in VIC.
The only standard bricks were cream and red ones, there were no brown ones (which I was devastated about!).
We were able to do a tour…

We've moved most of our stuff now stayxtrue. Its just all the little bits and pieces that we don't know what to do with. We'll probably get a skip and…

Congratulations Deluxes.

Thanks everyone, moving day is finally here. I'll put some photos up when the house doesnt look like a bomb site!!

Thanks everyone. Our appliance install is tomorrow and hopefully it all goes well so there are no problems for our move.

Finally, after 19 months of waiting we're hoping to settle our land on Wednesday, then we can start builing the Sierra.

Woohoo! We have our keys. Its a bit surreal because the journey to get here was a long one.
We wwet to the house once we got the keys, looked…

Our settlement is booked for next Tuesday!!! YAY!!!
Unfortunately we won't be moving for another week as we can't take time off work next week and am away Anzac Day weekend.…

Congratulations stayxtrue....enjoy your weekend moving in. Looking forward to seeing photos.

So close, yet not close enough!! The house is ready to go now, however we're waiting on the bank to do the valuation correctly (apparently the report wasn't right). We…

I won't have a butlers pantry in my house or anything even close to it, however in my opinion from having a very small kitchen at the moment I would…

Tuesday!! Thats so exciting!!

No official news yet, final job for fixing everything up is booked for next Tuesday, SS reckons we could have handover before Easter, but I highly doubt it and don't…

We initially went to an office out South East (Cranbourne??) for our sales appointment, our CRC is in the northern office, I like her, however when we were trying to…

Best of luck homeontherange, I hope you have a better experience than we've had, I hear that the Eastern office is better than the northern.

I spoke with (hopefully) our 3rd and final SS yesterday and am actually happy with the outcome (for the time being). He is aware that we've had a rough trot…

Thanks Vladmari. We hope it all works out soon too!

You'll be issued an invoice after PCI, you send this to the bank, ask them to pay, they'll do their inspection then you pick up a bank cheque at the…

I feel your pain stayxtrue, as you would know, about not knowing a handover date. Fingers crossed we're both before Easter.

_lucinda, fencing is included in his contract, I think he's being d0dgy because he thinks I'm a dumb girl who doesn't know my rights or how to fight. Well, he's…

Yeah, the rock is on both sides. I'm sick of this process, it has been a nightmare since the beginnning. Its obviously the 'universe' telling us we shouldn't move into…

I hate this house, I hate this land, I hate this process. Seriously gonna lose my you know what!
Just got a call from my neighbour who is building with Denis…

They can't proceed to the next step until the whole house is finished, so everything is waiting on handles.
