Yeah you can really tell plantation homes apart from others, there's just something about them.
We're settling our land on Monday so the build can't start soon enough!
I'll have to…

Wow great to hear! We're building with plantation too, we're building at Lawnton! We're building the artisan with all the plantation upgrades. Can't wait!

You've come so far and it looks awesome! Loving all the handy tips you've given us all through your whole journey and continue to give. Thank you so much!

Definitely a wonderful splurge though, had a big hard think about it. It's great to hear you're doing so well!!!
Let us know what you decide to do with the dog…

Great to hear you're settling in! I did consider the heated floor tiles. I've opted for zoned bathrooms now instead (with the air con)

Must be so exciting and relieving.
I can bet it was a great feeling waking up in your house!
What are you doing for the home theatre? Is it a projector set…

Congratulations again!!!

Awesome!!!!!

Wow, finally there. What a journey! Well done!

Yes we have made provisions, I've got cabling to every TV (I've got servers) and have the Nbn in the NHP.
Yeah last I heard is our stage 3 east will…

So good! Nearly there!

Were just going to buy some nice light fittings for the bedrooms and retrofit (might try beacon lighting). The rest of our lights are led.

Yeah we are doing our own too! And our own driveway and fireplace too

Well, the bamboo is quite durable and if it ever looks scruffy in many years time, you do have the option to sand it back, stain, seal and polish. It's…

Thanks for the kind words, I've learned a lot from you already! Can't wait until you get in soon!

Kind of sad that we're paying $19,000 to get our earthworks, drop edge beams, stairs, ceiling heights etc
Also playing $5000 to lock the price in for next year and the…

That is a really solid effort with quite a lot of detail!
You've actually kept the costs for all those improvements considerably low, so well done!
Looking forward to seeing it all…

haha a mezzanine would be cool!
Unfortunately it is mainly because of the lie of the land. On the plus side, there will be a massive opportunity for some cool storage…

That's not the arise promotion? I've got 900mm, butlers included etc

Okay here is our list of NHP estimates
We're waiting on the final costs of the fireplace provision and internal steps for our garage.
Overall, total house (including absolutely everything) cost is…

Okay! Final NHP is in the process of being submitted, I'll post it up with all our extras documented when I get a chance tomorrow!

I've heard of situations in Canberra where people have moved their fill to unfenced blocks. It's a terrible situation but unless anyone catches them in the act, there's nothing you…

Looking terrific! So the "invisible deck" what's the rule to get a certificate of occupancy? Does it need to have a deck there? Are you getting one done? I'm just…

Well, we've got an updated plan but it's a bit of a mess, I think we'll need some steady experienced eyes and feedback to help us through. I'll post it…

The inspector would have failed them if it wasn't right

Yes it is definitely right

Yeah I've had a good look around too, won't be far behind. The south bit of Moncrieff is all but done! The road if fully laid and services in etc.…

Looks good! That trench does look a bit fiddly but nothing the pros aren't used to I'm sure!

Hope the trench saga finishes well for you, hasn't been easy with all those storms around either. Hang in there
