Hi Kishii7,
Thanks! I found other blogs really useful so hoped mine could be of use to others too. Plus I also enjoy it. It will be nice to look back…

There is so much confusion around this! I have checked with both Stockland and Camden Council and was told there are no requirements for the crossover to be plain concrete,…

We had the same problem on both counts. There was a massive unsecured bag of Styrofoam on our empty block from the neighbours but the worst was that it was…

Hi Adbri and AHM1985 - we are 2B and had fun with an unreliable tradie who didn't show up 3 times to remove our excess soil... we made the mistake…

Hi Tandy2015,
We are building with MJH too but I'm not sure how the process may differ as we don't have a H&L package. From what I have seen around the…

Hi rk7,
It is BlueScope Steel - McDonald Jones our builder mainly builds with steel frame as opposed to timber.
I can't help but think of Zoolander every time I mention…

I don't think I'll ever be excited about gutters again lol. Roof expected by the end of the week!

We are also doing flooring after handover through Fowlers Carpets. They are local and were recommended by our builder. We haven't quite gotten to window furnishings yet but will get…

Awesome thanks, I love it! (our colour too, it's all the rage at the moment!) Good to see it on walls, it's so hard with tiny paper samples.

Dining, onto alfresco
Too cold to go outside! Lol!
Hi PixiGT. Your house looks great! Can I ask what your paint colour is? It looks similar to the one we chose which…

Congratulations! You must be so excited.

Hi Nimsy,
We are 2B, lot 2060 on Rover Street

Thanks!!! It's only starting to feel real now.

We have a slab!!!!

Hi Terran,
Requirements depend on the BAL rating of your land. Ours is Low so we have no requirements for modification. I would assume others already built may not require this…

Hooray! Congrats DiViS. Now the fun begins
Also - AmazingK, our slab supervisor just told us that they built 3 houses in a row on Navigator…

Hi Amazingk,
I have seen a copy of the site investigation report with the classification, which was organised through the builder. There are still other aggressive soil requirements though. I wonder…

Hi RaZr,
We were the same as DiViS above and had a H1 slab in our contract due to salinity. But you might get lucky - after our land registered and…

Yay! Congrats.
I wonder how old you will feel by the the time your house is done lol. The whole building process really tests your…

CDC approval woohoo! Should be on the construction list in the next week or so! Apparently there are a few slabs down on my street already. Congrats to everyone registering…

I feel like we should wear nametags with our homeone usernames! Haha see you Sunday!

2B as well!!!! Was only 2 weeks which was great

haha guilty. We have been in a few times. A lot of people do! The gates have been open sometimes or have had big gaps so it hasn't been hard.

Amazingk, what lot number are you? I just need to see SOMETHING on that damn patch of dirt lol

2A and 2B are registering in 2-4 weeks!!!!! Who's excited?!?? *raises both hands*

Oooo thanks for the heads up! I'll have a look now

Wow PixiGT so much progress, congrats! Would love to be involved in a catchup as well

As far as I'm aware the skirting board policy states that if you choose to leave it off for certain rooms, the skirting will be left onsite uncut and unpainted.

Thanks again to eveyone for your advice about valuation, approval etc. happy to say we have been conditionally approved and valuation is happening this week. Camden council were very helpful…

Yes you're right. This isn't pre-approval it's formal approval hence why they need the specific details which is fair enough. Sounds like you had a lot of fun and we…
