It rained off and on for nearly…

We just had the first decent bit of rain in months and the first rain of any sort since we moved in a couple of weeks ago.
After the rain we…

I was right they must read the forum. Had a call this morning from the NSW boss of the company that does the install of the hot water system. He…

I am going to speak with the department of Fair Trading over this issue.
We built in an area infested with termites and the whole reason we built with MJH was…

All of our eaves and varandah supports are timber as well. And its all untreated pine. Not even T2 termite resistant timber.
I searched and couldn't find anything that mentions anything…

Ok I am sorry, but it's time for me to have another rant. I am now very very annoyed to put it nicely.
It's now 37 days since our final inspection…

We had the same problem getting things done before getting our keys.
We ended up getting our keys only 3 days before the end of the contract period. I think they…

How many acres are you on? We have 5.

What design is the house? The interior looks fantastic. The outlook from the back door is awesome.

Sometimes i wish i was an electrician lol. We are doing IXL's after handover but we have had the pre wire for them done.

Pretty much the same for us. We could have got the lights cheaper ourselves through Beacon and saved maybe a few hundred over the whole house then maybe saved a…

I also had the same questions before my electrical appointment.
I asked the three electricians that gave me quotes to connect the power from my boundary to the house (5 acre…

You will probably find that you end up with "Clipsal" branded LED lights and not the ones from Beacon lighting.
I only found this out when i was having a general…

My house has been under construction for 4 months and they only just put in a couple of weeks ago a large garbage bag for recycling paper and cardboard. There…
