With the ensuite have you thought about/talked to Cahill about putting a shower seat instead where the duct was? We have one in ours and it's actually amazing (and as…

You'd be best contacting the Bluestone developer team to confirm - we're next door at Springlake who only uses ELGas but not all developers have specific requirements.

Are you building in a new development or an established area?
Most developers have a specific gas provider suggested unless you're expected to have bottles at your own home rather than…

Handover was today - very exciting.
Not any photos in all the rushing due to an annoying mix up. Three little things to be fixed up but all in writing…

Bunnings definitely has those, their called latches or something. Most people can help with a photo for sure.

That's all really good to hear! We've been hearing from everyone that builders want nothing to do with you after the cheque but glad to hear Simonds have been accommodating…

The house is definitely looking more like a home!!
How long did you find handover at the office went for, and did you have any troubles with the 3-month maintenance point,…

So our PCI has been and gone. Basically only a few items that were not already noted in the QA discussed, and potentially handover sometime next week depending on the…

Yeah definitely frustrating as we'd be told could have been in before January finished.
However PCI has now been set (all going well on the QA tomorrow thought) for Monday! Scary…

Competitive meaning whose made the most profit by gouging customers and delivering substandard work in order to generate higher profits. Yep. Great on them.
Truly, you'd be best leaving people…

Hi Metricon, not liking the feedback?

We're building with Simonds and in the Bush Fire region - however even without being in the region we would have taken it.
It saved us trying to sort out fly…

Some photos from the last time we snuck in a week and a bit ago. So very concerned that this isn't going to be finished by their QA.

Ducting and…

If nothing else it gives us more time to organise our furniture and insurance etc.
(And for me have horrifying nightmares about the build!!)
Retaining in our landscaping is costing…

Sorry, we're in Adelaide. But if they have ducted in their display I'd recommend checking what brand (over here it was Daikin) and then demand they provide the same level…

Well our previously advised "move in date" has come and gone... and the QA for Simonds is due to be this Thursday. We have no update on our PCI as…

We got a daikin through them - 20kw system in our double storey done.

We've finally (after about 5 quotes) decided upon a pergola provider.
We've confirmed a quote and got a beautiful design from Homestyle Living Outdoors from up on North East Road who…

Thanks so much! It's looking so lovely but progress is of course hitting that terrifying stall out of Christmas! (And my tiles still haven't been fixed

Had to pop up over the weekend on request by our solar providers to advise them where we'd like our unit installed.
While we were there, the house was open…

I love it so much! It's so big and shiney haha
(On the pipe notes for those watching: They are to go into the water tanks so that's all good!)

After a lot of back-and-forth we've got an almost finalised landscape design.
The Garden Depot have been great with working with us to develop the plan we want and continue to…

The builders have mostly addressed the storm water issue, though two pipes don't currently have a port to go into?!
However, tiles have started and our pivot door is now…

Our site meeting went well enough - we've changed some items of our landscape plan so we no longer need to stress regarding the pergola issues, and Simonds booked in…

We're about to have a site meeting this week with our SS as our cabinets and stairs have gone in - we've got a few mucky photos through the windows…

Although we're locked out, our tradies seemingly accidentally left our laundry door open so we've had the chance to explore upstairs this weekend!

It is soooooo gorgeous - we're so excited with how lovely it's all looking, and just how nice the bricks are once they're cleaned (as the top story has been…

Regarding the venting issue - our SS has already had the electrical team out to resolve it. The electrical company who installed it simply placed it in the wrong place/went…
