Wow! That's some lovely contrast! And once the gardens are done .... gorgeous!

Thanks guys!! Totally agree with all those statements trees, with one to add - a key to freedom! Even though it ties me down to a job basically for life,…

It's looking so good now trees! Love the FFL (and I don't know about anyone else but every time I see that I think final floor level

Thanks!! So happy that I teared up a little on the way home, and I couldn't stop touching the keys

Hi all,
I've been stalking this site for several months now, while trying to decide whether to buy established or build .... I finally decided that the only way to get…

Big Day yesterday! Left the house at 7:30 to head up to the block for the final inspection, and then my day was a lot of driving - Jarrahdale -…

Might have to move up to the cocktails then Melsie. Maybe some tea of the long island variety? And definitely agree, I can't imagine trying to keep an eye on…

Wow it's looking great! Your living space is incredible!

I don't think the massive bath hob is a bad thing ... After all, you'll need somewhere to put the candles and rest your wine glass

I can't remember what they're called Elle (can't find my pick sheets either) but they're from Imported Ceramics and if they're the same ones they had them laid in one…

Have you read the things you forgot thread? That has some great prestart advice, and some of that I would never have thought of ...

It really is! The small squares of sample they have just don't cut it when it comes to visualising it on the floor next to the rest of your décor.…

Wow it's going up so quickly!! The way you're going I imagine you'll be able to get to roof cover before the wet weather kicks in ...

Wow your tiling looks so much better! And you're so organised! I've got a vague idea of paint colours but have to come up with firm colours soon cause Dad's…

So I had my PCI inspection on Friday, and while I wasn't expecting the house to be finished I have to admit it was a little less finished than I…

I'm a little obsessed with the idea of a natural pool. I love the idea of a chemical free system. It's unfortunate that there seems to be very little information…

Not looking good. Finally got a hold of one of the ladies in the accounts department, she actually said that they went over on the site works, and also that…

Yeah Melsie Luke is my SS. Haven't met him but it seems like he does a good job Do you know if the new CL…

Just caught up on your thread and oh my! I love your kitchen!! Acres of bench space just waiting to be used ...

Who knew there were so many air conditioning choices right! Are you thinking of changing your vents because you like the look of the round ones or because of what…

Good to know asj. Will clarify that with Redink tomorrow and then may be on the phone to the council ... definitely wouldn't be keen on a lengthy wait as…

It wasn't unexpected AKB, as Redink allow the payment of prestart variations with the final payment - and my variations included septics and things so were about $40000. But what…
