Hi everyone. I know of a couple of builders that offer an online portal to track the progress of your home, but a lot of people I have spoken to…

Between the unpacking, the digging, the paving and the sorting of everything, I've managed to take a few photos with furniture.





Really loving the theatre room, it's our escape from…

Thanks guys. I have been extremely busy with the painting, installing downlights and power points, moving all the furniture from the storage unit into the garage (and managed to get…

Big day yesterday! The builder just managed to squeeze handover in before the new financial year.
Earlier I intentionally didn't name the builder, just in case I needed to have a…

Booked in for final inspection and keys on Tuesday the 30th June. Just in time for the new financial year

PCI went really well this morning. The supervisor is pushing to get things finished before he has surgery in the first week of July. Sucks for him, but works…

In what appears to be an unprecedented move, the builder has moved PCI forward to Wednesday morning.
In less than 36 hours I will have completed the PCI. Fingers crossed for…

Paving and painting have been finished. I was really worried about the brown render. We initially chose it to match the roof, but then everything else was a…

Dropped passed yesterday and the paving had been completed (well almost, should be finished today) and the house had been cleaned inside.
The painters have been there today doing the…

There also needs to be considerations in terms of power points. Power cannot be connected to any power point that is within spray distance of a shower head unless there…

I just spoke with the CL. Unfortunately things aren't going to be as quick as I had hoped (I think because of the weather, but they haven't used that as…

That part must be outside the home I believe. They might be installing the pcd, or outside small box, on the other side of the wir wall?

I did just check out some reviews though, I'm starting to wonder whether they are any Good

For nbn I have found exetel to be the best value. Unlimited 100 mbps for 89 a month. I can't vouch for their service though. Given that the nbn…

I think these are pretty obvious, so the ss would be aware of them.
pretty sure the sparky drilled the light in the wrong spot and tried to cover…

Your place looks really good Justin. I've refrained from commenting on your thread because you have enough people to reply to as it is! I'm really lucky that I haven't…

Dropped by today and the internal door and shelf painting was competed, along with the front door.

The garage door was also installed, which surprised me. I expected…

Plumbers went through yesterday, we have some nice shiny tapwear and toilets


Loving the stove top too.
Spoke with the ss yesterday. The inside painting for doors,…

So we popped in today thinking nothing had been done this week (except the insulation which was installed) but came across a pleasant surprise the mirrors and shower screens…

We bought the same soniq tv as part of a whole house package second hand. It hasn't missed a beat and I can't tell the difference between it and…

I picked my parents up from the airport last night and they wanted to see the house on the way home. When they left for their holiday the house was…

So if you're on the road they wouldn't notice you taking a bit of time off for pci. Consider it transit time.

Thanks Justin. I've suffered a bit from colour choice anxiety. After pre start I had forgotten what the colours looked like together, and have worried that they wouldn't work.…

A few snaps of the wet areas now that the tiling is almost compete
Double shower in en suite
Shower in main bathroom
Main bathroom
Laundry

Total size is 3370 X 900.

The island bench top has arrived, and it's huge, exactly what I wanted.

The tiling for the splashback is done. We plan on putting utensil and spice racks on…

I received an email today saying that the tiles were finished, so will have to take a look on the weekend.
My list of things to complete is below, but it…

Another positive, you made the paper (kind of).

Best of luck finding something else. I agree keeping away from the E&R sector is probably a good move.

That makes sense. I put my tv point down the bottom as well, that way I can use a video recorder and connect that up to the TV.…

Have they got two tv points in that top one, or is one data? Seems strange to put both in.
