I'm so over it. I'm lucky my boss is understanding because I've barely made it into the office the last few weeks.
On the upside, I was a bit cheeky and…

Our "one week" shower rebuild is now entering week 5. And this is for a leak I reported in the first week of January.
Week one they removed the screen and…

yep - very similar to us.... it was an issue with the drain leaking. Good luck - it is such a pain going through plumbing refits! And they damaged our…

That is so bad blackcat20 ! Our main bathroom shower had to be completely replaced as it was leaking through lounge ceiling. It…

Surprise surprise our aircon died again at the start of the year. I'm wondering if we can push for a full replacement at this point.
We've also been without a shower…

Gobsmacked though that they delay taking out insurance, its for our benefit not theirs.

Not yet, I've requested the policy number from HIA but now I'm not feeling very confident.

Wed signed a contract and paid a deposit. Hopefully the insurance comes through, we're in a much better position than many. Definitely not a builder I thought would collapse.

Ours has pretty much had all its parts replaced. It was dead on handover day.... Apparently there was a faulty batch of something so that wasn't a great start. Current…

We're back on the warranty train as our aircon died (again) over the weekend. We were told last time it was repaired that another failure would result in a full…

Yeah we had the same problem, I had to contact them multiple times to get things kicking off again.

Our little Miss is now a big sister to baby boy who arrived mid-March
And we finally got that creaking step fixed. All the broken…

I honestly couldnt be bothered, the leak was so bad it had to be replaced immediately. In hindsight I should have taken it into Reece plumbing myself but oh well.…

Oh how exciting!
Land prices are horrendous, out our way its an extra $100k to get something the same size as ours. We definitely wont be moving for a while....

What a trip down memory lane rereading this whole thread! Feeling quite nostalgic as we're expecting baby #2 next month.
Had M back in a few weeks back to chase up…

Looks fabulous

Good use of leftover bricks! We had a whole pallet left, ended up giving heaps away and we still have plenty.

In some areas toilets must be flushed by recycled water, ie the purple pipes/tap

Looks fab.

Looks great!

In our area, eaves are compulsory for the front but not the rest, and it looks ridiculous. I'm so glad we did it the whole way around.

Waterproofing for wet areas is standard, you'll be given th certificate at handover.
I can definitely recommend eaves all around, sarking and double glazing. They all improve the insulation qualities of…

I like Hamptons but we went scandi with ours. We figure simple whites and timbers are unlikely to date, and you can accessorise however you like.

Shower has been finished and looks so much better. Here's hoping it's easier to keep clean.
We've had a serious mouse problem which culminated in one in our pot drawer and…

We have the
dripping noise above our master bedroom, which is the hot water system. Until your post I hadn't thought much about it but we do get a random…

The grout is cracking and has worn thin in places, you can see the terracotta tile colour around the edges.
My only disappointment is that we have a tile that sits…

Ensuite shower gets stripped out tomorrow. The whole thing is going to be redone with epoxy grout.

Busy weekend of painting. All our nail pops were patched Saturday and a couple of walls repainted. Our upstairs ceilings were all painted today, and the downstairs ones will be…

Online, I'd have to see if I could find where

He's far more reasonable than others I've dealt with.
