Just as an example, our window measurements on the plans are 1800, 600 etc. Actual measurements are more like 1814, 611, 608 etc. Not only do they differ to the…

Thanks for the tip with the water bottle, great idea. Usually I just mop with boiling water and lavender eucalyptus oil and a microfibre mop so I'm on the right…

I know, I am probably being unreasonable expecting a tradesman or someone in the building profession to actually show up on time, or at all!
One of my lovely friends…

I waited out there for an hour and he didn't show up!! So an hour of trying to keep a toddler occupied in the rain, who just wants to play…

We received all of our invoices before the stage was finished. At first we were obliging and payed in good faith that it would keep things moving along at a…

Yeah that's what I reckon, all those stinky boy germs going in there should be able to overpower a little bit of dunny cleaner! If Glen 20 can't kill it,…

Bahaha, will have to tell him he is under class! He thinks he's not a bogan. He likes to shoot things, drives a big loud car, builds old v8 holdens,…

Our dishwasher is Omega, just what the builder supplies. I have read good and bad things about them, will give a review once I'm out there using it. It has…

Wow, looks fantastic! What a grand farm house it will be. Love the manor red on your style of home, great choice.

My beautiful wood heater! Love it already and it hasnt even been lit yet.
Mirrors are installed. Think…

Hi guys, thanks for all the well wishes and congratulations, love the keys! Bit fancier than the ones we got on Friday!
So yes, we got keys, but no, we are…

Resisting the overwhelming urge to have a nap before handover this arv...

Thanks girls! I'm busy organising insurance today, meeting them out at the house at about 4 this arv. Getting my excitement back now, have to make up my mind about…

No, still not in We have been digging for retaining wall and organising earthworks for the driveway and drainage so we don't go mad waiting!…

My husband does his own laundry too! All my friends think it's bizarre
I got my laundry benchtop extended full width with no cupboards underneath on…

The brickwork looks great, and the house is looking huge! How nice was the camp out? Sounds like you have great tradies on the job.
Are the scorpions poisonous?? That's a…

Hi Anna, looks great! Can you tell me where the bar stools are from??
Jess

I am sooo glad you posted this! I hadn't really thought about them getting dirty, and we have red clay. I dunno what to do then, might just seal the…

Don't know what to say that is not too cheeky, so will just stick with

Thanks Mike & Mclaren for advice re final invoice. I am going to the bank tomorrow, going to ask if they will release it to me as a bank cheque…

I don't think we will be doing feature walls either. We are painting our theatre dark, and I really want to clad my fireplace with stone!! I don't want to…

Yeah we could only have 2 colours as well, one of which was ceiling white! I asked for white trim, seeing as they have to paint it with a different…

I don't think our painters even sanded them at all! A lot of our gloss work is rough as guts, the SS wasn't happy with it. I think any that…
