Do you really want to accommodate the window? What is on the outside of the window? Do you want to be able to see your towels from outside?
I would…

I built cost plus with a family friend so saw all the prices as well the discounts they get through suppliers.
In most cases the builders margin was less than the…

Wait.. sex can involve a second person?!

Any progress Simeon?
Kneecaps next?!

Haha I don’t look that good in a white short and boxers!
It sounds so silly even writing it, but I’m holier than thou in the sock department!!

I’ve got a bloody weird question
Has anyone noticed excessive sock wear with hybrid?
I wear socks around the house most of the time.
We moved into a new build at the end…

We were lucky in that our old house was so small (86 square metres) compared to the new house, they were able to take enough readings around the old backyard…

Looking good!!

I used the spring toggle for the fixing to the cement board (for the eaves).
I did use the wallmate in the portico where we have ceiling gyprock in there.…

Excellent - great to hear mate!

With tongue firmly in cheek, how much risk has the government taken to earn this money?
Cheers for the breakdown. Real world costs are out of control - it's easy to…

Agreed.
We did paving around the two sides of the house. They did a good job but the ants are a pain. The paving was $90/sm in total.
We didn't get…

Its worked well - thank you for the help mate (on this and other threads)!

Not sure what made me think of this thread, but we are wrapt with our layout - oven, hot plate, sink and two dishwashers on the backbench and island with…

Again, great work!

Excellent work! Especially since you said a few months back it could be closer to 2.2-2.3m range.
Thanks for the regular updates and quick responses, its refreshing to see positivity.
I guesstimate…

Out of interest when did you sign contract?
From what I’ve seen there is a huge difference between signing mid 21 vs now?

I don’t have much to offer - our neighbour was awesome with the BA20. Our drama was getting the demo approval with a common wall.
Is the garage wall entirely on…

What are you hoping for from here?
To understand why? To get a next step? To vent?
You haven’t given much information really, and some things don’t quiet add up
How big is…

Nah no drama with ours.
It was just to confirm final LVR for a better rate.
The overall value was higher than we expected, land value was really high, so I take…

Also for ours we had final valuation completed last month. Ours was also custom. The improved value wasn't as much as we spent, it was down by about 75k/14%.

What has the builder quoted per square metre vs the bank?
Have you gotten another builders quote?

Are you talking about plain wall or around benches?
Full height tiling looks great but is expensive.
Basic tiling labour only cost us around $70/sm++ and tiles were around $30/sm++.
