I can't answer the question about the safety rail but I know it was done and the tilers started on the day my SS told me so he arranged it…

I am getting 11 blinds throughout my house for $1800 through Wynstan. That includes the triple decker door in the great room. They are going to be installed…

My contract for a single storey home was 32 weeks and they took 13.5 weeks. I also paid for the enviro-wrap but as they did the bricks, the seal…

Depends I think. Even though I had the enviro-seal put on they still did the bricks before the roof. Others have had the roof done first.

I thought that when they started my demolition but it was done in three days. It took them most of that time to remove the fibro/asbestos sheets from the…

What I found, after I moved in, was that they simply used by recycling bin for their rubbish and didn't bother putting it out to get it emptied.
As for the…

I asked about the difference between the site inspection and a survey and the way it was explained was that in older blocks there is an existing survey plan on…

Yes the rinse aid is full but the dishes simply don't dry.

One word about the Baumatic dishwasher - don't throw out teatowel and draining boards as you will need them - washes beautifully but doesn't dry the dishes. I have…

I hate councils - with a passion.
About 5 weeks ago I went to council to arrange the new driveway and removal of the old one and new footpaths etc. …

My bedroom is at the back of the house and the air-con had to go there as otherwise it would have been on the side of the house and too…

All I did was change from the included to an inverter system because it is directly under my bedroom window and I didn't want it waking me in the night…

I did my demolition with Democorp and they were great. When they quoted me they quoted $10,000 for a two-bedroom fibro asbestos with garage from the 40s and then…

For those of you who know the ongoing saga with my electricity connection - good news - finally today electricity was connected so I have lights in the great room…

I would agree with what has been said here - slow as slow can be getting the paperwork done first and then go go go.
I too have built in the…

Question for those of you have finished their builds and then had a maintenance issue:
How long after reporting an issue has it take for maintenance to get back to you…

I have my driveway done as far as it can be until Council takes over - but they measured up over three weeks ago and I still haven't heard from…

I finally have been told that electricity will be connected before I move on Monday - finally some good news on that front.

I hope the weather stays fine for you but a regular soaking of rain on my new lawn would be nice.
I was around at my new home today - moving…

My landscaping is now finished and it looks quite good.
Still waiting for the electricity - but hopefully that will be sorted next week.
So far have had two issues which need…

They cleaned up everything that they had left around except the bricks were simply left in the one place and I had to arrange to move them into the garage.
They…

What I have found is that they are slow until they start building and then they are fine. Since PCI I have had a couple of issues that have…
