My partner in crime is the most power conscience, green, recycling human on Earth. McDonalds containers are washed in the sink before being dried and placed with love into the…

The software has limitations like ability to do split level homes etc easily but it is easy to use. Being male and adverse to any form of instruction I skipped…

The neighbours
It pays to attend your block very frequently. I popped by one day and nothing happening. 2 days later I pop by and alas my neighbours are building already.…

Paint colour....
We went with Taubmans NH39 Calico Beige Low Sheen
Vanity Basins
No Gold salad bowls allowed however we did go for the Midnight Sky colour round glass style. It looks fantastic…

The colour consultation
I feared this. Everyone tells you that choosing colours is so hard. They make it sound like it is the pain associated with giving birth to triplets or…

Flooring upstairs
This is a difficult one. 5 kids means a lot of activity so a long wearing floor is a must. With the staircase being spotted gum it makes sense…

Kitchen Benchtops
My better half introduced me to the concept of Concrete benchtops. New to Australia yet huge in the USA, I knew nothing of it. Luckily my partner knows the…

Floor Finish downstairs
Downstairs we have decided to go with White Epoxy in high gloss. Bullet proof stuff. Seamless flooring is a relatively new product to the Australian residential market however…

The Laundry Chute
This was a must have condition of a two story house if I sought to have a long term harmonious relationship. You have no idea how hard it…

Funny things...
The staircase. One of those moments where I am sure Roselea thought we were on drugs was around the staircase. We were insistent that we liked the staircase in…

Choices / Colours
Being a chicken, I decided to leave this entirely to my better half. After all, I have the theatre room AKA mancave and large garage so the colour…

Contract time...
Nervous we were and we still attended with some questions. Not surprisingly any final concerns were allayed and contracts signed.
The time frame is around 4 to 5 months…

The DCP
What $^^#* you off... Now our Council is a very good Council in my view. They get a lot right. And of cause, no one ever likes councils because…

The design and quote stage...
Im sure we were not their worse ever customers throughout the sales process and they would be way too polite and professional to comment, but we…
