Hi 1155 & everyone else!
We got our keys and completed our PCI and handover on the 14th. All details in the blog (no pics yet, need to find the camera…

I just got hooked up. Telstra is only available (or telstra wholesalers) - so I bit the bullet and got tpg on a TW port.
Sync at 23mbits

Yup I think thats it. Our neighbour just got hooked up, but is only getting 7mbps - guess we are still on the kellyville exchange. Like

Hi yopz,
thanks for the info! I have since found out via my neighbour that ADSL2+ is available with bigpond and probably TW resellers as you noted. Not the best value…

Congrats, we have our walkthrough on tuesday and hope for handover sometime later in the week.

They can be. We have got one for our final inspection only, but you can get them to oversee the construction, they will come out and check the house at…

Hi Guys,
Can anyone in Kalina report back on the broadband situation? I hear adsl1 is the only option. Really disappointed about that... its a new suburb and I thought the…

Hi all,
Not too sure, we are getting the 'old' Bordeaux, they changed the design slightly after they built the display home. So where the bar is in the display home…

That's awesome. Still no date set here. Will wait to hear if one of our 3 carpet choices are in-stock. What an eye opening experience that was....
Electrical's seem to be…

Not only did we have to re-pick our tiles, but now we have to re-pick our carpet, or wait 2 months for them to order it in?
I think mcdonald jones…

Good to hear, I'm planning to buy a Bosch. Nothing worse than having to wash dishes twice!

Loft looks good, just concerned about the entire house being a grey type colour. McDonald Jones had a nice red feature in the façade brochure where I got (stole?) the…

The guy at homeworld knew exactly what was standard, and usually the people at the display homes will point out what has been upgraded or not, if thats any help...

Loft by which brand? Taubmans?

Hi everyone,
They have just finished painting our front feature colour, and I'm a bit disappointed.
The chart we picked the colour off looked nothing like what we ended up with, or…

We've been told that we will be in by xmas. Totally unexpected but exciting!! so much planning to do now. Apparently our SS will have an exact date by the…

Congrats!
Our wet area tiling should have started today, painter arriving on monday, kitchen benchtops at the end of next week.
Fingers crossed.

Good point, we have been told 'its looking good' depending on how the tiling goes. But we cant nail them down to a date

Hey mate, how did you go with the kitchen?
Hope its all progressing for you. We had ours installed on time, luckily.

Bizzie Mummy your home looks fantastic, you must be so excited. To be honest I'm dreading having to pack up and move everything again, although 80% of our stuff is…

From what I remember, there are quite a few to choose from in the standard range. There was some confusions weather we got Essa stone or Caesar stone. Either looked…

We got pre-approval with a major back, took about a week after settlement for the finance to come through, no hitches. We were told its relatively standard practice after we…

Good job pman, we just had a big argument with a certain individual.
The Kalina design panel is a joke, the guidelines change with the weather. I hope for your sake…

Wow! how exciting! your sign looks fantastic, I hope you will put more pics up when you can!
I hope all goes well with your flooring and putting the rest of…

Yeah we did by around a month I think, they notified us about a month after, but since we were due for construction to start that very week, they waved…

Mind shooting me over the details and price you paid as well?
Cheers
Our kitchen is due monday week I believe.

Hey there,
The tile we had issues with was: Maithai Gloss White - which was a white tile with a very nice textured pin stripe through it, hard to explain. Hopefully…

So.... the tiles we selected for our bathroom walls are no longer available, and McDonald Jones' supplier (colourtile) rang us up to arrange a time to come and repick. We…

Ah that makes sense, we already had one in, although we got rejected for not showing the % or exact area calculation of it, if I recall correctly.

Congrats! hopefully it will be smooth sailing from here on in
By POS do you mean like an alfresco area?
