I am so sorry to hear you have had such a terrible time with the flooring!! And also sorry to hear about your dog
Two years…

Thank you so much for the information! It is very helpful. I have now contacted a few people for quotes.
One last question, how do you find them in terms…

Thanks John D
We have the blinds we had with the build currently so I am not too worried about having to wait, particularly for the right price!
I had never even…

Not sure if you get on here these days, or even check. But I was hoping to find out who you got your shutters with (rather then searching back through…

TBrown I'm not sure if you get on here much these days.
I was going to go back and try and find it but was having trouble. Where did you get…

Thank you for the congratulations.
We have found someone to finish off our garden so hopefully I will have some before and after photos to upload by the end of next…

So it has been a while. I have still been keeping up with a few builds when I have a chance.
It is hard to believe that we have been in…

Amazing kitchen!!
For sinks I think I'm the end the stainless steel is very practical and if your other appliances are silver it will all match.
From my experience of an undermount…

At the end of our build the final invoice ended up less the expected (due to some credits for the estimated amounts involved in site works).
We only transferred what…

Hi
We have views to the rear of our block so the Cube wouldn't have worked to make the most of it. But if we hadn't had the views we possibly…

You did a great job with the design!! We know that design well, we briefly considered it and our sales guy worked at the display so spent some time down…

Looking sooo good!! Not long now
Can't wait to see it all put together!! You have very similar colours to us.
We scored upgraded carpets in…

I didn't realise that!! I will have to take some photos, though I have to admit that in photos it is hard to see the difference but I have to…

Glad to hear you are still enjoying your house John!!
Much like you we are in a similar position, very happy with the house and many of our decisions but a…

I agree with changing from Red.
For our rentals we had red (that red rug look similar!) and we currently still have it in the 'living' room part of the house…

I have some of those shelves for cans in the pantry, mine were from kmart but don't extend out. kmart have some great kitchen storage options that are inexpensive.
Looking good!!

Hi
This is the shelf, You can get narrow ones as well.

I actually have one on my kitchen bench for my utensils container because I can slide…

Sorry to see the issues with the colour.
Just so you know don't worry about the Shale Grey being green. I can tell you we did it as our render and…

Looking good! Not long now!!
From experience when you get to PCI my one thing to look out for it the plaster job! we really aren't happy with ours, so messy…

Yay!!
I think this is a good idea. They probably didn't want to take responsibility initially if they said yes and then damaged it.
Can't wait to see your finished house

Looking good!! Love your final plan, I wish I had thought to put the sink to one side, hubby can get in the way with the sink in the middle…

I went and checked ours as I couldn't remember what they looked like.
Ours are similar though they come out of the ceiling a bit closer to the cornice. But they…

To give you an idea on cost our backyard is 10x4m we had just over half done with lawn (We went with Empire Zoysia for the lawn (based on some…

My only suggestion is look into grass varieties. Especially if you don't want to be out mowing every weekend and watering everyday in summer.
Our grass only needs to be mowed…

Looking good!!
We got a lot of new stuff for the house. We could then get furniture to fit the space rather then the odds and ends we had collected through…

Hi Justin
We have actually been in our house coming up 18 months. We built with Aussie in Pearsall. We had a roller coaster ride but in the end we have…

Been stalking your post, love what you did with the plan!! Hope it is smooth sailing!! LOVE all your choices

I think I missed a few of the edited posts but I hope things improve!!
If it makes you feel even remotely better we have a Redink build almost finished next…

Plants are going to look great!
You will love the grass!! We have it out the back and I thought I had killed it at the start of summer, as a…

Glad to hear you are safe! Hoping the wind dies down today to give them time to get it contained!
I have to admit I don't understand the decision to stay…
