We're getting the "Armstrong Creek Times" (ie: the Surf Coast Times) and have done for a couple of months or so...

To add to the previous posters, for the benefit of anyone who doesn't like this look and would like to avoid it, you can get coloured concrete roof tiles, ie:…

There was lots of water pooled in the flat grassy area next to Barwon Heads Road near the northern end of development. Hopefully the swale that runs into the…

Is the BS claiming that the fall on yours is supposed to be as steep as it is? If so, ask them the display's niche has been defected for…

How appropriate that you refer to him as the "BS". Don't sign or pay for completion of this stage until someone at PD commits to getting it fixed, and…

There's a Public Acquisition Overlay that you can see on the Planning Maps Online website running alongside the current route of Barwon Heads Road from the intersection at Marshalltown Road…

Oh well. Maybe I can nudge some of the more annoying ones near the gutters myself, and/or just learn to live with it. I suspect it's not worth…

They have agreed to get the tile manufacturer to fix the loose valley tiles (which you can't really see very well in these photos) without any argument, but the ones…

It appears that the standard for "alignment" of battens specified in the AS document refers to alignment to the flat plane across the hypothetical ideal roof line, ie: how much…

We have flat concrete tiles, and if I had heard before our selection studio appointment what I have since heard since about the use of rough cut timber for battens…

Thanks for that Stewie,
Would batten deflection under normal full load (which I would tend to think would be bowing) tend to cause roof tiles to appear to kick up at…

I've done some research regarding roof tile installation and timber in general, but so far I've been unable to find any specification for how far a timber roof batten may…

The libs, I believe, are planning to roll out Fibre To The Node (specifically VDSL2+ - similar to the DSL that's prevalent now but faster because the loop is shorter)…

elle, was your roof sarked?

Supplier replied and asked me to send in photos, haven't heard anything since then. I sent a whole lot of photos of my own roof and their own display…

I have recently built in an NBN estate and had NBN installed.
In a new house, you will need a conduit to get the fibre from the street up to the…

One thing that will help narrow it down is what kind of phone service you want.
If you want a traditional-like phone service using analogue handsets, two or four-wire wall points…

This may be of use: http://www.warralily.com.au/Warralily/media/Warralily/Documents/NBN057_BuilderCabler_Flyer_V12.pdf
Definitely run a drawstring through the conduit. Convention here seems to be to tie the end of the drawstring in the lead-in conduit to…

The side laps are the interlocking bits circled, right? I'm not sure if there's anything holding them apart in those sections. I wouldn't know what the hell I…

This is the sort of thing I'm talking about, there are a few spots like these. Hopefully the photos are clear enough to see what I'm talking about:

Our house was finished last December, and our roof tiles are CSR Monier Madison. At various points in the building process I noticed a few spots where tiles were…

My parents' place required repair from termite damage about 10 years ago and they built in a less-rural area than Armstrong Creek, in the '70s, so I think some kind…

You won't know for sure what slab you'll need until after the soil test, but if I were you I would budget for a slab to suit a P class…

NBN for the first few stages should be live on 12/3 http://www.devotednbn.com.au/index.php?route=common/greenfields#CONNEWARRE

Mt Duneed Regional Primary School is not far away, would that be suitable?

Did this estate have land contracts stipulating that owners had to submit plans, landscaping designs etc. to a review board, abide by their decisions, etc? I'm not sure if…

This is what was in our variation for BAL 12.5 compliance:
* Bushfire Garage vehicular door compliance - nylon brush to along top of door.
* Bushfire weephole compliance (mesh cartridges)
* Foil…

If you're talking about Bushfire Attack Level, it was 12.5. Since we had already signed on to build, paid deposit, etc. when the regulations changed, we had the option…

Your land contract should contain a soil test conducted somewhere on the parent lot (ie: the unsubdivided land, in your case, probably 772-890 Barwon Heads Road or so) which in…
