Hi there,
We are considering building Astor 43. It has some features similar to the Sanford 42 but Astor has more spaces such as study, theatre, etc. It looked amazing when…

our flooring is not Bolero. It is standard Spotted Gum. We had to pay additional to get floorboards at the hallway to the rooms.

Hi Jackula, who did you go with for the independent inspection? They seems to be doing a really good job.

Rendering cost around $400 if I remember correctly.

Here is an example

if you upgrade it will give a better look to the house. We went with standard but now feel we should have upgraded. Our facade doesn't look bad since we…
