Great news! Why can't all building problems be solved as easily?

I believe the builder should be responsible for it.
It's a relief to know that we aren't the only ones with a high gas bill. We almost died…

You know it doesn't really matter. A fence is a fence. Maybe I'll get the rest of mine in a Christmas stocking.

I've seen lots of fences around that don't have black posts (including our "short" fence ) but it does say in the guidelines that the…

Thanks, Bam. Was your fence part of a Stockland landscape/fencing package? We missed out on that, and had to organise our own fencing.
Our…

Mpcj, your house looks great! It won't be long before you're in it!
And a big YAY for the stairs!!

So true! Such a simple task, and they can't get it right!
I'm half considering starting up my own ethical fencing company. …

I'm one of the parties to the fencing chaos you mention. The fencing contractor that you refer to should rightfully be named and…

Hi TC. Congratulations on moving into your new house! I'm impressed that you have unpacked most of your boxes; I think…

That's bad luck about them being too dark. Yes, they do have quite small black markings throughout, but also, some have larger, bluish…

Mpcj, congratulations on your progress! Nice to have things underway!
We chose an Austral brick colour that is not as dark as Homestead Tan, but still a darker brown brick.…

TC, Congratulations
Your house looks lovely! Your kitchen is stunning.…

Mpcj, so nice of you to say that! I "borrowed" my user name from someone on another forum as I really…

TC, happy that PCI went well for you. Regarding the builder's cleaning process, my husband is still cleaning inside the window sills,…

TC, the retaining walls look great! It's not like you just have a mound of dirt to deal with now; it's given your future garden shape!
All the best for…

Congratulations!! Full steam ahead now!
And woohoo for fixed site costs!

Thanks! You wouldn't have known. I was quiet about it, mostly because I had no internet at all for about 2 weeks,…

Thanks Haven!! Hope all is going well for you
Thanks, we got the keys 3 weeks ago today. Still unpacking.... but everything is…

Building1, I spent the first term of this school year taking my children to school in the area that the new house was being built. It was a 35-40…

Great news about the house being back on, Mpcj!! Very exciting! Hope the rest falls into place nicely for you. …

Thanks, but it's only temporary. We were desperate so bought some pre-paid broadband, which must be running out by now.
Cable still isn't…

Congratulations! That would be a relief for you!

TC, your house is looking fantastic! I'm sure you can't wait to move into it. It will come around sooner than you think.
I think that…

I think it's been there for a while. Looks like algae.....although algae's usually green, isn't it?
You may have to take a closer look!

Well, you've almost doubled my posts! Good work!
It will be nice when you finally get to move there. I'm good; things…

Your block's in a nice area, Mpcj. That's one of the hills I always look at when we're driving around.
Congrats on…

Your fence looks good, Lisa. You have loads of space on the alfresco side!
Is that…

Yes, we were asked at our contract signing to provide a copy of the signed mortgage documents (AKA Consumer Credit Contract) when we received them and before we returned them…

Congrats on your 1000 posts, TC!
Sorry that you don't like your render. It doesn't look like what I thought paperbark would look…

I think my family would be the ones on the right! My kids love driving around looking at the Christmas lights. Christmas night…
