Hi all, looking for some thoughts about plant and more so tree selection down one side of my house. See pictures below.
Basically I have a kitchen splash back window which…

Gotta agree with Ian, never heard a peep since I moved in last September.

Hi guys, I'm sort of getting annoyed with the run around I'm getting with trying to organise plantation shutters. I specifically ask for quotes for a type of material and…

There is talk that the housing commission in Cranebrook will be torn down and the people living in them will be segregated to blend better in with the community this…

That's terrible to hear Denise, have you expressed this with Peter? I'm a first home builder but I challenged everything and worked with them and things came back good for…

Oh - and if it helps. Cat 5 can only support a 1 gigabit, while cat 6 can support up to 10 gigabite. Being a fibre internet connection I…

I paid for it - to upgrade later would be a big pain and there is a pretty big difference especially if you're streaming media from PC's etc. I'm a…

Good stuff mate! My metal beams were delivered yesterday, hoping they're putting them up today. They stayed away yesterday.

Yep and there should be no charge for it. It's part of the std services like water and gas. Feedback from the opticomm night was they should just do it.

Talking to the concreter, poor guy is so behind and he's been dying to get more done. Mine has been sitting their for two weeks ready to go.

My slab was done today - finaly!!!

I've held off as mine has been ready to go for a week or two, this rain though is giving me concern. Might have to do it but if I…

FTTH emails came out - can read the full email on my blog if you like, save pasting it all here.

Basically due in 6…

Nope - had one for the last 7 years. Working and trying to look after is to hard for me, also made it hard to let the little one play…

Haha - no it was the wife's first look, I just had to drive and have another. Yeh, brand new fence by the looks of…

It's exciting news. I found out today mine starts next week. Drove out today and I had a fence and a loo on site. Very happy, especially after all the…

It can be done after yeah. Hoping we get a few more builders back this week. I heard they wont be back until the 16th, damm that's a long break…

I only know that they were looking to reschedule that BBQ because of the rain. Have you heard anything else?
Nice to hear from some close neighbours, sounds like Jordan Springs…

I'm on Crimson as well. Looks like I'll have a few in before mines done to help keep an eye out.
Which house is yours jordanspringsfamily?

That's a shame Mash, yeh I got them real early and got some ripper deals.
Is anyone else building out there blogging?

Shaikin - It will defiantly get better. I've had friends build in new estates and were the first in their estate and it appears to be a common thing, happened…

Really - where about's? I was there today and didn't see it but if it's there that's not good. Once the place gets some more people it will get better.
I've…

Hey Mash - I rang the OSR and they said you don't have to bother writing a letter if it's only a few weeks over. I think you did the…

Was this levy on their DA consent form from council? My consent form mentions nothing except the $500 infrastructure Restoration bond. If it's not on there you're being told porky's.

Nope - just a $500 bond for protection to footpaths etc. Which you get back at the end.

I had the same question, mine is due 16th December. The builder can write a letter and extend that time with the office of state revenue. I streesed to the…

Was it the Sentinal Alarm guys - spoke to them today, seems like a good price. Only thing is I think some points might be missing like how to get…
