Congrats Cyclosarin. We also went through Thornton, but we have C.P as our SS, so can't help you with A.M. Enjoy watching your house!

Hello,
Just a quick update as I have not been on here in ages. We are now up to the painting stage, so getting closer to the end. We have chosen…

Really sorry to hear about your loss Heathcote. My thoughts are with you. What a stressful time.
I have been missing in action, but thought I should let you know…

PS:
Congrats on the sale of your house Kerith. Must be a weight off your mind! Sounds like your completed home is just around the corner.

Hello,
I drove out to Chisholm and had a look at all of those new slabs you mentioned Bax. they look good! I have just received the name of my SS-no…

Thanks Kerith! 30 mins is good. My little cherub is only 15 months old and if I left him sitting outside the room, he'd run out of the automatic sliding…

Hi. Just a quick question for anyone who can answer. Do you know how long the site start appointment roughly goes for? I may need to take my son if…

Hi everyone,
Great to see some of the builds going up so quickly! We received our final plans today and have site start appointment next Thursday, then I guess the waiting…

I have been absent on here for ages as I have been very busy moving house. We are out of our old house now-a bit sentimental about that!- and living…

Hello Guddi56,
I don't really understand what you mean by your final sentence, however, I thought I would share my Kitchen Culture experience. I realise many people on this forum had…

Hi!
I have been a bit busy of late and haven't had much time to read through the posts. We put our house on the market and it sold in a…

Hello Jason,
It is best to visit PGH prior to your colour appointment as you should have your exterior colour scheme worked out. PGH will tell you the bricks included in…

We chose 600x300 porcelain tiles with a rectified edge (super straight so less grout needed) and paid to match the grout as closely as possible.
Hope this helps

Hello everyone,
I have just chosen my floor tiles and chose a 450x450 charcoal matte floor tile for the house. I also chose 450x450 for the bathroom with white wall tiles…

Hello,
Congratulations Baulkham Hills on receiving your keys. How exciting. We had our DiL, plumbing and electrical appointments today, so thought I'd mention our choices in case it helps someone-though we…

Yeah, I casually mentioned glass splashbacks and was told the same thing. So expensive! I have been looking today and you can get some larger tiles that almost look like…

Hi Renski,
Good luck with your tender appointment. The main thing to prepare for your tender appointment is any structural change you would like to make. For example, removing a wall,…

PS. Congratulations on finishing Baulkham Hills. You must be so excited. Best wishes for tomorrow and the weekend

Hi,
From memory, Baulkham Hills is building one of the single storey prestige series homes-maybe the Hamilton??? The kitchen looks fabulous, doesn't it? I am also jealous of the pantry! I…

Haha! Yes, we're all hanging out to see it since none of us have ever actually set foot in a Sheffield25!!! You will have to keep the pics flowing!!! It…

Congrats Sheffield25. That must be exciting for you!!! I am so looking forward to seeing your house going up!

Hi! We initially upgraded our ceilings to 2590, but because my husband wanted the extra height in the garage we had to upgrade again to 2700 so we could have…

We chose things that couldn't be added later or would be difficult to initially live without-higher ceilings, electrical, higher garage etc. Melamine shelving in my kitchen was less than $400,…

Hi Renski,
I hope you are feeling better today. It is nerve-wracking building a home because you get too many opportunities to second guess things. My husband and I have visited…

I would visit Home Options Gallery. They have a wall of sample paint colour swatches to choose from and a few Taubmans brochures. I picked a colour from the 'White…

Are you doing Caesar Waterfalls x 3 in your kitchen? If so what was your cost? I asked Kitchen Culture…

Hello! We had 8 bricks to choose from. I remember gravel, surrey, mocha, dorset, vanilla, Hampshire (I think) were a few of them. I can't remember the others.
