Think our guys charged $8 per plant although these were pretty small. Standard turf was Sir Walter so happy with that. Feature rocks were in the $30-$40 bracket.

A plan on an A3 sheet at 1:200 would give you coverage of about 80m x 50m. While they dictate the scale of the plan, the paper size is usually…

Thanks for peoples interest, the turf should have a new home later today.

Afternoon all.
I have 15sqm of Sir Walter turf that was delivered Saturday left over from the backyard. Seems a waste to throw it all away so if anyone wants…

I recently bought 100+ plants online as tubestock. I kept them in thier pots for a little while before planting and they are going fantastic. There are a couple of…

We bought the $30 kmart chairs, they are very good for the price.
Table wise we hunted around Suite deals, BBO etc. Picked up a freedom table at less than…

Check around your local nurseries or online for viro cells of turf, this may be a cheaper option but will take longer to establish in the short term.

I had previously seen the watergator systems at Mitre 10, but the price was a bit beyond what i was prepared to spend. Went to Bunnings, bought a 240L wheelie…

Fu, any experience/views on laying a lawn using viro-cells? From my limited reading, it seems this is a pretty cost effective method if you are not in a hurry for…

Once you have found the adress, go to the build map section. Click on the folder marked aerial photography and check the box under it mared aerial photography 2009 or…

As a side note, the aerial photography in the link above is more current than google earth. It was flown Jan 2009, although the resolution and navigation is not as…

If you do a search for an address based on any number in the street you are after, once it has the correct…

Has anyone had any experience in buying water to fill water tanks/pools etc? Have found a few places on-line but they have no indication of rough prices etc.

Fu,
If moving into a house that has recently had turf installed recently as part of a landscape package, what would be the best course of action to a healthy…

The HIA building contract makes mention that for the period of the build, the land is under the control of the builder. For this reason, any injury, theft etc during…

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone knows of any good reference sites for building garden steps from sleepers. They will be going up an embankment so my thoughts were along…

There seems to be some descrepencies in colors of this brick between the batches. Looking at houses on a list given to us by Boral, none looked the same. Our…

If you want to drop me an email at ifyareckon at gmail dot com i can probably help you in determining if you can get a car to turn around…

If possible, i would try and add it during the build. PD charged $120 for the extra point. I'm sure you will be looking at a lot more than that…

Bugger!

Maybe send in the fencing application to Peet and see if they do it anyway

Did your stage not come with the colorbond fencing from Peet? What about the landscaping?

Go the bigger block. In the long run, the larger block will probably attract a better price when selling. And if you build a house that isn't covering most of…

Stumbled across a house looking remarkably similar to those in the photos here while out riding tonight!
Render colours look excellant beejay. Would consider…

Temp fencing around stage 19 was taken down yesterday. Not long now.

Final payment is made at handover and a time to come back and install appliances is usually made. Tradies will check to make sure they are working before leaving.

Glad to see stage 19 is close to being titled. A bit over looking at all that temp fencing

Noticed they were digging some new holes in stage 19 yesterday, might be the reason for the delays there.

Had this on one wall during our build. SS had someone come in a screw it in instead of re nailing. Looking good now.
