Rawson Seaview 36: Practical Completion Date - 11/3/16 (Syd)

Thanks guys! Over the moon on all fronts but especially with the new edition to the family. Still so many projects to take on... alfresco and porch tiling, veggie patch,…

Also the reason for being MIA is 2 fold, plenty of work post handover going on each weekend and the…

This is kind of the reason why I decided to post, I've been seeing a lot of Rawson backlash but I wanted to share my experience, both good and bad.…

It's been a while between drinks but figured it was worth a quick update on our build process wit Rawson, particularly the back end of it and the warranty period…

** work annoys me so much! Sorry to hear that. Hopefully the grass recovers for you and works out.

That's great to know! Watering is key I guess and the more the better by the looks of it.

Loving your work! Out of curiosity considering I also just laid Palmetto over the weekend, how many times a day are you watering and for how long at a time?

Hey Calvin. Place is looking great. Having just completed my own landscaping, I'm curious to know what turf you laid and how often are you watering now and for how…

I like the sound of that Steve. Did you have to move any clay based soil and if so, how did it cope? Also did you arrange your own transport…

Hey Steve so you mind if I ask roughly what those Dingo tippers cost to hire and for how long? Do you operate yourself?

I feel your pain SteveMc. My wife and have decided we will be going down the OB or small builder path if we ever build again.

Red, we're maybe 8 weeks over contract period. Best of luck with it, things might have picked up a little since we started building.

Hey Calvin, just curious if you hit up rawson for liquidated damages for the delay? My build time is approaching your timeframe and I'm contemplating pursuing it but not sure…

Thanks for the prompt input. I'm in the same boat at your husband, hence the 900 high vanities. I can life with 850 upstairs. I could even life with 750…

To be honest Steve, not too happy. It's too light and doesn't look like the Bluestone color we selected. Unless they still have to paint a top coat or…

We've got a driveway!! Very surprised to see it was completed, SS advised it was being poured on Tuesday so we weren't expecting to see it finished today.

At this point were leaning toward Roman style blinds or double rollers. Definitely looking at using the pelmet too. Gives it a nice neat look.
That's the same reason why we…

Yeah I've alway wondered the same thing with shutter, what happens when you want more light? The display homes with shutters always seem dark. They're also very bulky.

Hoping to get a little input in window coverings options. What are people's opinions on roller blinds (single or double) vs Romans vs plantations in terms of durability and function?…

I did an earlier pre-lining inspection with Houspect but I felt Tyrrells were far more thorough.
Rawson used Tyrrells for their pre-lining inspection and I saw the report, it was…
